Answer:

33 feet

22 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the longer piece be x

Therefore the shorter piece is (2/3)x

x + (2/3)x  = 55                  Combine the left 2 terms.

(3/3)x + (2/3)x = 55           Add  

(5/3)x = 55                        Multiply both sides by (3/5)

(3/5) * (5/3)x = (3/5)*55

x = 33

The larger piece is 33 feet

The smaller piece is (2/3) * 33 = 22 feet

Which of the statements are true regarding dot plots bar graphs and historgrams

the only statement that is true is the one in option D.

"Bar graphs are used to represent data that is discrete".

<h3>Which of the statements are true regarding dot plots, bar graphs, and histograms?</h3>

Dot plots,  bar graphs, and histograms are used to repersent graphically data sets.

Thus, what these graphs do represent are populations in a data set with a given property.

Remember that data is usually discrete, so we usually use dot plots and bar graphs to represent discrete data.

Histograms show distributions of numerical data (it can be used for continuous or discrete data).

With all that in mind, we conclude that the only statement that is true is the one in option D.

"Bar graphs are used to represent data that is discrete".

Answer:

a) Yes, HL

Step-by-step explanation:

We\ know\ that:\\Both\ triangles\ are\ right\ triangles. (90\ degree)\\They\ share\ a\ common\ side.\\They\ have\ their\ hypotenuses\ corresponding.\\Hence,\\Through\ HL(If\ the\ hypotenuse\ and\ any\ leg\ of\ the\ triangles\ are\ corresponding,then,\ the\ two\ triangles\ are\ congruent.)

Measuring by using Trigonometry
liberstina [14]

Answer:

x approximately = 11.971, y approximately = 0.837

Step-by-step explanation:

the 12 ft is the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle formed

Cos (theta) = adjacent/hypotenuse

so Cos(4) = x/12, solving for x = 11.971

Sin(theta) = opposite/hypotenuse

so Sin(4) = y/12, solving for y = 0.837
