1 answer:
Cerrena [4.2K]3 years ago

Answer:

Option B is true

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that three right  triangles .Triangles ABD,CAD and CBA are similar.

When two triangles are similar then, the corresponding sidea are in equal proportion.

We have AB=5 units

AC= 7 units

BC=x

Triangles ABD is similar triangle CBA

\frac{AB}{BD}=\frac{BC}{AB}

AB^2=BC\cdot BD

(5)^2=BC\cdot BD

BC\cdot BD=25

When triangle CAD and CBA are similar

Then,\frac{AC}{BC}=\frac{CD}{AC}

AC^2=CD\cdot BC

(7)^2=CD\cdot BC

49=CD\cdot BC

In traingle CBA, uisng pythagoras theorem

AB^2+AC^2=BC^2

BC\cdot BD+BC\cdot CD=x^2

25+49=x^2

x^2=74

Hence, option B is true.

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

8 lb of flounder at $2.50/lb

4 lb of shrimp at $5.00/lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the pounds of shrimp

Let B be the pounds of flounder

Let C be the cost per pound of flounder

A + B = 12

A = 12 - B

        BC = 20

    A(2C) = 20

BC =  A(2C)

BC =  (12 - B)(2C)

BC =  24C - 2BC

3BC =  24C

  3B =  24

    B = 8 lb

A + 8 = 12

    A = 4 lb

C<br> Solve for m:<br> 3/4m - 3 = 9<br> May I please have help!
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

m=16

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :  3/4*m-3-(9)=0

Step 1: Simplify 3/4

Equation at the end of step 1: ((3/4 x m) - 3) - 9 = 0

Step2: Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  4  as the denominator :

        3     3 • 4

   3 =  —  =  —————

        1       4  

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

3m - (3 • 4)                               3m - 12

—————4———————  =  ———4————

When a fraction equals zero ...

Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

 3•(m-16)

 ———————— • 4 = 0 • 4

    4    

Now, on the left hand side, the  4  cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :

  3  •  (m-16)  = 0

6.2      Solve :    3   =  0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solve  :    m-16 = 0

Add  16  to both sides of the equation :

                     m = 16

A number has the same digit in its hundreds place and its hundredths place.
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

One is 2 0's before the decimal point (100) and the other is 2 decimal places AFTER the decimal point (0.01)

Essentially, the question is asking us how many times do we multiply 0.01 to get 100? This will be how many times greater 100 is compared to 0.01

Lets move the decimal point  4 times to the right:

0.01

00.1

1.0

10.0

100.0

The driver of the bus filled the gas tank with gas by putting in 21 gallon. If the gas gauge was at five-eighths before she fill
vazorg [7]

Answer:

56 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

When her gas tank is full, she has x gallons in the tank.

when she went to the gas station, she had (5/8) of x gallons of gas in her tank. she added 21 gallons into her tank, then she had x gallons in her tank.

(5/8)x + 21 = x

subtract x and 21 from both sides

(5/8)x - x = -21

factor out an x from the left side

x(5/8 - 1) = -21

simplify the parenthesis

x(-3/8) = -21

multiply both sides by -8/3

x= 56 gallons
