1 answer:

4 0

The answer is a repeating decimal of 13.888... round accordingly.

Set up the proportion 5/18 = x/50 18x=250 Solve for x

Maslowich

Answer:

$n = 4$

$x = 2$

$p = 38\%$

$q = 62\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

Find n, x, p and q

n always represent the population surveyed;

So:

$n = 4$

x represents the sample from the population

So:

$x = 2$

p always represents the given proportion

$p = 38\%$

Solving for q

$p + q = 1$

$q = 1 - p$

$q = 1 - 38\%$

$q = 62\%$

The cost of painting the total outside surface of a closed cylindrical tank at 60 paise per meter squae is Rs237.60. The height

valkas [14]

Answer:

$volume=509.25 dm^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Curved surface area= $\frac {237.6}{0.6}=396 dm^{2}=2\pi R(R+H)$ where R is radius and H is height

Since H=6R then curved surface area= $2\pi R(R+6R)=14\pi R^{2}$

Therefore,

$396 dm^{2}=14\pi R^{2}$ and making R the subject

$R=\sqrt {\frac {396}{14\pi}}=\sqrt {(9.003622)}= 3.000604 m$

Therefore, H=6R=6*3.000604=18.00362 m

$Volume=\pi R^{2}H=\pi*3.000604^{2}*18.00362=509.2453 dm^{3}$

Therefore, $volume=509.25 dm^{3}$

explain how proving two triangles congruent can help prove parts of the triangle congruent will do branliest

AleksAgata [21]

How many facts does it take to make triangles congruent? Only 3 if they are the right three and the parts are located in the right place.

SAS where 2 sides make up one of the three angles of a triangle. The angle must between the 2 sides.

ASA where the S (side) is common to both the two given angles.

SSS where all three sides of one triangle are the same as all three sides of a second triangle. This one is my favorite. It has no exceptions.

In one very special case, you need only 2 facts, but that case is very special and it really is one of the cases above.

If you are working with a right angle triangle, you can get away with being given the hypotenuse and one of the sides. So you only need 2 facts. It is called the HL theorem. But that is a special case of SSS. The third side can be found from a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

You can also use the two sides making up the right angle but that is a special case of SAS.

Answer

There 6 parts to every triangle: 3 sides and 3 angles. If you show congruency, using any of the 3 facts above, you can conclude that the other 3 parts of the triangle are congruent as well as the three that you have.

Geometry is built on that wonderfully simple premise and it is your introduction to what makes a proof. So it's important that you understand how proving parts of congruent triangles work.

(0.4y - 3)/(1.5y + 9) = -7/5

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

y = -3.84.

Step-by-step explanation:

(0.4y - 3)/(1.5y + 9) = -7/5

Cross multiply:

2y - 15 = -10.5y - 63

12.5y = -48

y = -3.84
