R = 10, T = 20

OK. Calculate the length of segment RT:

|RT| = |20 - 10| = |10| = 10

Divide |RT| into a ratio of 2:3

2 + 3 = 5

10 : 5 = 2

Therefore we have

|RS| = 2 · 2 = 4 and |ST| = 3 · 2 = 6 (4 + 6 = 10 CORRECT)

T = R + 4 and T = T - 6

T = 10 + 4 = 14; T = 20 - 6 = 14 CORRECT

<h3>Your answer is T = 14.</h3>

2/3(x-2)=-2<br>how would I solve this

xeze [42]

Answer:

x =(5/3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is $\frac{2}{3(x-2)} = -2$

Now to simplify it,

The first step is to cross multiply.

So, the expression becomes

$\frac{2}{(-2)} = 3(x-2)$

or, -1 = 3x - 6

⇒ 3x = -1 + 6

⇒ 3x = 5 , or x =(5/3)

What is the height of the building pictured below if its shadow is 100 ft. long?

Evgen [1.6K]

Yeah.. baby, do the SOH CAH TOA with the hula hoop

$\bf 
sin(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{hypotenuse}
\qquad \qquad 
% cosine
cos(\theta)=\cfrac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}

\\ \quad \\
% tangent
tan(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{adjacent}
$

so.. hmmm we have in the picture, an angle, and two sides,
actually, is the "adjacent" side, and the "opposite"

so.. which of those ratios give us only
the angle
the adjacent side
the opposite side?

ahhha!, is Ms tangent
so $\bf tan(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{adjacent}\implies tan(42^o)=\cfrac{h}{100}$

solve for "h"

David says he has 2/3 of a pipe length left, while Don says he has 11/16 of a length left. Which person has the longest section

Kruka [31]

Answer:

Don

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We make the fractions have common denominators so it is easier to compare them. We can do this buy multiplying 2/3 by a factor of 16, so it becomes 32/48. For 11/16, we multiply by a factor of 3 so it becomes 33/48. It is now apparent that Don has the longer pipe.

Find the average of 2m,20cm and 95cm give your answer in cm

stepan [7]

Answer:

The average is:

105 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

1 m = 100cm

2m = 2*100 = 200cm

then:

(200 + 20 + 95)/3 = 315/3 = 105cm
