Examine the diagram at right. The smaller triangle (inside of the larger triangle) is similar to larger triangle. How can you so

lve for x? Now , determine the lengths of m and p . Note that when no units are given on measurements , you may assume that all units are the same .

As the exercise says, the triangles are similar. So, we can set up proportions between correspondent sides.

In order to solve for x we can set up the proportion between the horizontal and vertical sides:

28\div 11.2 = 27+x \div x

Solving this proportion for x implies x=18

Now you can solve for m and p using the pythagorean theorem, because both triangles are right:

m = \sqrt{18^2+11.2^2} =21.2

Then, we know that the hypothenuse of the big triangle is m+p, so we have

m+p=\sqrt{(18+27)^2+28^2} = 53

which implies

p = 53-p = 53-21.2=31.8

Question part points submissions used as a science project, you drop a watermelon off the top of the empire state building, 320
Nataly [62]
We are given a watermelon dropped at free fall from a building 320 meters above the sidewalk. Superman is headed down at 30 meters per second. We are asked to determine how fast is the watermelon going when it passes Superman. To solve for the final velocity of the watermelon, we will use one of the kinematic equations (free fall):

vf = vi + a*t

where vf is the final velocity
            vi is the initial velocity, zero
            a is the acceleration, in this case, gravitational acceleration = 9.8m/s^2
            t is time

we also need to set-up another equation using the distance:

d = vf + vi / 2 * t

(1) 320 m = vf * t /2

(2) vf = 9.8 m/s^2 * t

From here, we have two equations and two unknown, thus we can solve the problem by substitution.

<span>2.Which type of variables are usually on the y-axis and represent output?
</span>they usually are the dependent variables, that is, they depend on the x value, such as velocity, price, income.

3.Which type of variables are usually on the x-axis and represent input?
those are the independent variables such as time, distance, price.

<span>4.Which type of slope is represented on a graph as a horizontal line? </span>
the slope of an horizontal line is zero.

<span>5.Find the slope of 2x + 4y = 12
</span>the general form of the line is:
4y = - 2x + 12
y = -(1/2)x + 3

hence the slope is -1/2

The sum of 9and -16 increased by 4
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement is,

→ Sum of 9 and -16 increased by 4

The equation will be,

→ {9 +(-16)} + 4

→ (9 - 16) + 4

→ -7 + 4

→ [ -3 ]

Hence, the solution is -3.
