Ok

fisrt we determine sign
negative divided by positive=negative
answer is negative
disregard any signs for now
first convert to from mixed to improper
3 and 1/5=3+1/5=15/5+1/5=16/5

(16/5)/(2/15)
remember the fancy 'invert and multiply'
I won't tell you why because it would take too long, but if you want to know why we invert and multiply, just ask in comments

so, invert an multilply
(a/b)/(c/d)=(ad)/(bc)
(16/5)/(2/15)=(16*15)/(5*2)=(240)/(10)=24

the answer is negative so

-24 is answer

-3 1/5 ÷ 2/15
Convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions
- 16/5 divided by 2/15
Convert the division sign into multiplication while flipping the fraction 2/15 to 15/2.
- 16/5 * 15/2
Multiply the numerator by the other numerator while multiplying the denominator by the other denominator.
<span>Final Answer: -240/10 or -24 *All of these answers are equvilant to each other.</span>

A rectangle’s base is 6 cm longer than its height. The rectangle’s area is 135 cm2. Find this rectangle’s dimensions. You must i
il63 [147K]

Area of a rectangle  =  length x height

Area = 135

Height = X

Lenght = x +6

135 = x * x+6

Simplify:

135 = x^2 +6x

Subtract 135 from both sides:

x^2 + 6x - 135 = 0

Solve:

2 numbers when added need to equal 6 and when multiplied equal -135

x = 9 and x = -15

The height can't be a negative number so the height is 9

Length =  9 +6 = 15

Height = 9cm, Length = 15 cm

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equations is x-y=6
belka [17]

Answer:

m = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

First write the line in slope intercept form y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

x-y = 6

subtract x from each side

-y = -x+6

Multiply each side by -1

y = x-6

The slope is 1

Perpendicular lines have slopes that multiply to -1

m * 1 = -1

m = -1

The slope of the perpendicular line is -1

Earth’s surface is approximately 70% water. There is no water on the surface of Mars, and its diameter is roughly
Pie

Answer:

  Earth

Step-by-step explanation:

You don't need scientific notation.

The areas of similar figures are proportional to the square of their linear scale factor. If Mars is 1/2 the diameter of Earth, its total surface area is (1/2)² = 1/4 that of Earth.

That is, the land area of Mars is 25% of the total area of Earth.

The land area of Earth is 1-70% = 30% of the total area of Earth. 30% is more than 25%.

Earth has more land area than Mars.

In Triangle XYZ, measure of angle X = 49° , XY = 18°, and
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

There are two choices for angle Y: Y \approx 54.987^{\circ} for XZ \approx 15.193, Y \approx 27.008^{\circ} for XZ \approx 8.424.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are mistakes in the statement, correct form is now described:

<em>In triangle XYZ, measure of angle X = 49°, XY = 18 and YZ = 14. Find the measure of angle Y:</em>

The line segment XY is opposite to angle Z and the line segment YZ is opposite to angle X. We can determine the length of the line segment XZ by the Law of Cosine:

YZ^{2} = XZ^{2} + XY^{2} -2\cdot XY\cdot XZ \cdot \cos X (1)

If we know that X = 49^{\circ}, XY = 18 and YZ = 14, then we have the following second order polynomial:

14^{2} = XZ^{2} + 18^{2} - 2\cdot (18)\cdot XZ\cdot \cos 49^{\circ}

XZ^{2}-23.618\cdot XZ +128 = 0 (2)

By the Quadratic Formula we have the following result:

XZ \approx 15.193\,\lor\,XZ \approx 8.424

There are two possible triangles, we can determine the value of angle Y for each by the Law of Cosine again:

XZ^{2} = XY^{2} + YZ^{2} - 2\cdot XY \cdot YZ \cdot \cos Y

\cos Y = \frac{XY^{2}+YZ^{2}-XZ^{2}}{2\cdot XY\cdot YZ}

Y = \cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{XY^{2}+YZ^{2}-XZ^{2}}{2\cdot XY\cdot YZ} \right)

1) XZ \approx 15.193

Y = \cos^{-1}\left[\frac{18^{2}+14^{2}-15.193^{2}}{2\cdot (18)\cdot (14)} \right]

Y \approx 54.987^{\circ}

2) XZ \approx 8.424

Y = \cos^{-1}\left[\frac{18^{2}+14^{2}-8.424^{2}}{2\cdot (18)\cdot (14)} \right]

Y \approx 27.008^{\circ}

There are two choices for angle Y: Y \approx 54.987^{\circ} for XZ \approx 15.193, Y \approx 27.008^{\circ} for XZ \approx 8.424.
