Consider △LNM. Which statements are true for triangle LNM? Check all that apply. The side opposite ∠L is NM. The side opposite ∠

Anvisha [2.4K]

The following statements are true by definition:

The side opposite ∠L is NM.

The side opposite ∠N is ML.

The side opposite to the angle should not contain any letter of that side.

<span>The following statements are not essentially true because we have no idea if triangle LNM is a right triangle (if it is, then we do not know what the hypotenuse is):</span>

The hypotenuse is NM.

The hypotenuse is LN.

<span>The following statements are not true:</span>

The side adjacent ∠L is NM.

The side adjacent ∠N is ML.

They are not true because the side adjacent to an angle should have its letter on the side. For example, the side adjacent to ∠L should be LN or LM and for ∠N it should be NM or NL.

Two planes left simultaneously from the same airport and headed in the same direction towards another airport 3600 km away. The

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

800 kph
600 kph

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equation</u>

Let s represent the speed of the faster plane. Then its travel time is ...

time = distance/speed = 3600/s

travel time for the slower plane is ...

time = distance/speed = 3600/(s -200)

The difference in these times is 1.5 hours, so we have ...

3600/(s -200) -3600/s = 1.5

<u>Solution</u>

Multiplying by (2/3)s(s -200), we get ...

2400(s) -2400(s -200) = s(s -200)

s^2 -200s -480000 = 0 . . . . . . . . . . rewrite in standard form

(s -800)(s +600) = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . factor

The positive value of s that makes a factor zero is s = 800.

<u>Conclusion</u>

The speed of the faster plane was 800 km/h; of the slower plane, 600 km/h.

_____

<em>Check</em>

The travel time for the faster plane was 3600/800 = 4.5 hours. For the slower plane, 3600/600 = 6 hours, a difference of 1.5 hours.

Scott bought a pen and received change of $4.75 in 25 coins, all dimes and quarters. How many of each kind did he receive?

dangina [55]

Answer:

He received 10 dimes and 15 quarters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimes = $0.10

Quarters = $0.25

Variable x = dimes

Variable y = quarters

Create a pair of linear equations:

0.10x + 0.25y = 4.75

x + y = 25

Isolate any variable, using an equation of your choice:

x + y = 25

x = 25 - y

Plug in this new value of x into the other equation:

0.10(25 - y) + 0.25y = 4.75

Use the distributive property:

2.5 - 0.10y + 0.25y = 4.75

Combine like terms:

2.5 + 0.15y = 4.75

Isolate variable y:

0.15y = 2.25

y = 15

Plug in the value of y into any equation:

x + y = 25

x + 15 = 25

Isolate variable x:

x = 10
