Answer:

h = 20 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Mario's path forms a right triangle with legs 16 km and 12 km and hypotenuse h. Let's use the Pythagorean Theorem (a² + b² = c²) to solve for h.

16² + 12² = h²

256 + 144 = h²

400 = h²

h = 20 km

Answer:

20 kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

Mario will form a right triangle. The legs of the right triangle will be 16 and 12, from the 16 kilometers west and 12 kilometers south he walked.

Since it is a right, triangle, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem.

a^2+b^2=c^2

where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse.

We know that 16 and 12 are the legs. h will be the hypotenuse.

a=16\\b=12 \\c=h

Substitute the values into the formula.

16^2+12^2=h^2

Now we must solve for h by isolating it. First, evaluate the exponents on the left side.

⇒ 16²=16*16=256

256+12^2=h^2

⇒12²=12*12=144

256+144=h^2

Add 256 and 144.

400=h^2

h is being squared. The inverse of a square is the square root. Take the square root of both sides of the equation.

\sqrt{400}=\sqrt{h^2}

\sqrt{400}=h

20=h

h= 20 km

The value of h is 20 kilometers.

The temperature has been going down at a constant rate.In 4 hours it went down 12 degrees.Which expression best shows the temper
fomenos

Answer:

<u>t = t₀ - 3n</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t be the temperature and t₀ be the initial temperature of the day

Let n be the number of hours after the initial temperature ( t₀) was registered

Let -3 be the constant of change of temperature ( In 4 hours it went down 12 degrees)

Now, let's write down the expression that shows the temperature change each hour, this way:

t = t₀ - 3n

After 2 hours

t = t₀ - 3 * 2 = t₀ - 6

After 5 hours

t = t₀ - 3 * 5 = t₀ - 15

After 3 hours and 30 minutes

t = t₀ - 3 * 3.5 = t₀ - 10.5

Please hurry i don't have much time left!
quester [9]

Answer:

Check below

Step-by-step explanation:

That's too bad you haven't attached a rectangle.

Here's an example, with the data you've typed in.

1) When we dilate a rectangle we either grows it or shrink it through a scale factor.

Check the first picture below.

The New Dilated Rectangle A'B'C'D' will follow its coordinates, when the <u>Center of Dilation is at its origin(Middle):</u>

D_{A'B'C'D'}=\frac{1}{2}(x,y)

2) But In this question, <u>B is the center of Dilation</u>. So, Since B is the Dilation Point B=B' .  And More importantly:

\bar{AB}=\frac{1}{2}\bar{A'B'}\\\bar{CD}=\frac{1}{2}\bar{C'D'}\\\bar{AC}=\frac{1}{2}\bar{A'C'}\\\bar{CD}=\frac{1}{2}\bar{C'D'}\\

3) So check the pictures below for a better understanding.

Elena-2011 [213]

Camille spent 22 minutes and 30 seconds opening presents.

Since Camille had a very fun birthday party with lots of friends and family attending, and the party lasted for 3 hours, and she and her friends played games for 3/8 of the time, ate pizza and cake for 50% of the time , and spent the remainder of the time opening presents, to determine the amount of time spent opening presents the following calculation must be performed, posing the following linear equation:

Total time - time spent on other activities = time spent opening presents

  • 3 - (3 x 3/8) - (3 x 0.5) = X
  • 3 - 1.125 - 1.5 = X
  • 3 - 2.625 = X
  • 0.375 = X

  • 1 = 60
  • 0.375 = X
  • 0.375 x 60 = X
  • 22.5 = X

Therefore, Camille spent 22 minutes and 30 seconds opening presents.
