The Italian size of a suit jacket is N centimeters, where N is the linear distance between the armpits. The American size of a s

uit jacket is 2.5P centimeters, where 2.5P is twice the linear distance between the armpits. If, for a particular jacket, N = P + 10, which of the following is closest to the value of N? (One inch is approximately 2.54 centimeters.)
A) 36B) 47C) 58D) 65E) 72

Answer:

  B)  47

Step-by-step explanation:

If we assume the 2.5P is more accurately 2.54P, then we have two relations between N and P:

  • 2.54P = 2N
  • N = P +10

Solving the second for P gives ...

   P = N -10

and substituting that into the first gives ...

  2.54(N -10) = 2N

  0.54N -25.4 = 0 . . . . . . subtract 2N

  N -47.037... = 0 . . . . . . .divide by 0.54

  N ≈ 47 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 47.037... and round

The closest value of N is 47.

_____

<em>Comment on the problem</em>

If you take the problem at face value, you compute N=50. The closest offered answer is still 47. In this scenario, the relationship between inches and centimeters is irrelevant, as there are no inches anywhere in the problem.

The perimeter of a right triangle is 60 feet and the area is 150 square feet. If the lengths of the sides of the triangle are ea
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

B. 600 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the Perimeter of a right triangle = Side a + Side b + Side c

The perimeter of a right triangle is 60 feet

If the lengths of the sides of the triangle are each multiplied by 10, what is the perimeter of the new right triangle?

Hence, the perimeter of the new right triangle = 10 × 60ft

= 600ft

Option B is the correct Option.

Find an equation of the circle and sketch it if it has: Center on y=4, tangent x-axis at (–2, 0)
Digiron [165]

Answer:

(x+2)^2+(y-4)^2=16

OK, lets start by drawing a basic graph (the first one) so we can visualize.

We already know that the y coordinate of the circle's center is 4.

We know that the circle is tangent to the X axis at (-2,0)

That means the x coordinate of the center has to be -2, as the tangent is a point on the edge of the circle that touches a line at exactly one point.

The radius is the distance from the center of the circle to its edge. We know the center's location now, it is (-2, 4) and a point on the edge of the circle (the tangent point) which is (-2,0). so the distance between the points is 4 which is the radius (you can use the distance formula, but it's quite oblivious.)

We can imagine the circle should look like this (the second one):

Now we can piece together an equation

The equation of a circle is (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2 where (h,k) is the center and r is the radius. When we put the numbers in: we get (x-(-2))^2+(y-(4))^2=4^2 which can be simplified into (x+2)^2+(y-4)^2=16 which is the answer.
