Answer:

$42.88

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's create a proportion using the following setup:

cost/pounds=cost/pounds

We know that it costs $20.42 for a 10 pound turkey.

$20.42/10 pounds= cost/pounds

We don't know how much a 21 pound turkey costs, so we can say that it costs $x for a 21 pound turkey.

$20.42/ 10 pounds= $x/ 21 pounds

20.42/10=x/21

We want to find x, by getting x by itself.

x is being divided by 21. The inverse of division is multiplication. Multiply both sides by 21.

21*(20.42/10)=(x/21)*21

21* 20.42/10=x

21*2.042=x

42.882=x

Round to the nearest cent, or hundredth.

42.88=x

x= $42.88

A 21 pound turkey costs $42.88

What are the coordinates of the endpoints of the midsegment for △XYZ that is parallel to XZ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ?
Ksenya-84 [330]

The coordinates of the endpoints of the mid-segment of Δ XYZ that parallel to XZ are (1 , 6) and (1 , 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

In a triangle the segment which joining the mid points of two sides:

  • Parallel to the 3rd side
  • Its length is equal half the length of the 3rd side
  • It's called the mid-segment of the triangle

In Δ XYZ

∵ Vertex X is (0 , 7)

∵ Vertex Y is (2 , 5)

∵ Vertex Z is (0 , 1)

∵ The mid-segment of Δ XYZ is parallel to XZ

- The mid-segment intersects the other two sides of the Δ

  at their mid-points

∴ The mid-segment intersects XY and YZ at their midpoints

∴ The endpoints of the mid-segment are the midpoints of

   XY and YZ

The mid point of a segments whose endpoints are (x_{1},y_{1}) and (x_{2},y_{2}) is (\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2},\frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2})

∵ X = (0 , 7) and Y = (2 , 5)

∴ x_{1} = 0 and x_{2} = 2

∴ y_{1} = 7 and y_{2} = 5

∵ The mid point of XY = (\frac{0+2}{2},\frac{7+5}{2})

∴ The mid point of XY = (\frac{2}{2},\frac{12}{2})

∴ The mid point of XY = (1 , 6)

∵ Z = (0 , 1) and Y = (2 , 5)

∴ x_{1} = 0 and x_{2} = 2

∴ y_{1} = 1 and y_{2} = 5

∵ The mid point of ZY = (\frac{0+2}{2},\frac{1+5}{2})

∴ The mid point of ZY = (\frac{2}{2},\frac{6}{2})

∴ The mid point of ZY = (1 , 3)

∵ The endpoints of the mid-segment are the midpoints of

   XY and YZ

∴ The end points of the mid segments are (1 , 6) and (1 , 3)

The coordinates of the endpoints of the mid-segment of Δ XYZ that parallel to XZ are (1 , 6) and (1 , 3)

What is the absolute value of 3 above par
lubasha [3.4K]
The absolute value of 3 above par means any value more than the absolute value of 3. The absolute value of 3 is (+) 3 since an absolute value of a number cannot be negative. Above par means positive (+), so more than the specified value of 3. <span />
