Jerry hiked along a path. From his starting position, he hiked downhill to a valley where the elevation dropped 25 meters below

his starting position. Then, he hiked up to a hill that was 40 meters higher than the valley. The following equation describes this situation. -25 + 40 = 15. What does 15 tell us?

Answer:

15 represents that Jerry hiked up 15 meters from his starting position.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that Jerry hiked downhill to a valley where the elevation dropped 25 meters below his starting position. Then, he hiked up to a hill that was 40 meters higher than the valley.

Hiked downhill = 25 meters

Hiked up = 40 meters

The given equation is

-25+40=15

Here, hiked downhill represented by negative sign and hiked up represents by positive sign.

So, positive 15 represents that Jerry hiked up 15 meters from his starting position.

Can someone tell me if i did this right? im also not sure which one is the scale factor.

If you are moving the center of circle 2 to the the center of circle 1, then the translation rule is (x,y) ---> (x+4, y+10). 
Note how x = 1 turns into x = 5. So we add 4
Also, y = -2 turns into y = 8. We add 10

The scale factor to turn the radius r = 4 into r = 8 is 2. Basically we double the radius. We can divide the two radii to see 8/4 = 2

----------------------------------

Summary:
To go from circle 2 to circle 1, we apply these two transformations
translation: (x,y) ---> (x+4, y+10)
dilation: scale factor 2

note: 
if you want to go backwards, go from circle 1 to circle 2, then undo the transformations above

The following figure shows A ABC with side lengths to the nearest tenth.
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

17.7

Step-by-step explanation:

angle B = 180 - 81 - 65 = 34 degrees

as the sum of all angles in any triangle is always 180 degrees.

a/sin(A) = b/sin(B) = c/sin(C)

the sides are always on the opposite side of the angle.

so,

10/sin(34) = AB/sin(81)

AB = 10×sin(81) / sin(34) = 17.7

One frame of a film in a projector is about 50 mm high. The film isOne frame of a film in a projector is about 50 mm high. The f
OlgaM077 [116]
The frame of film is actually 50 mm high, but it looks 16 m high on the screen.

Remember that 1 m = 1,000 mm.

So everything looks (16,000)/(50) = <u>320 times</u> as big on the screen
as it is on the film. That's called the scale factor.

The penguin is 35 mm high on the film. He'll look 320 times bigger on the screen.

(320) x (35 mm) = 11,200 mm = <u>11.2 meters</u> high

The experimental probability that Amir will make a basket is 0.4. The experimental probability that Juju will make a basket is 0
madreJ [45]

Answer:

30 baskets

Step-by-step explanation:

The experimental probability Pa that Amir will make a basket is 0.4;

Pa = 0.4

the experimental probability Pj that juju with make the same basket is 0.6;

Pj = 0.6

Total number of shoot Nt = 150

Number of basket Amir will make is;

Na = Pa × Nt

Na = 0.4 × 150

Na = 60 basket

Number of basket juju will make is;

Nj = Pj × Nt

Nj = 0.6 × 150

Nj = 90 basket
