Answer:

Hence, option A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the fact such that ΔRST and ΔWXY are congruent.

Since, we are given: ∠T ≅ ∠Y and RT ≅ WY.

we are given the following assumptions:

∠W = x + 5

∠X = 3x - 9

∠Y = 2x + 4

as we are given one angle congruent and one side congruent so in order to prove two triangles are congruent we just need to show that one more pair of angles are congruent.

so from the two triangle we could have that ∠W≅∠R

and ∠X≅∠S

Now we will go by options:

if ∠S=2x+20 then as ∠X≅∠S.

3x-9=2x+20

x=29

∠S=∠W=78°.

if ∠R = 2x + 20 then as ∠W≅∠R

⇒ x+5=2x+20

⇒ x= -15 which is not possible as it will make measure of angle W negative (x+5= -15+5= -10)

if ∠S=2x^2+5 then as ∠X≅∠S.

⇒ 3x-9=2x^2+5

⇒ 2x^2-3x+14=0

on solving this quadratic equation we will get complex zeros.

Hence, option (C) is not correct.

if ∠R = 2x

+ 5 then as ∠W≅∠R.

⇒ x+5=

+ 5

⇒ 2x^2-x=0

⇒ x(2x-1)=0

either x=0 or x=1/2 which is not possible.

because by putting this x value in all the angles we see that sum of all the angles of a triangle is not equal to 180°

Hence, option D is not possible.

Hence, option A is correct.

Carl is raising money for his football team. He is selling chocolate bars for $1.50 each and cookies for $2. He sold all 20 of h

stich3 [128]

Answer:

Carl has to sell at least $8$ cookies.

$c\geq 7.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Carl gets $\$1.50$ by selling 1 chocolate bar.

Earning from chocolate bars:

$Total\ chocolate\ bar=20\\\\Earning\ from\ one\ chocolate\ bar=\$1.50\\\\Total\ earning\ from\ chocolate\ bar=Total\ chocolate\ bar\times cost\ of\ 1\ chocolate\ bar=20\times 1.5=\$30$

Earning From cookies:

$Let\ total\ number\ of\ cookies=c\\\\Cost\ of\ 1\ cookie=\$2\\\\Earning\ from\ cookies=2\times c=2c$

$Total\ earning=Earning\ from\ cookies+Earning\ from\ cookies+Earning\ from\ chocolate\ bars\\\\Total\ earning=30+2c$

Carl wants to raise at least $\$55$

$Total\ earning\geq 55\\\\2c+30\geq 55\\\\2c\geq 55-30\\\\2c\geq 15\\\\c\geq7.5$

The area of a room is 600 square feet. The length is (x+2) feet and the width is (x+3) feet. Find the dimensions of the room

m_a_m_a [10]

Create an equation using the formula for area of a rectangle; area = width * length
(X + 2)(x + 3) = 600
Multiply the dimensions.
X^2 + 3x + 2x +6 = 600, or simplified x^2 +5x + 6 = 600.
Subtract 600 to get the following:
X^2 + 5x - 594 = 0
Factor by x:
(X - 22)(x + 27) = 0
Solve for x
X - 22 = 0
X = 22.
Use the POSITIVE VALUE of x as you can’t have a negative area for a room.
Then substitute 22 for x to get the dimensions
(22+ 2) or 24 for length and (22+3) or 25 for width.

2. Maria is monitoring the temperature of

stiks02 [169]

Here, we are required to determine after how many minutes will the two substances be at the same temperature.

The equation of when the two substances will be at the same temperature and the solution are as follows;

(a) The equation is 96.2 + 1.5(x) = 98.5 + 0.8(x).

(b) The solution is, x = 3.285minutes.

For substance A which is currently at 96.2° and rising at 1.5° each minute; It's temperature after x minutes is given as;

T(a) = 96.2 + 1.5(x)

For substance B which is currently at 98.5° and rising at 0.8° each minute; It's temperature after x minutes is given as;

T(b) = 98.5 + 0.8(x)

(a) For the two substances to be at the same temperature; T(a) must be equal to T(b).

T(a) = T(b)

The equation is therefore;.

96.2 + 1.5(x) = 98.5 + 0.8(x)

(b) To determine the solution;

1.5x - 0.8x = 98.5 - 96.2

0.7x = 2.3

x = 2.3/0.7

x = 3.285minutes.

Based on the results from part C, which two statements correctly interpret actions the business should take? If material 2 is us

Serjik [45]

The profit function is the difference between the cost and the revenue functions.

The true statement is (a) If material 2 is used, Carrie will earn a profit if she sells chairs for more than $150 each.

<h3>How to determine the true profit functions</h3>

From the complete questions, the profit functions are calculated as follows:

<u>Material 1</u>

$P(x) = 5000000- 20000x - 200000x + 2000x^2$

$P(x) = 5000000-220000x + 2000x^2$

<u>Material 2</u>

$P(x) = 4000000 - 10000x - 160000x+ 1000x^2$

$P(x) = 4000000-170000x+ 1000x^2$

<u>Material 3</u>

$P(x) = 2000000 - 5000x - 54000x - 270x^2$

$P(x) = 2000000 -59000x - 270x^2$

Next, we test the options

Option 1: When material 2 is used

A price is greater than $150 is $151.

Calculate P(151) using $P(x) = 4000000-170000x+ 1000x^2$

So, we have:

$P(151) = 4000000-170000 * 151+ 1000* 151^2$

$P(151) = 1131000$

P(151) is greater than 0; this represents a profit

Hence, option (1) is true

Option 2: When material 1 is used

A price is less than $50 is $49.

Calculate P(49) using $P(x) = 5000000-220000x + 2000x^2$

So, we have:

$P(49) = 5000000-220000 * 49 + 2000* 49^2$

$P(49) =-978000$

P(49) is less than 0; this represents loss

Hence, option (2) is false

Option 3: When material 3 is used

Calculate P(45) and P(160) using $P(x) = 2000000 -59000x - 270x^2$

So, we have:

$P(45) = 2000000 -59000 * 45 - 270 * 45^2$

$P(45) = -1201750$

P(45) is less than 0; this represents loss

Hence, option (3) is false

Option 1: When material 2 is used

Calculate P(30) and P(120) using $P(x) = 4000000-170000x+ 1000x^2$

So, we have:

$P(30) = 4000000-170000*30+ 1000*30^2$

$P(30) = -200000$

P(30) is less than 0; this represents a loss

Hence, option (4) is false

Option 2: When material 1 is used

Calculate P(40) and P(70) using $P(x) = 5000000-220000x + 2000x^2$

So, we have:

$P(40) = 5000000-220000*40 + 2000*40^2$

$P(40) = -600000$

P(49) is less than 0; this represents loss

Hence, option (5) is false

The above means that:

The true statement is (a) If material 2 is used, Carrie will earn a profit if she sells chairs for more than $150 each.
