Part 1) Finding x
Note the double tickmarks for segments XY and YZ. This indicates the segments are the same length, which leads to point Y being the midpoint of segment XZ.
Therefore, XZ is twice as long as XY
XZ = 2*( XY )
XZ = 2*( 2x-1 )
XZ = 4x - 2
We also know that XZ = 2(3x-4) = 6x-8. Let's equate 4x-2 and 6x-8 and solve for x
6x-8 = 4x-2
6x-4x = -2+8
2x = 6
x = 6/3
x = 3
<h3>Answer is 3</h3>
=====================================
Part 2) Finding the length of YZ
The resut of part 1 (x = 3) is plugged into the equation for XY to get
XY = 2*x-1
XY = 2*3-1
XY = 6-1
XY = 5
Segment XY is 5 units long. So is segment YZ as these two segments are the same length (aka congruent).
<h3>Answer: 5</h3>
=====================================
Part 3) Finding the length of segment XZ
The answer from the previous part was 5. This doules to 5*2 = 10
-----
A longer way to get the same answer is to plug x = 3 into the XZ equation and we get...
XZ = 2*(3x-4)
XZ = 2*(3*3-4)
XZ = 2*(9-4)
XZ = 2*5
XZ = 10
and we get the same answer
<h3>Answer: 10</h3>
Answer:
B is the answer for sure, because there are two outliers, there is a visible line, and they are not at all clustered around a single point
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>The complete question is</em></u>
RT and GJ are chords that intersect at point H. If RH = 10 units, HT = 16 units, and GH = 8 units, what is the length of line segment HJ? 18 units 20 units 26 units 28 units
we know that
The <u><em>intersecting chords theorem</em></u> is a statement that describes a relation of the four line segments created by two intersecting chords within a circle. It states that the products of the lengths of the line segments on each chord are equal
so
In this problem
substitute the given values
solve for HJ
Answer: Approximately 25187 animals of this species will be left in 2025
Step-by-step explanation:
We would apply the formula for exponential decay which is expressed as
y = b(1 - r)^x
Where
y represents the population of animals after x years.
x represents the number of years.
b represents the initial population of animals.
r represents rate of decay.
From the information given,
b = 200000
r = 4.5% = 4.5/100 = 0.045
x = 2025 - 1980 = 45 years
Therefore,
y = 200000(1 - 0.045)^45
y = 200000(0.955)^45
y = 25187
