The density of gold is 19.3 grams per cubic centimeter. Rachel determines that the density of a coin is 18.7 grams per cubic cen

timeter. Based on this evidence, she concludes that the coin is not gold or at least not entirely gold. Is this an example of inductive or deductive reasoning?​

Answer:

The reasoning is  a deductive.

  The reason is because the pattern of  thought is logical, here, scientific methods ( i.e mathematically obtaining and comparing the density of the coin and the  gold ) are used to support the conclusion.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gnerally the reasoning is  a deductive.

  The reason is because the pattern of  thought is logical and scientific methods (eg mathematical equation (formula for density)) are applied to arrive at the  conclusion.

Through (-1,4) and a perpendicular to 4y-2x=12
mart [117]

Answer:

<h2>y = -2x + 2 → 2x + y = 2</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

\text{The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:}\\\\y=mx+b\\\\m-\text{slope}\\b-\text{y-intercept}\\\\\text{Let}\\\\k:y=m_1x+b_1\\\\l:y=m_2x+b_2\\\\\text{then}\\\\k\ \perp\ l\iff m_1m_2=-1\to m_2=-\dfrac{1}{m_1}\\\\k\ ||\ l\iff m_1=m_2

\text{We have the equation of a line in the standard form:}\ Ax+By=C.\\\\\text{Convert to the slope-intercept form:}\\\\4y-2x=12\qquad\text{add}\ 2x\ \text{to the both sides}\\\\4y-2x+2x=2x+12\\\\4y=2x+12\qquad\text{divide both sides by 4}\\\\\dfrac{4y}{4}=\dfrac{2x}{4}+\dfrac{12}{4}\\\\y=\dfrac{1}{2}x+3\to\boxed{m_1=\dfrac{1}{2}}

\text{Therefore}\ m_2=-\dfrac{1}{\frac{1}{2}}=-2.\\\\\text{Put the value of the slope and the coordinates of the given point (-1, 4)}\\\text{to the equation of a line:}\\\\4=-2(-1)+b\\\\4=2+b\qquad\text{subtract 2 from the both sides}\\\\4-2=2-2+b\\\\2=b\to b=2\\\\\bold{FINALLY:}\ y=-2x+2

\text{Convert to the standard form:}\\\\y=-2x+2\qquad\text{add}\ 2x\ \text{to the both sides}\\\\y+2x=-2x+2x+2\\\\2x+y=2

The height of a triangle is 4 sqrt 3 . What is the perimeter of the equatorial triangle?
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

The perimeter of the equatorial triangle is 24 units

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that,

An equilateral triangle has an height equal to 4 \sqrt{3}

The triangle is shown below

From Triangle ABC in the shown figure AD =4 \sqrt{3}

Let the sides of the equilateral triangle be ‘a’

AB = BC = a

Since, it is an equilateral triangle we get,

BD = DC = a ÷ 2

Now, using Pythagoras Theorem in Triangle ABD,

The Pythagorean theorem is this: In a right triangle, the sum of the squares of the lengths of the two legs is equal to the square of the length of the hypotenuse.

\mathrm{AB}^{2}=\mathrm{BD}^{2}+\mathrm{AD}^{2}

\begin{array}{l}{a^{2}=\left(\frac{a}{2}\right)^{2}+(4 \sqrt{3})^{2}} \\\\ {a^{2}-\left(\frac{a}{2}\right)^{2}=(4 \sqrt{3})^{2}}\end{array}

\frac{4 a^{2}-a^{2}}{4}=16 \times 3

\begin{array}{l}{\frac{3 a^{2}}{4}=16 \times 3} \\\\ {3 a^{2}=192} \\\\ {a^{2}=192 \div 3=64}\end{array}

a = 8

Hence, the three sides of the triangle are 8 units each

In equilateral traingle, length of all three sides of triangle are equal

So, Perimeter = 3 \times (Length of each side of triangle)

Perimeter = 3 \times 8 = 24

Thus the perimeter of the equatorial triangle is 24 units
