Answer:

5.4

Step-by-step explanation:

At the point of tangency, the degree measure is 90. Hence Angle ABO is 90 degrees. So triangle ABO is right triangle.

In a right triangle, we can use the pythagorean theorem, which says:

Leg1^2 + Leg2^2 = Hypotenuse^2

Where

Leg 1 and Leg 2 are 2 sides of the triangle, respectively, and

hypotenuse is the side "opposite" of the 90 degree angle

In this diagram, thus we can write:

r^2 + AB^2 = AO^2

Now putting the information we know, we can solve for r:

r^2 + 9^2 = (10.5)^2

r^2 + 81 = 110.25

r^2 = 110.25 - 81

r^2 = 29.25

r = Sqrt(29.25)

r = 5.41

Rounded to nearest tenth, it is 5.4, 2nd answer chice is right.

A. Original Price: $16.20
Tom [10]

Answer:

The final price is $ 22.68  And Proportional constant is 1.4  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The Original price = $ 16.20

The rate of increase = 40%

Let The final price = x

Now,

Final price after increase = initial price × ( 1 + \frac{\textrm Rate}{100}

Or. Final price after increase = $ 16.20 × ( 1 + \frac{\textrm 40}{100}

Or, Final price after increase = $ 16.20 × ( 1.4 )

∴ Final price after increase = $ 22.68

Now , Proportional constant = \frac{22.68}{16.20}

I.e Proportional constant = 1.4

Hence The final price is $ 22.68  And Proportional constant is 1.4  Answer

Solving Rational equations. LCD method. Show work. Image attached.
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

b=1

Step-by-step explanation:

The given rational equation is

\frac{2b-5}{b-2} -2=\frac{3}{b+2}

The Least Common Denominator is (b+2)(b-2).

Multiply each term in the equation by the LCD.

(b+2)(b-2)\times \frac{2b-5}{b-2} -(b+2)(b-2)\times2=(b+2)(b-2)\times\frac{3}{b+2}

Simplify;

(b+2)\times \frac{2b-5}{1} -2(b+2)(b-2)=(b-2)\times\frac{3}{1}

(b+2)(2b-5) -2(b+2)(b-2)=3(b-2)

Expand and group similar terms

2b^2-5b+4b-10 -2(b^2-4)=3b-6

2b^2-5b+4b-10 -2b^2+8=3b-6

-b-2=3b-6

3b+b=-2+6

4b=4

b=1

A bike and skate shop rents bike for $21 per day and pairs of skates for $20 per day. To remain viable, the shop needs to make a
Leya [2.2K]
Let the number of bike be x and the number of skates be y, then
21x + 20y ≥ 362 . . . (1)
2y = x . . . (2)

Putting (2) into (1), then
21(2y) + 20y ≥ 362
42y + 20y ≥ 362
62y ≥ 362
y ≥ 5.84

The least number of pairs of skates they need to rent each day to make their minimum is 6.
