Answer: B) BC=4 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: In △ABC , AB=4 inch ,AC=4 in. , and m∠A=60°

⇒ AB=AC= 4 inches

⇒ △ABC is an isosceles triangle.

⇒ m∠A=60°=m∠B [angles opposite to the equal sides of a triangle are equal]

Now by angle sum property,

m∠A+m∠B+m∠C=180°

⇒60°+60°+m∠C=180°

⇒ m∠C=180°-120°

⇒ m∠C=60°

⇒ △ABC is an equilateral triangle.

⇒ BC= 4 inches [sides of an equilateral triangles are equal]

⇒ B is the right answer.

Steven wants to keep track of how many miles he walks in a year. He expects to walk 5 miles per day, and he has

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

The fourth choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because since 90 miles is basically counted as your first day, you do the number of days, n, minus 1 and then multiply it by 5 to find the number of miles walked after the first day. Then you add it to 90.

Describe all of the transformations occurring as the parent function f(x) = x^3 is transformed into g(x) = -0.5(3(x+4))^3 -8

hodyreva [135]

Step-by-step explanation:

The translations of the typical functions are

$y = a(bx + c) + d$

Where a is the vertical translation,

If a is greater than 1 or less than -1, we have a vertical stretch

If a is between -1 and 1 , we have a vertical compressions or shrink.

If a is negative, we have a negative reflection across the x axis.

If b is greater than 1 or less than -1, we have a horizontal compression or shrink

If b is between -1 and 1, we have a horizontal stretch

If b is negative, we have a reflection about the y axis,

If c is negative, we have a translation to the right c units

If c is positive, we have a translation to the left c units

If d is positive, we have a translation upward d units

If d is negative, we have a translation downward d units.

Here in this problem, our parent function is x^3.

So I would do the following transformations.

Reflect about the x axis
Vertical Shrink by a factor of 1/2
Horizontal Shrink by a factor of 3
Shift to the left 4 units
Shift downward 8 units.

The figures below are made out of circles, semicircles, quarter circles, and a square. Find the area and the perimeter of each f

WITCHER [35]

Answer:

Part 1) $A=36(\pi-2)\ cm^2$

Part 2) $P=6(\pi+2\sqrt{2})\ cm$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The picture of the question in the attached figure</em></u>

Part 1) Find the area

we know that

The area of the shape is equal to the area of a quarter of circle minus the area of an isosceles right triangle

so

$A=\frac{1}{4}\pi r^{2}-\frac{1}{2}(b)(h)$

we have that the base and the height of triangle is equal to the radius of the circle

$r=12\ cm\\b=12\ cm\\h=12\ cm$

substitute

$A=\frac{1}{4}\pi (12)^{2}-\frac{1}{2}(12)(12)\\A=(36\pi-72)\ cm^2$

simplify

Factor 36

$A=36(\pi-2)\ cm^2$

Part 2) Find the perimeter

The perimeter of the figure is equal to the circumference of a quarter of circle plus the hypotenuse of the right triangle

The circumference of a quarter of circle is equal to

$C=\frac{1}{4}(2\pi r)=\frac{1}{2}\pi r$

substitute the given values

$C=\frac{1}{2}\pi (12)\\C=6\pi\ cm$

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

The hypotenuse of right triangle is equal to

$AC=\sqrt{12^2+12^2}\\AC=\sqrt{288}\ cm$

simplify

$AC=12\sqrt{2}\ cm$

Find the perimeter

$P=(6\pi+12\sqrt{2})\ cm$

simplify

Factor 6

$P=6(\pi+2\sqrt{2})\ cm$
