Answer:

Part 1) The length of segment FE is 10 units

Part 2) The length of segment FL is 4.8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Triangle FED and triangle FKL are similar by AA Similarity Postulate

Part 1) Find FE

Remember that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional

\frac{DE}{KL}=\frac{FE}{FK}

substitute the given values

\frac{15}{6}=\frac{FE}{4}

FE=15(4)/6\\FE=10\ units

Part 2) Find FL

Remember that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional

\frac{DE}{KL}=\frac{FD}{FL}

substitute the given values

\frac{15}{6}=\frac{12}{FL}

FL=6(12)/15\\FL=4.8\ units

A school held a kiddie carnival to raise money for the PTA. Admission for adults was $8, and admission for children was $5. In t
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

B. 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a system of equations where a is the number of adults and c is the number of children

a + c = 87

8a + 5c = 468

Solve by substitution by rearranging the first equation, then substituting it in the second equation:

a = 87 - c

Substitute this for a in the second equation, then solve for c:

8(87 - c) + 5c = 468

696 - 8c + 5c = 468

696 - 3c = 468

-3c = -228

c = 76

Then, plug this into the first equation to solve for a:

a + c = 87

a + 76 = 87

a = 11

So, 11 adults attended the carnival.

The correct answer is B, 11

Ben's car gets between 18 and 21 miles per gallon of gas. If his car's tank holds 15 gallons, what is the range of distance that
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Ben's car gets between 18 and 21 miles per gallon of gas. If his car's tank holds 15 gallons, it means that the least distance that Ben can drive on one tank of gas would be

18 × 15 = 270 miles.

Also, the most distance that Ben can drive on one tank of gas would be

21 × 15 = 315 miles.

Therefore the the range of distance that Ben can drive on one tank of gas is between 270 miles and 315 miles. If d represents the distance, then the range is

270 ≤ d ≤ 315)

Changing Volume If each edge of a cube is increasing at the constant rate of 3 centimeters per second, how fast is the volume in
timofeeve [1]
Calculus! First one I've seen here! Take the derivative of the volume of a cube. Volume is V = s^3, dV = 3s^2 ds when s = 10 and ds = 3.  I think you used x. Anyway, in the derivative fill in the s with a 10 and the ds (rate of change) is 3. So dV = 3(10)^2 * 3
     dV = 600 cm per second
