Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

∠WVU is a tangent- tangent angle whose measure is

0.5( major arc WU - minor arc WU), that is

0.5(37x + 5 - (23x - 5) ) = 5x + 17 ← distribute inner parenthesis

0.5(37x + 5 - 23x + 5) = 5x + 17 ← simplify

0.5(14x + 10) = 5x + 17 ← distribute parenthesis

7x + 5 = 5x + 17 ( subtract 5x from both sides )

2x + 5 = 17 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

2x = 12 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 6

Sauron [17]

Lets begin with our y=mx+b, our constant(b) is 800 that she earns as a salary, our x represents the amount she sells, m then represents the commission which is 8.25% so converting that to a decimal and replacing it as m gets us y = 0.0825x+800. Replace $4500 for x and we have y=0.0825(4500)+800 solve and we get $1171.25

Miranda enlarged a picture twice as shown below, each time using a scale factor of 3.

lyudmila [28]

Answer:

The area of the second enlargement is 1,944 square inches

The area of the second enlargement is (3 squared) squared times the original area.

The ratio of the area of the first enlargement to the area of the original equals the square of the scale factor

Step-by-step explanation:

Verify each statement

1) The area of the first enlargement is 72 square inches.

The statement is false

Because

we know that

The original dimensions of the rectangle are

length 6 inches and width 4 inches

First enlargement

Multiply the original dimensions by a scale factor of 3

$Length: 6(3)=18\ inches\\Width: 4(3)=12\ inches$

The area of the first enlargement is

$18(12)=216\ in^2$

2) The area of the second enlargement is 1,944 square inches

The statement is true

Multiply the dimensions of the first enlargement by a scale factor of 3

$Length: 18(3)=54\ inches\\Width: 12(3)=36\ inches$

The area of the second enlargement is

$54(36)=1,944\ in^2$

3) The area of the second enlargement is (3 squared) squared times the original area.

The statement is true

Because

The original area is 24 square inches

$[(3^2)]^2(24)=1,944\ in^2$

4) The area of the second enlargement is 3 times the area of the first enlargement

The statement is false

Because

$3(216)=648\ in^2$

$648\ in^2 \neq 1,944\ in^2$

5) The ratio of the area of the first enlargement to the area of the original equals the square of the scale factor

The statement is true

Because

The square of the scale factor is 3^2=9

and the ratio is equal to

$\frac{216}{24}=9$
