Ni : Zn: Cu = 7:2:9 =7x : 2x : 9x

7x+2x+9x = 3.8
18x=3.8
x=3.8/18=1.9/9≈0.21

Ni: 7x=7*0.21=1.47 ≈1.5 kg
Zn: 2x=2*0.21=0.42≈0.4 kg
Cu: 9x=9*0.21=1.89 ≈1.9 kg

Check 1.5+0.4+1.9 =3.8 True

Answer:

Case 1:

$AB = 30$

$BC = 50$

Case 2:

$AB = 15.9$

$BC = 36.7$

Case 3: Not possible

Find AB and BC

Case 1:

Using Pythagoras theorem in ANB, we have:

$AB^2 = AN^2 + BN^2$

This gives:

$AB^2 = 24^2 + 18^2$

$AB^2 = 576 + 324$

$AB^2 = 900$

Take square roots of both sides

$AB = \sqrt{900$

$AB = 30$

To calculate BC, we consider ANC, where:

$AC^2 = AN^2 + NC^2$

$40^2 = 24^2 + NC^2$

$1600 = 576 + NC^2$

Collect like terms

$NC^2 = 1600 - 576$

$NC^2 = 1024$

Take square roots

$NC = \sqrt{1024$

$NC = 32$

So:

$BC = NC + BN$

$BC = 32 + 18$

$BC = 50$

Case 2:

Using Pythagoras theorem in ANB, we have:

$AN^2 = AB^2 + BN^2$

This gives:

$24^2 = AB^2 + 18^2$

$576 = AB^2 + 324$

Collect like terms

$AB^2 = 576 - 324$

$AB^2 = 252$

Take square roots of both sides

$AB = \sqrt{252$

$AB = 15.9$

To calculate BC, we consider ABC, where:

$AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2$

$40^2 = 252 + BC^2$

$1600 = 252 + BC^2$

Collect like terms

$BC^2 = 1600 - 252$

$BC^2 = 1348$

Take square roots

$BC = \sqrt{1348$

$BC = 36.7$

Case 3:

This is not possible because in ANC

The hypotenuse AN (24) is less than AC (40)

Which ratio is equivalent to 9/36

balandron [24]

Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Find the GCF. List out the factors of the numerator and the denominator. 1, 3, 9 are the factors of 9, while 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 36 are the factors of 36. 9 is a common factor of both of them, so the GCF is 9.

Step 2: Divide the numerator and denominator by 9 (the GCF). 9/9 is 1. 36/9 is 4. This means that our fraction is 1/4. The fraction is in simplest form.

PLZ HELP!! 20 points!

kolbaska11 [484]

To find if a point is a solution to a system of equations, we need to plug in the x and y values of the point into each equation, and see if the equation is true.

Let's plug it into the first equation first:

-2(3) - 4(-2) might = 2
-6 + 8 = 2

The first equation is true.

Now, we need to check the second equation:

3(3) + 4(-2) might =8
9 - 8 does not = 8

Therefore, even if the point satisfies one equation, it does not satisfy the other. We can conclude that this is not a solution.

Hope this helps!
