The largest group that can go to the zoo is 23 members

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

  • A zoo charges an admission price of $85 for the first 12 members of a group and $6 for each additional member of the group
  • We need to find the largest group that can go to the zoo and spend less than $155 on admission

Assume that the number of members in the group is x

∵ There are x members in the group

∵ The zoo charges an admission price of $85 for the first 12

   members of a group and $6 for each additional member

   of the group

- Take 12 members from x and multiply the rest members by

   6 and then add 85 to the product

∴ The group will spend = 6(x - 12) + 85

∵ The group wants to spend less than 155 to go to the zoo

- use the symbol < between the expression above and 155

∴ 6(x - 12) + 85 < 155

- Simplify the left hand side

∴ 6x - 72 + 85 < 155

- Add like terms in the left hand side

∴ 6x + 13 < 155

- Subtract 13 from both sides

∴ 6x < 142

- Divide both sides by 6

∴ x < 23.67

- Take the largest integer less than 23.67

∵ 23 is the largest integer less than 23.67

∴ The group has 23 members

The largest group that can go to the zoo is 23 members

How do you prove each of the following theorems using either a two-column, paragraph, or flow chart proof?
lilavasa [31]

All the theorems are proved as follows.

<h3>What is a Triangle ?</h3>

A triangle is a polygon with three sides , three vertices and three angles.

1. The Triangle sum Theorem

According to the Triangle Sum Theorem, the sum of a triangle's angles equals 180 degrees.

To create a triangle ABC, starting at point A, move 180 degrees away from A to arrive at point B.

We turn 180 degrees from B to C and 180 degrees from C to return to A, giving a total turn of 360 degrees to arrive to A.

180° - ∠A + 180° - ∠B + 180° - ∠C = 360°

- ∠A - ∠B  - ∠C = 360° - (180°+ 180°+ 180°) = -180°

∠A + ∠B  + ∠C = 180°

(Hence Proved)

2. Isosceles Triangle Theorem

Considering an isosceles triangle ΔABC

with AB = AC, we have by sine rule;

\rm \dfrac{sinA}{BC} =  \dfrac{sinB}{AC} =  \dfrac{sinC}{AB}\\

as AB = AC

sin B = sin C

angle B = angle C

3.Converse of the Isosceles theorem

Consider an isosceles triangle ΔABC with ∠B= ∠C, we have by sine rule;

\rm \dfrac{sinA}{BC} =  \dfrac{sinB}{AC} =  \dfrac{sinC}{AB}\\

as  ∠B= ∠C ,

AB = AC

4. Midsegment of a triangle theorem

It states that the midsegment of two sides of a triangle is equal to (1/2)of the third side parallel to it.

Given triangle ABC with midsegment at D and F of AB and AC respectively, DF is parallel to BC

In ΔABC and ΔADF

∠A ≅ ∠A

BA = 2 × DA, BC = 2 × FA

Hence;

ΔABC ~ ΔADF (SAS similarity)

BA/DA = BC/FA = DF/AC = 2

Hence AC = 2×DF

5.Concurrency of Medians Theorem

A median of a triangle is a segment whose end points are on vertex of the triangle and the middle point of the side ,the medians of a triangle are concurrent and  the point of intersection is inside the triangle known as Centroid .

Consider a triangle ABC , X,Y and Z are the midpoints of the sides

Since the medians bisect the segment AB into AZ + ZB

BC into BX + XB

AC into AY + YC

Where:

AZ = ZB

BX = XB

AY = YC

AZ/ZB = BX/XB = AY/YC = 1

AZ/ZB × BX/XB × AY/YC = 1 and

the median segments AX, BY, and CZ are concurrent (meet at point within the triangle).

What is the solution to Mr. Smith's equation?
taurus [48]

Answer:

39

Step-by-step explanation:

(16-2w)^2 + (3y÷3z)

Let w=5 y=9 and z=3

(16-2*5)^2 + (3*9÷3*3)

PEMDAS says parentheses first

Multiply and divide in the parentheses

(16-10)^2 + (27÷9)

Then add and subtract in the parentheses

(6)^2 + (3)

Now the exponent

36 +3

Please help!!!!!!!!
Lynna [10]

Answer: the number, converted to base 10 is 884

Step-by-step explanation:

The table gives symbols for a base 12 numerical system and it is called Caidoz numbers.

Looking at the table, the corresponding Caidozian number that we considering is 618 to base 12. Converting 618 to base 10, it becomes

8 × 12^0 = 8 × 1 = 8

1 × 12^1 = 1 × 12 = 12

6 × 12^2 = 6 × 144 = 864

Therefore, 618 to base 12 to 618 to base 10 would be

8 + 12 + 864 = 884

a rectangular garden measures 22.7 m by 16.6 m how many meters of fencing materials are needed to enclose it the fencing materia
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

78.6m of fencing

That would cost $982.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter: 2(22.7)+2(16.6)=P

P = 78.6

Cost: 78.6*12.50

C = 982.50
