Hey there!

Answer:

CD = 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar, we can set up a ratio to determine the other side-lengths:

\frac{12-x}{18} =\frac{x}{6}

Cross multiply:

6(12-x) = 18x

Distribute the '6':

72-6x = 18x

Combine like terms and simplify:

72 = 24x

x = 3

Therefore, the length of CD is 3.

Drag the expressions to show the order of their quotients from least to greatest
Damm [24]

Answer:

by solving the divisions

Step-by-step explanation:

  • 8/9 ÷ 7/11 = 8/9 × 11/7 = 88/63 = 1.40
  • 19/12 ÷ 3/10 = 19/12 × 10/3 =190/36 = 5.28
  • 19/12 ÷ 1/15 = 19/12 × 15 = 285/12 = 23.75

8/9 ÷ 3/10 = 8/9 × 10/3 = 80/27 = 2.96.

now from the solutions you can get the least to greatest

1.40 , 2.96, 5.28 and 23.75

After getting answer in decimal form change it to fraction like how they set the question

Rina is making a nut mixture to sell at the local farmers' market. She mixes 6 pounds of pecans with a nut mixture that is 70% p
Marat540 [252]
So the best way to do these is concentration1 (%) × volume1 = concentration2 × volume2
Or C1V1 + C2V2 = C3V3, where C1 = 100% (bc ALL pecans), V1 = 6 lbs, C2 = 70%, C3 = 82%:
100%×6 + 70%×v2 = 82%×(6+v2)
100%=1.00, 70%=.7, 82%=.82
note: if none is poured out then v3 = v1+v2
6 + .7v2 = .82 (6+v2)
6 + .7v2 = 4.92 + .82v2
6 + .7v2 -.7v2 = 4.92 + .82v2 -.7v2
6 = 4.92 + .12v2
6-4.92 = 4.92-4.92 + .12v2
1.08 = .12v2
.12v2/.12 = 1.08/.12
v2 = 9 lbs
that's only v2!!!

For the final poundage, we need v3:

v3 = 6 + v2 = 6 + 9 = 15 lbs

Help solve 4 and 5 please
Sloan [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4). a). If the diagonals of a parallelogram are congruent, then it must be a RECTANGLE.

b). If the diagonals of a parallelogram are perpendicular, then it must be a SQUARE.

c). If the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect the angles of the parallelogram, then it must be a RHOMBUS.

d). If the diagonals of a parallelogram are perpendicular and congruent, then it must be a SQUARE.

e). If a parallelogram has four congruent sides, then it must be a SQUARE.

5). Given quadrilateral SELF is a rhombus.

a). All sides of a rhombus are equal,

   Therefore, ES = EL = 25

b). Diagonals of a rhombus bisects the opposite angles,

   Therefore, m∠ELS = m∠FLS

    3x - 2 = 2x + 7

    3x - 2x = 7 + 2

    x = 9

c). Diagonals of the rhombus bisect the opposite angles, and adjacent angles are supplementary.

m∠ELF = 2(m∠ELS) = 2(2y - 9)

m∠LES = 2(m∠LEF) = 2(3y + 9)

And 2(2y - 9) + 2(3y + 9) = 180

(2y - 9) + (3y + 9) = 90

5y = 90

y = 18

A movie theater just opened 2 new theaters. One theater has 15 seats in each row. The second theater has 20 seats in each row. B
Lana71 [14]
15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 105, 120, 135, 150
20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 140, 160, 180, 200

Smallest number would be 60 because it’s the least common number in both theaters.

Let me know if I’m right,
