A. David notices that the shape of the Ligersville toxic dumpsite is somewhat like a triangle. He claims that he can approximate

the perimeter of the dumpsite without doing any extra measurements. What assumption about side AB of the dumpsite would David need to make in order to justify his claim?
B. Based on the assumption in part A, determine the approximate length of side AB of the dumpsite. Explain your reasoning in at least two sentences.

Answer:

A. Side AB is approximately straight and forms the hypotenuse side of the right triangle

B. 40 yards

C. 96 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

A. The assumption about the curved side AB that David would need to make in order to justify his claim is that the side AB is straight and is the hypotenuse side of the right triangle.

B.  The length of AB is thus;

√(24² + 32²) = 40 yard

C. The approximate perimeter is therefore;

24 + 32 + 40 = 96 yards

Answer:

A) AB is approximately straight line

B) 40 yards

C) 96 years

Step-by-step explanation:

A) For the toxic dump site to be traingular, AB must be a straight line to form hypotneuse of the traingle and that the traingle is right angle triangle

B) assuming a right angle triangle, using pythagoras theorem

H²=P²+B²

H²= 24²+ 32²

H= 40 yards

C) Parameter= 24+32+40=96 yards

Identify the type of function represented by each graph​
mario62 [17]

Answer:

13. Linear Function

12. Absolute Value Function

11. Quadratic Function

10. Constant and Linear Function

Step-by-step explanation:

13. This graph is in Slope-Intercept Form, y = mx + b. The equation of this line is y = x + 1.

12. This graph obviously is an Absolute Value graph because it is in the shape of a "V".

11. This graph is in the shape of a parabola, so it is considered "Quadratic".

10. This line is constant because it is a horizontal line, but it is ALSO considered a linear function<em> </em>because it is in the form of y = mx + b, and the equation of this line is y = -2, where you have NO <em>rate</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>change</em><em> </em>[<em>slope</em>]. This is what you call horizontal lines, zero slopes.

I am joyous to assist you anytime.

If a1=4 and an =2an-1 – 1 then find the value of a4.
musickatia [10]
1 = 4

a2 = -2(a1) - 1
a2 = -2(4) - 1
a2 = -9

a3 = -2(a2) - 1
a3 = -2(9) - 1
a3 = -19

Can you do a4 and a5 and answer?

Determine if the conclusion follows logically from the premises. Is this a valid or invalid argument?
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

Valid Argument

Step-by-step explanation:

An argument is valid if its conclusion follows with certainty from its premises.

Given:

Premise: If it has an engine, I can fix it.

Premise: Cars have engines.

Conclusion: I can fix cars.

The argument is valid since the conclusion follows with certainty from the given premises.

500 in the ratio 2:3
irina1246 [14]
500 in 2:3 is saying that there are five different parts (2 + 3)
This means that 500 needs to be split into five, which is 100.
After that all you need to do is put 2 'sections' on one side and 3 on the other.

For example, 2 : 3 = 2( x 100) : 3( x 100)
                                = 200 : 300
