To answer, determine the amount of paint that is needed in order to cover the whole of the sign. If we use the ratio and proportion and letting x be the unknown amount. The equation would be,
                          1/2  / 1/3 = x / 1
The value of x from the equation is equal to 1.5. Thus, the answer is letter D. 3/2 cups.

PART A: Mrs. konsdorf claims that angle R is a right angle.Is Mrs. konsdorf correct? explain your reasoning PART B: if T is trab
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

Part A: Angle R is not a right angle.

Part B; Angle GRT' is a right angle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

From the given figure it is noticed that the vertices of the triangle are G(-6,5), R(-3,1) and T(2,6).

Slope formula

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

The product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1.

Slope of GR is

\text{Slope of GR}=\frac{1-5}{-3-(-6)}=\frac{-4}{3}

Slope of RT is

\text{Slope of RT}=\frac{6-1}{2-(-3)}=\frac{5}{5}=1

Product of slopes of GR and RT is

\frac{-4}{3}\times 1=\frac{-4}{3}\neq -1

Therefore lines GR and RT are not perpendicular to each other and angle R is not a right angle.

Part B:

If vertex T translated by rule

(x,y)\rightarrow(x-1,y-2)

Then the coordinates of T' are

(2,6)\rightarrow(2-1,6-2)

(2,6)\rightarrow(1,4)

Slope of RT' is

\text{Slope of RT'}=\frac{4-1}{1-(-3)}=\frac{3}{4}

Product of slopes of GR and RT' is

\frac{-4}{3}\times \frac{3}{4}=-1

Since the product of slopes is -1, therefore the lines GR and RT' are perpendicular to each other and angle GRT' is a right angle.

if PQ || RS and the slope of PQ= x-1/4 and the slope of RS is 3/8 then find the value of x justify algebraically and numerically
Artemon [7]

The value of x is 5/8.

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:

Given,

  • The lines PQ and RS are parallel to each other.
  • slope of PQ= x-1/4
  • slope of RS = 3/8

The slopes of parallel lines are equal.

slope of PQ = slope of RS

⇒ x-1/4 = 3/8

⇒ (4x-1)/4 = 3/8

⇒ 8(4x-1) = 4(3)

⇒ 32x-8 = 12

⇒ 32x = 20

x = 20/32

x = 5/8

A board 1.2 m long is cut into two so that the length of the longer piece is 15cm longer than twice the length of the shortest p
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

The length of the shorter piece=0.35 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the lengths be as follow;

Shorter piece=x

Longer piece=15 cm longer than twice shorter piece(x)

Since 1 m=100 cm, 15 cm=15/100=0.15 m

Longer piece= (2×x)+0.15=2x+0.15

Total length=1.2 m

Total length=shorter piece+longer piece

Replacing;

1.2=x+2x+0.15

3x=1.2-0.15

3x=1.05

x=(1.05/3)=0.35

The length of the shorter piece=x=0.35
