-3(8-10) subtracting is the same as adding the opposite

-3(-2) multi. Negative times a negative becomes a positive

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First we should solve the problems inside the bracket (a+x). Since a=8 and x=-10, (a+x) = (8+(-10)). (8+(-10))= (8-10). Then it is only a matter of subtraction and multiplication. (8-10)=(-2). Now we have clear numbers instead of variables, so (-3)(-2)=+6 (since two brackets with no sign in between will multiply the contents inside each other together.). I hope this was helpful!

TL;DR: (-3)(a+x)=(-3)(8+(-10))=(-3)(8-10)=(-3)(-2)=+6.

Tell whether the pair of polygons is similar. Explain why or why not. (3 points) I get the general idea of this but I’m having t
masha68 [24]

Answer:

PQRS and TUVW are similar.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are give two polygons.

Sides of first polygon are :

PQ = 8 ft

QR= 13ft

RS = 8ft

PS = 13ft.

Sides of second polygon:

TW = 2.4 ft

TU = 5.2 ft

UV = 2.4 ft

VW = 5.2 ft.

We can see that PQRS and TUVW are parallelograms.

Note: <em>If an angle of a parallelogram is equal to an angle of another parallelogram then parallelograms would be similar.</em>

We can see that <Q ≅ <T = 120°.

<h3>Therefore, PQRS and TUVW are similar.</h3>

What is the area of the triangle in the diagram?
Vladimir [108]

1/2sqrt((x_1^2+y_1^2)(x_2^2+y_2^2))

The area of a triangle is equal to 1/2bh (one half base times height). Since this is a right triangle, the base and height are the two legs connected to the 90* angle. To find the values of these sides, we will use Pythagorean Theorem, root a squared plus b squared.

Short leg: <x(1),y(1)>

This leg can be seen as the hypotenuse of an invisible right triangle. The x value, x(1), is how far over the x value has gone from the origon at x=0. Imagine a leg alone the x-axis, going from (0,0) to (x(1),0). The y value of the point, y(1), works the same way. This leg will go from our previous mark at (x(1),0) to the point (x(1),y(1)). This shows that the short leg of the main triangle is the hypotenuse, with a height of y(1) and base of x(1). Pythagoreum Theorem shows that the length of this leg is equal to sqrt(x_1^2+y_1^2).

Long leg: <x(2), y(2)>

The same process works here, giving us sqrt(x_2^2+y_2^2).

Now for the area, we have the b and h values. Our equation reads 1/2sqrt(x_1^2+y_1^2)sqrt(x_2^2+y_2^2).

But we can simplify this (yay). The two square roots can be written together as sqrt((x_1^2+y_1^2)(x_2^2+y_2^2))

So the correct answer is 1/2sqrt((x_1^2+y_1^2)(x_2^2+y_2^2))

23 degrees 20’48 is the same as _degrees.
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

\large\boxed{23^o20'48''=\left(23\dfrac{26}{75}\right)^o}

Step-by-step explanation:

\text{We know:}\\\\1^o=60'\to1'=\left(\dfrac{1}{60}\right)^o\\\\1'=60''\to1^o=(60)(60'')=3600''\to1''=\left(\dfrac{1}{3600}\right)^o\\\\23^o20'48''\\\\20'=\left(\dfrac{20}{60}\right)^o=\left(\dfrac{1}{3}\right)^o\\\\48''=\left(\dfrac{48}{3600}\right)^o=\left(\dfrac{1}{75}\right)^o\\\\\text{Therefore}\\\\23^o20'48''=23^o+20'+48''=23^o+\left(\dfrac{1}{3}\right)^o+\left(\dfrac{1}{75}\right)^o\\\\=\left(23+\dfrac{1\cdot25}{3\cdot75}+\dfrac{1}{75}\right)^o=\left(23+\dfrac{25}{75}+\dfrac{1}{75}\right)^o=\left(23\dfrac{26}{75}\right)^o

erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 0.05x = 36225

x(1 + 0.05) = 36225

x*1.05 = 36225

by solving we find:

x = $34,500
