Let's use the line on the right side. In the smaller triangle, the length is 4. The same side on the bigger triangle is 12. The ratio of the smaller triangle to the bigger triangle is:

$\frac{4}{12} \rightarrow 4:12$

$12 \div 4 = 3$

To find a side length for the bigger triangle, all you need to do is multiply by 3. The same side on the smaller triangle is 5. Multiply by 3

$5 \times 3 = 15$

That means x = 15

Find the angles in this quadilateral

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

Therefore a= 90°,b=54°, x=54°, y= 162°

Step-by-step explanation:

a=90°

a:b=5:3

5+3= 8

5/8 x A = 90

A is the sum of the angles of a and b divided in the ratio 5:3

5A/8 = 90

cross multiply

5A= 90 X8 = 720

5A=720

A= 720/5= 144°

b= 3/8 x 144 = 3x144/8 = 432/8 = 54

a= 90

b= 54

x:y is in the ratio of 1:3

the Sum of angles in a Quadrilateral is 360°

if the sum of a and b is 144°

then the reamining angles is 360-144= 216°

then x:y=1:3

1+3=4

x= 1/4 x 216= 54°

y= 3/4 x 216= 162°

Therefore a= 90°,b=54°, x=54°, y= 162°

we can see that b = x = 54°

hayden bought 48 new trading cards three fourths of the new cards are baseball cards how many baseball cards did hayden buy

satela [25.4K]

He bought 36 baseball cards. Since 3/4 of the 48 cards are baseball cards, you need to find 75% of 48, which is 75*48, which is 36 cards. Hope this helps.

PLEASE MAKE SURE HELP ME!

bulgar [2K]

Answer:

1. The first problem is wrong, it should be 0.5(3(15) + 2(20)) because the parentheses make sure that every purchased item is being divided by 2 (multiplying by 0.5 is the same as dividing by 2)

2. The second problem is partially correct. The first two answers you have checked are correct, but the last one is wrong. The third answer should be 6 + 12 instead because that's just a simplified version of 2(3) + 6(2), meaning they are equal

3. I cannot read your answers in the "Why or Why Not" column in the third problem, but the answers you gave in the "Evaluate" and "Does It Work?" columns are all correct.

Suppose that a large mixing tank initially holds 100 gallons of water in which 50 pounds of salt have been dissolved. Another br

Serggg [28]

Answer:

dA/dt = 12 - 2A/(100 + t)

Step-by-step explanation:

The differential equation of this problem is;

dA/dt = R_in - R_out

Where;

R_in is the rate at which salt enters

R_out is the rate at which salt exits

R_in = (concentration of salt in inflow) × (input rate of brine)

We are given;

Concentration of salt in inflow = 4 lb/gal

Input rate of brine = 3 gal/min

Thus;

R_in = 4 × 3 = 12 lb/min

Due to the fact that solution is pumped out at a slower rate, thus it is accumulating at the rate of (3 - 2)gal/min = 1 gal/min

So, after t minutes, there will be (100 + t) gallons in the tank

Therefore;

R_out = (concentration of salt in outflow) × (output rate of brine)

R_out = [A(t)/(100 + t)]lb/gal × 2 gal/min

R_out = 2A(t)/(100 + t) lb/min

So, we substitute the values of R_in and R_out into the Differential equation to get;

dA/dt = 12 - 2A(t)/(100 + t)

Since we are to use A foe A(t), thus the Differential equation is now;

dA/dt = 12 - 2A/(100 + t)
