We have similar triangles so

\dfrac{4'6"}{18"} = \dfrac{x}{11'9"}

x= \dfrac{ (12(11)+9 )(12(4)+6) }{18 } = 423 \textrm{ inches}

Answer: 35' 3"

Find the x and y intercepts of 4x - 5y = 40<br><br> Is this correct and can someone explain why??
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

no, the correct answer is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

for the x-intercept you would first add 5y to both sides giving you 4x=5y+40. then you would divide both sides by 4, so the final equation would be x=5/4y+10.

for the y-intercept you would subtract 4x from both sides, making -5y=-4x+40. then you would divide both sides by -5, making the final equation y=4/5x-8.

Two opposite sides of a square with length x are increased by 3 units each and the other two opposite sides are decreased by 3 u
SCORPION-xisa [38]
All four sides of the original square have length s.

Adding 3 to s results in s+3, the length of the resulting rectangle.
Subtracting 3 from s results in s-3, the width of the rectangle.

The area of the rectangle is (s+3)(s-3) = s^2 - 9 = 27,  

and therefore s^2 = 36, and s = 6 square units.

"Calculate cos theta to two decimal places. (Use the pic attached inside!!!)
jolli1 [7]
Let
T = theta
Use the Law of Cosines to get
c^2 = a^2+b^2 - 2ab*cos(T)
<span>7^2 = 10^2+8^2 - 2*10*8*cos(T)
</span><span>49  = 164 - 160*cos(T)
-160cos(T) = 49-164
</span><span>-160cos(T) = -115
</span>cos(T) = -115/(-160)
cos(T) = 23/32
cos(T) = 0.71875 which rounds to 0.72

The final answer is C) 0.72
