In cross country, the team score is determined by the place each individual runner finishes. (For example, 1st place is one poin

t, 16th place is 16 points, etc.) In their latest meet, the boys cross-country team scored 55 points. If there were five runners on the team and each runner finished one after another, what places did they come on? Explain your reasoning and support your answer. *

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there were five rummers in the team;

Each runner finished one after the other

Total. Points scored =. 55

Let the positions of each runner be :

1sr runner = p

2nd runner =.p + 1

3rd runner =.p + 2

4th runner =.p + 3

5th runner =.p + 4

(1st + 2nd + 3rd + 4th +. 5th) runner = 55

(p + p + 1 + p + 2 + p + 3 + p + 4) = 55

5p + 10 = 55

5p = 55 - 10

5p = 45

p = 9

Hence,

1st runner = 9th

2nd runner = 9 + 1 = 10th

3rd runner = 9 + 2 = 11th

4th runner = 9 + 3 = 12th

5th runner = 9+ 4 = 13th

Find the area of the rhombus. 
Inessa [10]

A=24


Find the area by multiplying both diagonals and dividing them by 2. Like so: And you might be wondering how to do that. By using the pythagorean theorem and some simple addition, you could get the answer. One diagonal is 8 and the other is 6....so, 8x6=48....48/2=24

First we need to establish the fact that angles on a straight line ALWYS add up to 180
So, we solve the equation for x which turns out to be 3
But,were not done. The question asks us to find the value of the angle BOC
so we substitute the value of x into the equation for BOC (which is 6x+29)
And then your answer is 47 degrees

Consider this function. f(x)-3x+3. Which graph represents the inverse of function f?
Kamila [148]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  graph Y

Step-by-step explanation:

The inverse function can be found by solving ...

  x = f(y)

  x = -3y +3

  x -3 = -3y . . . . . subtract 3; next, divide by -3

  y = -1/3x +1 . . . . . matches graph Y

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

Writing the original equation in standard form can help you see its intercepts.

  3x +y = 3

  3x = 3   ⇒   x = 1 . . . . x-intercept (at y=0)

  y = 3   . . . . y-intercept (at x=0)

The inverse function has the x- and y-intercepts swapped, so you're looking for a line through (0, 1) and (3, 0). The lower left graph (Y) is that graph.

The venticles of a right angle are a[0,4], b[3,-2] c[-3, -4] Find It's area.​
givi [52]

Answer:

The area of this triangle is about 21.2132 square units.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the lengths of the legs AB and BC.

Length of AB ===

Find the difference in position vertically:

-2-4=-6

The points are 6 units apart vertically.

Find the difference in position horizontally:

3-0=3

The points are 3 units apart horizontally.

These lengths form a right triangle with the distance between the points as the hypotenuse, so you can use the pythagorean theorem to solve:

a^2+b^2=c^2\\3^2+6^2=c^2\\9+36=c^2\\45=c^2\\c\approx6.7082

AB is about 6.7082 units long.

Length of BC ===

Same process as above.

Find the vertical distance:

-4--2=-2

2 units apart vertically.

Find the horizontal distance:

-3-3=-6

6 units apart horizontally.

Use the pythagorean theorem:

2^2+6^2=c^2\\4+36=c^2\\40=c^2\\c=6.3246

BC is about 6.3246 units long.

Area ===

Finally, you can use these to find the area of the triangle. The area of a right triangle is just half the area of a rectangle with the same base and height:

A=\frac{b\times h}{2}\\\\A=\frac{6.7082\times6.3246}{2}\\\\A=\frac{42.4264}{2}\\\\A=21.2132

The area of this triangle is about 21.2132 square units.
