Charges 40 dollars. He also charges 30 each hour. How much will he make in 5 hours

In this diagram, which equation could you prove to be true in order to conclude that the lines are parallel?

Y_Kistochka [10]

b/a=c/d Two lines are parallel to each other if they have the same slope. So let's look at the options and see which one matches that statement. b/aâ‹…c/d=â’1 * This is checking to see if the two lines are perpendicular to each other. Almost the exact opposite of parallel. So this is the wrong answer. b/a=c/d * b/a is a legitimate slope. c/d is also a good slope. And they're being checked to see if they're equal to each other. So this is the correct answer. But let's see if the next two options will give us a chuckle or two. b/a=d/c * b/a is OK. d/c almost looks ok, check the figure. And d/c is NOT a slope. The slope is delta Y over delta X. And d/c is delta X over delta Y. The inverse of the slope. So comparing those two values is meaningless. So it's a wrong answer. b/aâ‹…d/c=â’1 * And they're trying the inverse of the slope trick again. WRONG. And they're checking if it's perpendicular. Also wrong. So definitely not a good choice.

what is the distance between point S and U? Round to the nearest tenth of a unit? A 3.3 B 6.4 C 8.1 D 12.0

ki77a [65]

The distance between the points (d) is found using the Pythagorean theorem.

Imagine the two points as defining the hypotenuse of a right triangle. The lengths of the legs of the triangle are the horizontal distance between the points and the vertical distance between the points. The the theorem tells us
d² = 4² + 7²
d² = 16 + 49
d² = 65
d = √65 ≈ 8.1

The distance between the points is
C 8.1

_____
You know that the distance must be longer than the longest leg (7) and must be shorter than the sum of the two legs (4+7=11). The only answer choice between 7 and 11 is 8.1.
