Answer:

No solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two equations are 2x+4y= -8 and 4x+8y= 5

These two lines are parallel They don't have a solution because they do not meet .

Multiply the first equation by 2 we get 4x+8y = -16

the other equation is 4x+8y= 5 clearly these two are parallel .

To prove by elimination method we have subtract those two equations we get 21≠0 which is not possible.

Therefore there is no solution to the given set of equation.

How do I find the arc length with given radius & central angel?

ella [17]

The length of an arc subtended by a central angle is proportional to the circle's circumference. If the given central angle has measure $\theta$ and the circle has radius $r$ , then the arc has length $\ell$ such that

$\dfrac{\ell}\theta=\dfrac{2\pi r}{2\pi}=r$

where $\theta$ is given in radians. Then

$\ell=r\theta$

If $\theta$ is given in degrees, then

$\dfrac{\ell}\theta=\dfrac{2\pi r}{360}\implies\ell=\dfrac{\theta\pi r}{180}$

The triangles are similar. If KL = 5, JL = 6, and PM = 9, find PN. Round to the nearest tenth.

Pachacha [2.7K]

If the triangles are similar, then the corresponding ratio of their sides have equal ratios. Through ratio and proportion, we would determine the answer.

5/6 = x/9, where x is the length for side PN

Transposing the equation so that x is on the left side:

x = (5/6)*9
x = 7.5
