Answer:

x is the price of the meal

(1+0.0825 + 0.18) is the total percentage on top of the price he pays with sales tax and tip.

Step-by-step explanation:

The factor x is the price of the meal. The factor (1 + 0.0825 + 0.18) is the 100% of the price, the sales tax on that price and the tip on the total. 1 + 0.0825 + 0.18 = 1.2625 is the total percentage he pays on the price. He pays 26.25% in addition of the price of the meal to cover tax and tip.

GJ is a midsegment of triangle DEF, and HK is a midsegment of triangle GFJ. What is the length of HK?

loris [4]

Answer:

Option B) 4 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

step 1

Find the value of n

we know that

a) GJ is a midsegment of triangle DEF

then

G is the midpoint segment DF and J is the midpoint segment EF

DG=GF and EJ=JF

b) HK is a midsegment of triangle GFJ

then

H is the midpoint segment GF and K is the midpoint segment JF

GH=HF and JK=KF

In this problem we have

HF=7 cm

GH=7 cm

GF=GH+HF ----> by addition segment postulate

GF=7+7=14 cm

Remember that

DG=GF

substitute the given values

$2n-1=14$

solve for n

$2n=14+1$

$2n=15$

$n=7.5\ cm$

step 2

Find the length of GJ

we know that

The Midpoint Theorem states that the segment joining two sides of a triangle at the midpoints of those sides is parallel to the third side and is half the length of the third side

$GJ=\frac{1}{2}DE$

we have

$GE=2n+1=2(7.5)+1=16\ cm$

substitute

$GJ=\frac{1}{2}16=8\ cm$

step 3

Find the length of HK

we have that

$HK=\frac{1}{2}GJ$ ----> by the midpoint theorem

we have

$GJ=8\ cm$

substitute

$HK=\frac{1}{2}8=4\ cm$

A farmer grows two types of grain in his fields. he has a seed budget of $20,000.00 and has spent $11,200.00 to plant wheat seed

Arisa [49]

For the answer to the question above, I'll provide a solution below.
52x < = 20,000 - 11200
52x < = 8800
x < = 8800/52
x < = 169.23
So the answer to your question is 169 acres of barley the farmer can plant and still be under budget.
I hope my answer helped you. have a nice day!
