Answer:

The proportion <u>1 L : 0.26 gal = x L : 12500 gal</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A fountain holds 12,500 gallons of water.

1 L = 0.26 gal

Now, to get the proportion to solve for the number of litres.

1\ L : 0.26\ gal = x\ L:12500\ gal

\frac{1\ L}{0.26\ gal} =\frac{x\ L}{12500\ gal}

<em>On solving :</em>

x=12500(\frac{1}{0.26})\ L

Therefore, the proportion <u>1 L : 0.26 gal = x L : 12500 gal</u>.

The regular price of a baseball hat is 14.45$. If Carlos buys the baseball hat on sale for 20% off the regular price, how much c
otez555 [7]

Answer:

$8.44

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the 20%

x/14.45=20/100

14.45×20=289

289÷100=2.89

We then subtract 2.89 from 14.45 to get the selling price.

14.45-2.89=11.56

$11.56 is the price of the baseball hat on sale.

To get the change

20-11.56=8.44

$8.44 is the change

What is the best approximation of the surface area of this right cone
Tatiana [17]
Use the formula for the surface area of a right cone:

\sf A=\pi rs+\pi r^2

Where 'r' is the radius and 's' is the slant height, plug in what we know(use 3.14 to approximate for pi):

\sf A=(3.14)(12)(15)+(3.14)(12)^2

Multiply and simplify exponent:

\sf A=565.2+(3.14)(144)

Multiply:

\sf A=565.2+452.16

Add, round to the nearest whole number:

\boxed{\sf A\approx 1017~cm^2}

Which angles are vertical angles?
shutvik [7]

Answer:

<DCA and <BCF

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertically opposite angles are the angles <DCA and <BCF. These angles are always equal.

  • When two lines cross, two angles that are vertical two one another are equal.
  • They are know as vertically opposite angles.
  • When two straight lines cross each other, four angles are produced.
  • The two vertically opposite have the same values.

Ellie drew ΔLMN, in which m∠LMN = 90°. She then drew ΔPQR, which was a dilation of ΔLMN by a scale factor of one half from the c
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

m∠P ≅ m∠L; this can be confirmed by translating point P to point L.

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle angle (AA) similarity postulate state that two triangles are similar if two of their corresponding angle is similar. The corresponding angle for each point of the triangles will be:

∠L=∠P

∠Q=∠M

∠N=∠R

Since the 2nd triangle made from dilation, it should maintain its orientation.

Option 1 is true, ∠P corresponds to ∠L. If you move/translate point P to point L, you can confirm it because their orientation is the same.

Option 2 is false, the triangle will be similar if ∠P=∠N but you can't confirm it with translation alone.

Option 3 and 4 definitely wrong because it speaking about length, not the angle.
