Write a rational number in fraction form that is equivalent to -1.\overline{5}

Mathematics

lorasvet [3.4K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

\dfrac{-14}{9}.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given number is -1.\overline{5}.

We need to find a rational number in fraction form that is equivalent to given number.

Let x=-1.\overline{5}

x=-1.555...     ...(1)

Multiply both sides by 10.

10x=-15.555...  ...(2)

Subtracting (1) from (2), we get

10x-x=-15.555...-(-1.555...)

9x=-14

Divide both sides by 9.

x=\dfrac{-14}{9}

Therefore, the required rational number is \dfrac{-14}{9}.

What are the measures of the angles in triangle ABC?
VMariaS [17]

Complete question :

A right triangle has side lengths AC = 7 inches, BC = 24 inches, and AB = 25 inches.

What are the measures of the angles in triangle ABC?

a) m∠A ≈ 46.2°, m∠B ≈ 43.8°, m∠C ≈ 90°

b) m∠A ≈ 73.0°, m∠B ≈ 17.0°, m∠C ≈ 90°

c) m∠A ≈ 73.7°, m∠B ≈ 16.3°, m∠C ≈ 90°

d) m∠A ≈ 74.4°, m∠B ≈ 15.6°, m∠C ≈ 90°

Answer:

c) m∠A ≈ 73.7°, m∠B ≈ 16.3°, m∠C ≈ 90°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length AC = 7 inches

Length BC = 24 inches

Length AB = 25 inches

Since it is a right angle triangle,

m∠C = 90°

To find the measures of the angle in ∠A and ∠B, we have :

For ∠A:

SinA = \frac{BC}{AB}

SinA = \frac{24}{25}

SinA = 0.96

A = Sin^-^1 = 0.96

∠A = 73.7°

For ∠B:

SinB = \frac{AC}{AB}

SinB = \frac{7}{25}

SinB = 0.28

B = Sin^-^1 = 0.96

∠B = 16.26 ≈ 16.3°

Therefore,

m∠A = 73.7°

m∠B = 16.3°

m∠C = 90°

Please help, I'm not sure if I'm right.
Luden [163]

To prove the QRST is a parallelogram.

Step 1: Given \angle T \cong \angle R and \overline{Q R} \| \overline{T S}

Step 2: \angle R Q S \text { and } \angle T S Q are alternate interior angles.

Definition of alternate interior angles

Step 3: Alternate interior angle theorem:

If two parallel lines cut by a transversal then the alternate interior angles are congruence.

QR and TS are parallel lines cut by QS.

Therefore, \angle R Q S \cong \angle T S Q

Step 4: Reflexive property of congruence:

Any geometric figure is congruence to itself.

Therefore, \overline{Q S} \cong \overline{Q S}

Step 5: By the above steps

\angle T \cong \angle R (Angle), \angle R Q S \cong \angle T S Q (Angle) and \overline{Q S} \cong \overline{Q S} (Side)

Hence \triangle Q T S \cong \triangle S R Q (by ASA congruence theorem)

Step 6: Corresponding parts of congruence triangles are congruent.

\Rightarrow  \ \overline{Q R} \cong \overline{T S}

Step 7: Property of parallelogram:

If one pair of opposite sides are both parallel and congruent, then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.

Hence Quadrilateral QRST is a parallelogram.

Demetrio compró dos litros de leche,si utilizó 3 cuartos de litro en un postre ¿cuanta leche le quedo?
ikadub [295]

Answer:

1.25 litros.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dado que Demetrio compró dos litros de leche, y luego utilizó 3 cuartos de litro en un postre, para determinar cuánta leche le quedó se debe realizar el siguiente cálculo matemático:

2 - 3/4 = X

2 - 0.75 = X

1.25 = X

Así, tras utilizar 3 cuartos de litro de leche en un postre, a Demetrio le quedaron 1.25 litros de leche.
