Answer:

C. 60 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

If triangles ABC and EDC are in a 1:1 relation, they are congruent, and  

    AC = EC

5x - 5 = 3x + 9

    5x = 3x + 14

    2x = 14

      x = 7

AC = 5x + 5 = 5(7) - 5 = 35 - 5 = 30 ft

EC = 3x + 9 = 3(7) + 9 = 21 + 9 = 30 ft

Distance between top and bottom of bridge = AC + EC = 30 + 30 = 60 ft

jen uses 8.2 of blue paint and white paint to paint her bedroom walls. 4/5ths of this amount is blue paint, and the rest is whit
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

The amount of white paint Jen used to paint the walls in her room is:

  • <u>1.64 pints.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the exercise you only have to pay attention to the statement, in the section that says that 4/5 parts of the total painting is blue, therefore, if 1 is the total painting, you must do a subtraction:

  • 1 - 4/5 = 1/5

Since the remaining white paint is 1/5 of the total, you have two ways to solve the exercise: multiply the total paint (8.2 pints) by 1/5 or divide the number by 5, as shown below:

  • <u>Amount of white paint = 8.2 pints * (1/5) = 1.64 pints. </u>
  • <u>Amount of white paint = 8.2 pints / 5 = 1.64 pints. </u>

As you can see, the two methods provide a <u>value of 1.64 pints, which corresponds to 1/5 of the total paint and is the amount of white paint used</u>.

Use the Binomial Theorem to expand the binomial.
Artist 52 [7]
<h3><u>d^3 - 4bd^2 + 16b^2d - 64d^3 is the expanded binomial.</u></h3>

The binomial theorem involves Pascal's triangle, and essentially gives you the coefficients for the formula you're going to use to expand it.

In this case, the coefficients will be 1, 3, 3, and 1.


We can set up our formula like this:

(a + (-b)) = a^3 + a^2b + ab^2 + b^3

Now we can just plug in our values:

(d + (-4b))^3 = d^3 + d^2(-4b) + d(-4b)^2 + (-4b)^3

Now, we can simplify the equation.

(d + (-4b))^3 = d^3 - 4bd^2 + 16b^2d - 64d^3
