Answer:

(C) 2√15

Step-by-step explanation:

Recognize that all the triangles are right triangles, so are similar to each other. In these similar triangles, the ratio of the short side to the long side is the same for all.

... CB/CA = CT/CB

... CB² = CA·CT = 10·6 = 60 . . . . . . . . . . multiply by CA·CB; substitute values

... CB = √60 = 2√15 . . . . . . . take the square root; simplify

_____

<em>Comment on this solution</em>

The altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle (CB in this case) divides the hypotenuse into lengths such that the altitude is their geometric mean. That is ...

... CB = √(AC·CT) . . . . as above

This is true for any right triangle — another fact of geometry to put in your list of geometry facts.

Joshua's recipe for chili requires 2 3/4 ​ pounds of beef. Sondra's recipe for chili requires 2 2/3 ​ pounds of beef. Which of t
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Your question isn't complete but let me help out based on the information given.

Joshua's recipe for chili requires 2 3/4 ​ pounds of beef. Sondra's recipe for chili requires 2 2/3 ​ pounds of beef.

The pounds of beef required by both of them will be:

= 2 3/4 + 2 2/3

= 2 9/12 + 2 8/12

= 4 17/12

= 4 + 1 5/12

= 5 5/12

The difference in the pounds of beef required by both of them will be:

= 2 3/4 - 2 2/3

= 2 9/12 - 2 8/12

= 1/12

Also, we.can also infer that Joshua recipe for chili requires more pounds of beef than that of Sondra

Martha and sarah leave block p and q towards q and p respectively simultaneously and travel in the same route. After meeting eac
olga_2 [115]

The average speed of Martha and Sarah is 32 km/h.

We need to know about the speed to solve this problem. Speed can be determined as the distance traveled divided by time. It can be written as

v = s / t

where v is speed, s is distance and t is time.

From the question above, we know that:

t sarah = 3 hours

t martha = 5 hours

v sarah = 40 km/h

By using the speed equation, we get the distance

vsarah = s / tsarah

40 = s/3

s = 120 km

Find Martha's speed

vmartha = s / tmartha

vmartha = 120 / 5

vmartha = 24 km/h

Find average speed

v = (vsarah + vmartha)/2

v = (40 + 24) / 2

v = 32 km/h

Hence, the average speed of Martha and Sarah is 32 km/h.

Can someone help me figure out the answer?
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

f(t) = 5×0.87^t

Step-by-step explanation:

The general form for an exponential function described in this fashion is ...

... f(t) = (starting value) × (1 + (percent change))^t

Here, the "percent change" is -13%, or -0.13.

Then the value (1 + percent change) is (1 + (-0.13)) = 0.87. Putting this and the starting value into the form above, we have ...

... f(t) = 5 × 0.87^t
