Answer:

$450

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the costs of washer and dryer be x and y dollars respectively.

Therefore, according to the given conditions:

x + y = $856...... (1)

and

x = y - 44.... (2)

From equations (1) & (2)

y - 44 + y = 856

2y = 856 + 44

2y = 900

y = 900/2

y = $450

Thus the cost of dryer is $450.

If 900 is shared in the ratio 8:10,find each shared
kirill [66]

Answer:

400 and 500

Step-by-step explanation:

the ratios are 8:10

total ratio = 8+10 = 18

share for the ratio is 8 = 8/18×900

= 0.444444444×900= 400

therefore, share for the ratio of 8= 400

share for the ratio of 10= 10/18×900

= 0.555555555×900=500

therefore, share for the ratio of 10= 500

A right triangle has legs measuring 4.5 meters and 1.5 meters. The lenghts of the legs of a second triangle are proportional to
Eduardwww [97]
We know that
in the first triangle
the ratio of the legs are
4.5/1.5-----> 3

then
case <span>A) 6 m and 2 m ------> ratio=6/3----> 3
so
</span><span>the legs of a second triangle are proportional to the lengths of the legs of the first triangle

</span>case B) 8 m and 5 m ------> ratio=8/5---->1.6
so
the legs of a second triangle are not proportional to the lengths of the legs of the first triangle

case C) 7 m and 3.5 mm ------> ratio=7/3.5---->2
so
the legs of a second triangle are not proportional to the lengths of the legs of the first triangle


case D) 10 m and 2.5 m ------> ratio=10/2.5---->4
so
the legs of a second triangle are not proportional to the lengths of the legs of the first triangle

case E) 11.25 m and 3.75 m ------> ratio=11.25/3.75---->3
so
the legs of a second triangle are  proportional to the lengths of the legs of the first triangle

the answer is
A) 6 m and 2 m
E) 11.25 m and 3.75 m

Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the missing length in the following right triangle.
lesantik [10]
Hello there!


The Pythagorean Theorem is:

a² + b² = c²

We have b = 48 and c = 50

Remember: The hypotenuse is always longer.

a² + 48² = 50²

a² + 2304 = 2500

a² = 2500 - 2304

a² = 196

a = √196

a = 14

The missing length is 14.

Let me know if you have any questions. As always, it is my pleasure to help students like you!

If f(3)=7 and f(1)=5, what is the function of f(x)?
Alexandra [31]
<span>f(3)=7 and f(1)=5, is just another way to say x = 3 and y = 7, as well as x = 1 and y = 5, which gives us the points of (3,7) and (1,5), so let's use them,

</span>\bf \begin{array}{ccccccccc}&#10;&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\&#10;%  (a,b)&#10;&&(~ 3 &,& 7~) &#10;%  (c,d)&#10;&&(~ 1 &,& 5~)&#10;\end{array}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;% slope  = m&#10;slope =  m\implies &#10;\cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{5-7}{1-3}\implies \cfrac{-2}{-2}\implies 1&#10;\\\\\\&#10;% point-slope intercept&#10;\stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y- y_1= m(x- x_1)}\implies y-7=1(x-3)&#10;\\\\\\&#10;y-7=x-3\implies y=x+4<span>
