First, we need to see what 1/5 of a minute is.
60÷5=12
So, there's 3/4 of a gallon every 12 seconds. We need to multiply 3/4 by 5 to find every minute.
3/4×5=15/4=3 3/4
.But, you can tell that he multiplied 3/4 by 1/5, which is not right since you're suppose to do it by 5. But the answer is 3 1/2 gallon per minute.

Answer:

<u>Use Pythagorean:</u>

  • a² + b² = c²
<h3>#1</h3>
  • x² = 13² - 5²
  • x² = 144
  • x = √144
  • x = 12
<h3>#2</h3>
  • x² = 7² + 4²
  • x² = 65
  • x = √65
  • Option D
<h3>#3</h3>
  • x² = 10² - 6²
  • x² = 36
  • x = √36
  • x = 6

Is AD parallel to BC?
Kamila [148]
For AD to be parallel 2x+4º should be equal to 79º
2(37)+4 = 78º

78º<79º

Since they aren't equal the lines are not parallel to each other.

Please help me with this. Use the combination method of substitution to solve. Please show and explain work. Thanks.
Artemon [7]

Answer:

x = 25.35 (or 2129/84) and y = 4334.04 (or 121353/28)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equations are set up and ready to go with substitution. Simply just plug in the first equation to the second equation as both are equal to y.

Step 1: Replace y in <em>y = 87x + 2129 </em>with <em>171x</em>

171x = 87x + 2129

Step 2: Subtract 87 x on both sides

84x = 2129

Step 3: Divide both sides by 84 to get x

x = 2129/84 or 25.35 (rounded)

To get y, simply plug in x into one of the 2 original equations. In this case, I will use the first equation:

y = 171 (25.35)

y = 121353/28 or 4334.04 (rounded)

You can check your work by plugging both solutions into the calculator and see if they equal each other. The values for these answers are solely based on the equations, so if you write the <em>equations </em>wrong themselves, then that means you have the values wrong as well.

A lifeguard is in a look out chair and sees a person in distress. The eye level of the lifeguard is 15 feet above the ground. Th
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

Horizontal distance between lifeguard and the person is 22 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A lifeguard sees a person in distress.The eye level of the lifeguard is 15 feet above the ground. Angle of depression is 34°.

To find: Horizontal distance between lifeguard and the person.

Solution : If we draw a triangle then tan∅ = \frac{height}{base}

               Here base is the horizontal distance.

               Now we put the values in the formula.

               tan 34° = \frac{15}{base}

              Or Base = \frac{15}{tan34}

                             = \frac{15}{0.675} = 22.22 feet

So the answer is 22 feet.
