Answer:

Option C. 32/3

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent an inverse variation if it can be expressed in the form p*x=k or p=k/x

we know that

For p=14, x=16

Find the value of k

k=p*x

substitute the values

k=(14)*(16)=224

so

The equation is equal to

p=\frac{224}{x}

Find the value of p when x=21

substitute the value of x in the equation

p=\frac{224}{21}    

simplify

Divide by 7 both numerator and denominator

p=\frac{32}{3}

A dining set is priced at $785. If the sales tax is 7 percent, what is the cost to purchase the dining set? Round to the nearest
Sati [7]

Answer:

$839.95

Step-by-step explanation:

The dining set costs 785.

The sale tax is 7%

This means that the tax costs 7% of 785.

Sales tax: 785*0.07=54.95

Add to original price to find the total price.

54.95+785=839.95

The cost to purchase the dining set is $839.95

The altitude drawn to the hypotenuse of a right triangle divides the hypotenuse into segments such that their lengths are in rat
Zanzabum

In geometry, it would be always helpful to draw a diagram to illustrate the given problem.

This will also help to identify solutions, or discover missing information.

A figure is drawn for right triangle ABC, right-angled at B.

The altitude is drawn from the right-angled vertex B to the hypotenuse AC, dividing AC into two segments of length x and 4x.


We will be using the first two of the three metric relations of right triangles.

(1) BC^2=CD*CA (similarly, AB^2=AD*AC)

(2) BD^2=CD*DA

(3) CB*BA = BD*AC


Part (A)

From relation (2), we know that

BD^2=CD*DA

substitute values

8^2=x*(4x) => 4x^2=64, x^2=16, x=4

so CD=4, DA=4*4=16 (and AC=16+4=20)


Part (B)

Using relation (1)

AB^2=AD*AC

again, substitute values

AB^2=16*20=320=8^2*5

=>

AB

=sqrt(8^2*5)

=8sqrt(5)

=17.89 (approximately)

Answer: 38568 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume(V) = lwh

Where l=length;w=width;h=height

V = 50 * 25 1/2 * 30 1/4

V = 38,568 3/4 or 38,568.75
