If segment PD is parallel to segment CR then triangle PDX is similar to triangle CRX, due to angle PXD and angle CXR being congruent by the vertical angle theorem, and angle PDX and angle CRX being congruent by the alternate interior angle theorem, these 2 triangles are similar by the A.A similarity postulate.
Answer: The Perimeter of the rectangle, P= 16v −24w
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2( L +W) = 2L + 2W
The width of a rectangle is given as (3v-3w) centimeters,
its length is given as (5v-9w) centimetres
The Perimeter,P will now be = 2L + 2W
P=2( 3v-3w) + 2( 5v-9w)
P=6v −6w + 10v - 18 w
adding like terms
P=6v + 10v −6w −18 w
P= 16v −24w
Answer:
$95, $115, $135, $155
Step-by-step explanation:
If the first person gets x dollars:
the next person gets 20 more, so x + 20 dollars
the next person gets x + 40 dollars
and the last person gets x + 60 dollars
We add all these allocations together, and we get $500
x + (x + 20) + (x + 40) + (x + 60) = 500
Combine like terms
4x + 120 = 500
Subtract 120 on both sides
4x = 380
Divide by 4 on both sides
x = 95
So the first person gets $95.
The second person must get $115
The third must get $135
And the fourth must get $155
Checking our work:
95 + 115 + 135 + 155 = 500
Answer:
The maximum amount of profit the company can make is $854.08
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> the selling price of each widget
y ---> the amount of profit
we have
This is the equation of a vertical parabola open downward (because the leading coefficient is negative)
The vertex represent a maximum
so
The y-coordinate of the vertex represent the maximum amount of profit the company can make
using a graphing tool
Find out the vertex of the quadratic equation
The vertex is the point (25.83,854.08)
see the attached figure
The y-coordinate of the vertex is 854.08
therefore
The maximum amount of profit the company can make is $854.08
