Answer:

New cost of the sweater is $ 31.5 .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

A wool sweater originally costs $42.00.

If the sweater is on sale for 25% off .

25% is written in the decimal form

$=\frac{25}{100}$

= 0.25

Thus

off on a wool sweater = 0.25 × Originally costs of a wool sweater

= 0.25 × $42

= $ 10.5

Thus

New cost of the sweater = Originally costs of a wool sweater - off on a wool sweater.

Put all the values in the above

New cost of the sweater = $42 - $10.5

= $ 31.5

Therefore new cost of the sweater is $ 31.5 .

A cone has a volume of 5 cubic inches. What is the volume of a cylinder that the cone fits exactly inside of?

DENIUS [597]

The answer is 15 in³.

The volume of the cone is:
$V_1= \pi r_1 ^{2} \frac{h_1}{3} = \frac{ \pi r_1^{2} h_1}{3}$
where:
V₁ - the volume of the cone
r₁ - the radius of the cone
h₁ - the height of the cone

The volume of the cylinder is:
$V_2= \pi r_2h_2^{2}$
where:
V₂ - the volume of the cone
r₂ - the radius of the cone
h₂ - the height of the cone

Since <span>the cone fits exactly inside of the cylinder, they have the same radius and the height:
r</span>₁ = r₂
h₁ = h₂

Also:
V₁ = 5

Now, let's write two volume formulas together:
$V_1= \frac{ \pi r^{2} h}{3}$
<span> $V_2= \pi rh^{2}$ </span>

We can include V₂ into V₁:
$V_1= \frac{V_2}{3}$

⇒ $V_2=3*V_1$
$V_2=3*5 in^{3}$
$V_2=15 in^{3}$

An angle measures 14° more than the measure of its supplementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?

luda_lava [24]

Answer:83 and 97

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the angle be y

The second angle will be y+14

A supplementary angle equals 180°

y + y + 14=180

2y+14=180

2y=180-14

2y=166

y=166/2

y=83

The first angle is 83.

Second angle will be 83+14=97.

Please help me answer this with an explanation

Nata [24]

You need to find the slope first. (-9,-4). (3,4)

-4-4= -8
-9-3 =-12. Slope is -8/-12 or 8/12 or 2/3

Perpendicular is the negative reciprocal. Or flip over the 2/3 and make it negative.

The answer is - 3/2

This is what I am supposed to do, I’m confused on what to do on 3,4, and 5. PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!!!! 30 POINTS!!!!!

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

To calculate m use the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

Using (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 3, 6)

m = $\frac{6-0}{-3-0}$ = $\frac{6}{-3}$ = - 2

Since the line passes through the origin (0, 0) then y- intercept is 0

y = - 2x ← equation of line

let (x₁, y₁ ) = (6, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, 3)

m = $\frac{3-0}{0-6}$ = $\frac{3}{-6}$ = - $\frac{1}{2}$

note the line crosses the y- axis at (0, 3) ⇒ c = 3

y = - $\frac{1}{2}$ x + 3 ← equation of line

let (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (-2, - 3)

m = $\frac{-3-3}{-2-0}$ = $\frac{-6}{-2}$ = 3

note the line crosses the y- axis at (0, 3) ⇒ c = 3

y = 3x + 3 ← equation of line

Solve for x thanks .

OleMash [197]

Answer:

x = 3.87

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the right angle altitude theorem, we know that all three triangles are congruent, so the lengths of corresponding sides of the triangles are in proportion..

AD/DB = DB/DC

15/x = x/1

x² = 15

x = √15

x = 3.87
