The "slope" means how far you rise when you travel 1 unit horizontally.
"Steeper" means you rise higher for each horizontal distance ... more slope.
A slope of 1/12 means 12 horizontal units raise you one unit higher.
12 horizontal inches raise you 1 inch higher.
1 horizontal foot raises you 1 inch higher.
12 horizontal feet raises you 1 foot higher.

In order to rise 2 feet, you'd have to cover (2 x 12) = 24 horizontal feet
on a 1/12 slope.

Answer:

  (b)  21.4

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a couple of interesting relations regarding chords and secants and tangents of a circle. With the right point of view, they can be viewed as variations of the same relation, possibly making them easier to remember.

When chords cross inside a circle (as here), each divides the other into two parts. The product of the lengths of the two parts of one chord is the same as the product of the lengths of the two parts of the other chord.

Here, that means ...

  7x = 10·15

  x = 150/7 = 21 3/7 ≈ 21.4

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

A secant is a line that intersects a circle in two places. (A tangent is a special case of secant where the two points of intersection are the same point.) When two secants meet outside the circle, there is a special relation between the lengths of the various line segments.

Consider the line segment from the point where the secants meet each other to the far intersection point with the circle. The product of that length and the length to the near intersection point with the circle is the same for both secants.

Here's the viewpoint that merges these two relations:

<em>The product of the lengths from the point of intersection of the lines with each other to the two points of intersection with the circle is the same for each line</em>.

(Note that when the "secant" is a tangent, that product is the square of the distance from the tangent point to the point of intersection with the other line--the distance to the circle multiplied by itself.)

480 bottles because 300 divided by 5 is 60 so then you multiply 60 by 8 and you get 480!

Answer:

1. new perimeter = 4 times the old perimeter

2. The area will go up by a factor of 16

3. The new area is 1/9 of the original area.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. side length1 = x

side length2 = y

2x + 2y = perimeter

2(4x) + 2(4)y = new perimeter

8x + 8y = new perimeter

new perimeter = 4 times the old perimeter

2. The area will go up by a factor of 16. This is because the area formula has them being multiplied together and thus it will make the area go up by that much.

3. Let the length of the rectangle be x

Let width of rectangle be y

Area of rectangle =  L*W

Now Each side length of the rectangle is multiplied by 1/3

So, new area =  (1/3)L * (1/3)W

=(1/9)LW

So, the new area is 1/9 of the original area.

The perimeter of the rectangle below is 90 units. find the length of side vy . write your answer without variables.
Salsk061 [2.6K]
The picture in the attached figure

we know that
perimeter of a rectangle=2*[base+height]
base=3y+1
height=2y+3
perimeter=90 units
so
90=2*[(3y+1)+(2y+3)]-----> 90=2*[5y+4]----> 10y+8=90----> y=8.2 units

base=3y+1-----> base=3*8.2+1-----> 25.6 units
height=2y+3----> height= 2*8.2+3---> 19.4 units 

the answer is
<span>the length of side vy is (2y+3)-----> 19.4 units</span>
