Answer: Yes, Kevin can water both plants together again.


Step-by-step explanation:

Given:  Kevin waters his ivy every third day, and his cactus every fifth day

such that the number of days after Kevin will water both plants together again=least common multiple of 3 and 5= 15

Thus, after 15 days Kevin can water both plants together again.

As in February, there are 28/29 days , thus if he waters plants before 13/14 february respectively[28-15=13, 19-15=14], then he will sure water both plants in february again.

 No, he will not because there is only 27-29 days in February and 15 is the only common multiple of 3 and 5.

What is the altitude of a rhombus if its area is 50 square meters and the length on one side is 12.5 meters
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

<u>Answer:</u>

8 meters or 4 meters

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We know that for finding the area of a rhombus, there are two diagonal sides: one of which is 12.5 meters in length and the other one we'll assume to be y.

Then, we can write:

Area of rhombus = \frac{1}{2} *12.5*y

50=\frac{1}{2} *12.5*y

y=\frac{100}{12.5}

y=8 meters

If the sides of the rhombus are not internally diagonal, then we can simply use the following formula:

Area of rhombus = altitude * side

50=a*12.5

a=4 meters

The sum of three numbers is 3. if the second number is subtracted from the sum of the first and third numbers, the result is 9.
Margaret [11]
Let the three numbers be x, y, and z.

If the sum of the three numbers is 3, then x+y+z=3

If subtracting the second number from the sum of the first and third numbers gives 9, then x+z-y=9

If subtracting the third number from the sum of the first and second numbers gives -5, then x+y-z=-5

This forms the system of equations:
[1] x+y+z=3
[2] x-y+z=9
[3] x+y-z=-5

First, to find y, let's take do [1]-[2]:
x+y+z=3
-x+y-z=-9
2y=-6
y=-3

Then, to find z, let's do [1]-[3]:
x+y+z=3
-x+-y+z=5
2z=8
z=4

Now that you have y and z, plug them into [1] to find x:
x+y+z=3
x-3+4=3
x=2

So the three numbers are 2,-3, and 4.

Newton’s Second Law of Motion states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the force exerted on the obj
aev [14]

The force the same object will exert if it accelerates at a rate of 7 m/s² is 35N

From the question,

We are to determine the force the object will exert.

From the information,

Newton’s Second Law of Motion states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the force exerted on the object

Let acceleration be a

and

Force be F

Then we can write that,

F ∝ a

Then,

Introducing the constant, mass, m

We get

F = ma

Now, we will determine the mass of the object

F = 15 N

a = 3 m/s²

Putting the parameters into the formula, we get

15 = m × 3

∴ m = 15 ÷ 3

m = 5 kg

The mass of the object is 5 kg.

Now, to determine the force the same object will exert if it accelerates at a rate of 7 m/s²

That is,

a = 7 m/s²

and

m = 5 kg

Putting the parameters into the formula, we get

F = 5 × 7

F = 35 N

Hence, the force the same object will exert if it accelerates at a rate of 7 m/s² is 35N
