Answer:

A. How can the equation be used in temperature conversion?

You take the conversion equation C = (5/9) (F - 32) and you replace the F by the value of Fahrenheit degrees...  then solve the calculations to get the degrees in Celsius.

For example, if you have 80°F to convert in °C:

C = (5/9) (80 - 32) = (5/9) (48) = 26.66 °C

B. How can you use the graph to find the body temp in C?

Using the graph will give a very imprecise measure due the scale of the graph.

But you would have to find 98.6 on the axis of X (it represents the °F), then go upwards until you find the line....

Then report that position on the line on the Y-axis (representing the °C) to get your measure.

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For A:</u> The linear equation is C=\frac{5}{9}F-\frac{32}{9}

<u>For B:</u> The temperature of normal body in degree Celsius is 37° C.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • <u>For A:</u>

Linear equations are defined as the equations in which the highest power of a variable is '1'. The general equation for a linear equation is:

y=mx+c

where,

y = Y-coordinate

m = slope of the line

x = X - coordinate

c = intercept on y-axis

For the given equation:

C=\frac{5}{9}(F-32)

The linear equation representation for the given equation is:

C=\frac{5}{9}F-\frac{32}{9}

  • <u>For B:</u>

We are given a value of temperature in degree Fahrenheit. To calculate its value in degree Celsius, we use the equation above.

Putting value of F = 98.6 in above equation, we get:

C=(\frac{5}{9}\times 98.6)-\frac{32}{9}\\\\C=37

Hence, the temperature of normal body in degree Celsius is 37° C.

Experimentally verify sum of three angles of an triangle is 180⁰.​
svetlana [45]

Draw line a through points A and B. Draw line b through point C and parallel to line a.

Since lines a and b are parallel, <)BAC = <)B'CA and <)ABC = <)BCA'.

It is obvious that <)B'CA + <)ACB + <)BCA' = 180 degrees.

Thus <)ABC + <)BCA + <)CAB = 180 degrees.

Lemma

If ABCD is a quadrilateral and <)CAB = <)DCA then AB and DC are parallel.

Proof

Assume to the contrary that AB and DC are not parallel.

Draw a line trough A and B and draw a line trough D and C.

These lines are not parallel so they cross at one point. Call this point E.

Notice that <)AEC is greater than 0.

Since <)CAB = <)DCA, <)CAE + <)ACE = 180 degrees.

Hence <)AEC + <)CAE + <)ACE is greater than 180 degrees.

Contradiction. This completes the proof.

Definition

Two Triangles ABC and A'B'C' are congruent if and only if

|AB| = |A'B'|, |AC| = |A'C'|, |BC| = |B'C'| and,

<)ABC = <)A'B'C', <)BCA = <)B'C'A', <)CAB = <)C'A'B'.

Heidi spent a total of $60 on clothing items she bought 2 pairs of shorts for 10 dollars each she bought some t-shirts for 4 eac
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

2 pair shorts and for t-shirts and sandals possible cases are  

1 t-shirt and 3 sandals or

4 t-shirts and 2 sandals or

7 t-shirts and 1 sandals.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total money spent by Heidi on the clothing items is $60.

Now , she bought 2 pairs of short for $10 each , so, the money spent on shorts will be $20.

Thus money for other stuffs should be $40.

Let she bought x t-shirts for $4 each , thus money spent on t-shirts will be 4x dollars.

Also let she bought y sandals for $12 each , so money spent on sandals will be 12y dollars .

Thus , 4x + 12y = 40.  (since 40 dollars were remaining for other clothing

                                     items)

So, x + 3y = 10.

So, the possible cases are 1 t-shirt and 3 sandals or

4 t-shirts and 2 sandals or

7 t-shirts and 1 sandals.

Max's grade on the first math exam was a 94. His grade on his seond math exam was an 89. What was the percent of change in Max's
Tom [10]

We are given that

Max's grade on the first math exam was a 94

so, first exam grade =94

His grade on his seond math exam was an 89

so, second exam grade =89

change in grade=(first exam grade)-(second exam grade)

change in grade=94-89

change in grade=5

Percentage = ( change in grade)/( first exam grade) *100

so, percentage is

=\frac{5}{94}\times 100

so,

the percent of change in Max's grade to the nearest whole percentage was 5%..........Answer
