Answer:28inches & 84inches

First, lets write an equation that fits the data given. The string is 112 inches long. When the two pieces are cut, the first piece will be three times as long as the second piece. If we use the variable, x, to represent the second piece, we can create the following equation...

112=3x+x

Now lets solve for x.

112=4x
divide both sides by 4
28 inches=x

Now we know that the second piece is 28inches long. Since the first piece is three times as long, simply multiply 28*3 and we'll know the length of the first piece.

28*3=84 inches
28+84=112

Define linear relationship​
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

A linear relationship (or linear association) is a statistical term used to describe a straight-line relationship between two variables. Linear relationships can be expressed either in a graphical format or as a mathematical equation of the form y = mx + b. Linear relationships are fairly common in daily life.

x = 1

Answer:

m\angle XVW = 100\degree

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first figure, FP is the bisector of \angle DFE

\therefore m\angle 1 = m\angle 2\\\therefore 44x + 1 = 46x - 1\\\therefore 1 + 1 = 46x - 44x\\\therefore 2 = 2x\\\therefore \frac{2}{2} = x \\\huge \red {\boxed {\therefore x = 1}}

In the second figure, VP is the bisector of \angle XVW

\therefore m\angle 1 = m\angle 2\\\therefore 12x + 2 = 11x +6\\\therefore 12x - 11x = 6 - 2\\\therefore x  = 4\\\because m\angle XVW = m\angle1 + m\angle 2\\\therefore m\angle XVW = 12x + 2 + 11x +6\\\therefore m\angle XVW = 23x + 8\\\therefore m\angle XVW = 23\times 4+ 8\\\therefore m\angle XVW = 92+ 8\\\huge \purple {\boxed {\therefore m\angle XVW = 100\degree}} \\

Radius OA of circle O has a slope of 2.5. What is the slope of the line tangent to circle O to point A?
mixer [17]
The tangent at A is perpendicular to OA, so has a slope that is the negative reciprocal of that of the radius: -1/2.5 = -2/5.
