What is the answer to sketch , draw and construct a segment congruent to RS?

1 answer:

4 0

In geometry, "construct" means do it with a straightedge (not a ruler) and compass.

Here's how you do it:

1. Using the straightedge, draw a line clearly longer than segment RS.

2. Place a dot at one end of the line you drew.

3. Stick the "center" of your compass in the R position of the RS segment.

4. Open the compass so the pencil point passes through the S position. Your compass now marks off segment RS.

5. Without opening or closing the compass, pick it up and stick the center into the dot you made on your new line.

6. Still without opening or closing the compass, make a hash mark that crosses your new line.

7. Place a dot where the hash mark crosses the line. The segment on the new line between the two dots is a segment congruent to RS.

Notice that you didn't use a ruler to measure anything. This is called a "construction" in geometry. It's what the ancient Greeks used to do.

Pete's Convenience Store has a beginning inventory of 12 cans of soup at a cost of $.85 each. During the year, the store purchas

Zepler [3.9K]

A) The number of cans of soup in ending inventory is 19.

B) The cost of the ending inventory under LIFO, FIFO, and the weighted average is as follows:

LIFO $17.15

FIFO $25.65

Weighted average $21.47

<h3>What are the inventory methods?</h3>

The inventory methods include First-in, First-out (FIFO), Last-in, First-out (LIFO), Weighted Average, and Specific Identification.

FIFO assumes that the physical flow of goods during sales follows the chronological sequence of their acquisition.

LIFO assumes that the first goods acquired are the last to be sold.

The Weighted Average uses an average to determine the costs allocated to ending inventory and the cost of goods sold.

Specific Identification identifies the specific goods sold with their costs.

Description Units Unit Cost Total

Beginning inventory 12 $0.85 $10.20

Purchases 4 $0.95 $3.80

Purchases 6 $1.05 $6.30

Purchases 7 $1.35 $9.45

Purchases 8 $1.50 $12.00

Total 37 $41.75

Sales 18

Ending inventory 19 (37 - 18)

Average cost = $1.13 ($41.75/37)

LIFO:

Ending inventory = $17.15 ($10.20 + $3.80 + 3 x $1.05)

FIFO:

Ending inventory = $25.65 (4 x $1.05 + $9.45 + $12.00)

Weighted Average

Ending inventory = $21.47 (19 x $1.13)

Is the relationship shown by the data linear? If so, model the data with an equation.

Harrizon [31]

The correct answer is:

The relationship is linear, and the equation is
y-5 = 2(x+7).

Explanation:

To determine if the relationship is linear, we find the slope between each pair of points. Slope is given by the formula:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

The slope between the first two points is given by:

$m=\frac{9-5}{-5--7}=\frac{9-5}{-5+7}=\frac{4}{2}=2$

The slope between the second pair of points is given by:

$m=\frac{13-9}{-3--5}=\frac{13-9}{-3+5}=\frac{4}{2}=2$

The slope between the third pair of points is given by:

$m=\frac{17-13}{-1--3}=\frac{17-13}{-1+3}=\frac{4}{2}=2$

Since the slope is the same throughout the data, the relationship is linear and the slope is 2.

To write the equation, we use point-slope form, which is:

y-y₁ = m(x-x₁)

Using the first point, we have:

y-5 = 2(x--7)
y-5 = 2(x+7)
