Answer: 48 units

Given,
ABCD is a parallelogram
The diagonals bisect at E
Line segment AE = t + 2
Line segment CE = 3t – 14
Line segment DE = 2t + 8

Line segment DB is unknown

Since ABCD is a Parallelogram, Midpoint AC = Midpoint DB
The midpoint is E
Therefore
AE = CE                … (Equation I)
DE = BE                … (Equation II)

DB = DE + BE
Since DE = BE (Equation II),
DB = 2DE = 2BE

Given, DE = 2t + 8
DB = 2(2t + 8)
DB = 4t + 16        … (Equation III)

To solve for the value of ‘t’
AE = CE                … (Equation I)
Line segment AE = t + 2
Line segment CE = 3t – 14
Therefore, t + 2 = 3t – 14


Subtract t from both sides of the equation
3t – 14 – t = t + 2 – t
2t – 14 = 2

Add 14 to both sides of the equation
2t – 14 + 14 = 2 + 14
2t = 16
t = 8

Substitute 8 for t in Equation III to solve for the length of line segment DB
DB = 4t + 16        … (Equation III)
DB = (4*8) + 16
DB = 32 + 16
DB = 48

Therefore, the length of line segment DB is 48 units

N is the number of the Tshirt
c is the cost
the relationship between the cost and the number of the Tshirt is:
12n+3=c
so if 1 is the number of the tshirt so the cost is
12.1+3=12+3=15
if n=2 c=12.2+3=24+3=27
and etc.....

HELP URGENT PLEASE

Answer:

A)

15 hours

B)

108 hours

C)

2074.29 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Under the assumption the earth is a perfect circle, then in one complete rotation about its axis ( 24 hours) the Earth will cover 360 degrees or 2π radians.

A)

In every 24 hours the earth rotates through 360 degrees ( a complete rotation). We are required to determine the length of time it will take the Earth to rotate through 225 degrees. Let x be the duration it takes the earth to rotate through 225 degrees, then the following proportions hold;

(24/360) = (x/225)

solving for x;

x = (24/360) * 225 = 15 hours

B)

In 24 hours the earth rotates through an angle of 2π radians (a complete rotation) . We are required to determine the length of time it will take the Earth to rotate through 9π radians. Let x be the duration it takes the earth to rotate through 9π radians, then the following proportions hold;

(24/2π radians) = (x/9π radians)

Solving for x;

x = (24/2π radians)*9π radians = 108 hours

C)

If the diameter of the earth is 7920 miles, then in a day or 24 hours a point on the equator will rotate through a distance equal to the circumference of the Earth. Using the formula for the circumference of a circle;

circumference = 2*π*R = π*D

                         = 7920*3.142

                         = 24891.43 miles

Therefore a point on the equator covers a distance of 24891.43 miles in 24 hours. This will imply that the speed of the earth is approximately;

(24891.43miles)/(24 hours) = 1037.14 miles/hr

The distance covered by the point in 2 hours will thus be;

1037.14 * 2 = 2074.29 miles
