Ms. Lee wrote a test with 15 multiple choice short answer questions. The multiple choice questions x are worth 5 points and the

short answer questions x are worth 10 points. The maximum number of points possible on the test is 100. Write a system of liner equations to represent this situation.

x + y = 15 and 5x + 10y = 100 are the system of equations that represent this situation

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "x" be the number of multiple choice questions

Let "y" be the number of short answer questions

Worth of 1 multiple choice questions = 5 points

Worth of 1 short answer question = 10 points

<em><u>Ms. Lee wrote a test with 15 multiple choice short answer questions</u></em>

Therefore,

number of multiple choice questions + number of short answer questions = 15

x + y = 15 -------- eqn 1

<em><u>The maximum number of points possible on the test is 100</u></em>

Therefore, we frame a equation as:

number of multiple choice questions x Worth of 1 multiple choice questions + number of short answer questions x Worth of 1 short answer question = 100

x \times 5 + y \times 10=100

5x + 10y = 100 ------- eqn 2

Thus eqn 1 and eqn 2 are the system of equations that represent this situation

A cube, is made off 6 squarial faces, so all faces on that cube, are squares, the front, back, left, right, top and bottom.

a square has all equal sides, and also all right angles, so all angles in a square are 90°.  Let's say the sides are "x" long.

now, if we run a plane on that cube diagonally, check the picture below, the diagonal side at the bottom, by usin the 45-45-90 rule as you see it there, will be x√2.

let's keep in mind that, "x" is opposite side of that angle θ, and then x√2 will be the adjacent side of it.

and we can use those two to get the tangent and then the inverse tangent to get the value, as you see it in the picture.

if you need the angle in radians, run the inverse tangent again, just make sure your calculator is in radians mode.

Two sides of an acute triangle measure 5 inches and 8 inches. The length of the longest side is unknown/ What is the greatest po

The Triangle inequality theorem of a triangle says that the sum of any of the two sides of a triangle is always greater than the third side. The correct option is C.

<h3>What is the triangle inequality theorem?</h3>

The Triangle inequality theorem of a triangle says that the sum of any of the two sides of a triangle is always greater than the third side.

Suppose a, b and c are the three sides of a triangle. Thus according to this theorem,

 (a+b) > c\\(b+c) > a\\(c+a) > b

Given the length of the two sides of the triangle, therefore, we can write the inequalities,

8 + 5 > x  ⇒   13 > x

8 + x > 5  ⇒  x > - 3

5 + x > 8  ⇒  x > 3

Now, as per the inequality the value of x can lie between 3 to 13, but as the side needs to be greatest, therefore, the value of x will be 12.

Hence, the correct option is C.
