28+15≠3 (incorrect)

Only A. 5, 18 fits the criteria.

5.

The sum of two numbers is 26. When twice the smaller is subtracted from the larger, the result is 2. Find the numbers.

The numbers need to fit the criteria:

x+y=26
y-2x=2

8+18=26

18-16=2 (correct)

9+17=26

17-18≠2 (incorrect)

7+19=26

19-14≠2 (incorrect)

X = ? y = ? 16 45 degrees

mezya [45]

Let's put more details in the figure to better understand the problem:

Let's first recall the three main trigonometric functions:

$\text{ Sine }\theta\text{ = }\frac{\text{ Opposite Side}}{\text{ Hypotenuse}}$ $\text{ Cosine }\theta\text{ = }\frac{\text{ Adjacent Side}}{\text{ Hypotenuse}}$ $\text{ Tangent }\theta\text{ = }\frac{\text{ Opposite Side}}{\text{ Adjacent Side}}$

For x, we will be using the Cosine Function:

$\text{ Cosine }\theta\text{ = }\frac{\text{ Adjacent Side}}{\text{ Hypotenuse}}$ $Cosine(45^{\circ})\text{ = }\frac{\text{ x}}{\text{ 1}6}$ $(16)Cosine(45^{\circ})\text{ = x}$ $(16)(\frac{1}{\sqrt[]{2}})\text{ = x}$ $\text{ }\frac{16}{\sqrt[]{2}}\text{ x }\frac{\sqrt[]{2}}{\sqrt[]{2}}\text{ = }\frac{16\sqrt[]{2}}{2}$ $\text{ 8}\sqrt[]{2}\text{ = x}$

Therefore, x = 8√2.

For y, we will be using the Sine Function.

$\text{ Sine }\theta\text{ = }\frac{\text{ Opposite Side}}{\text{ Hypotenuse}}$ $\text{ Sine }(45^{\circ})\text{ = }\frac{\text{ y}}{\text{ 1}6}$ $\text{ (16)Sine }(45^{\circ})\text{ = y}$ $\text{ (16)(}\frac{1}{\sqrt[]{2}})\text{ = y}$ $\text{ }\frac{16}{\sqrt[]{2}}\text{ x }\frac{\sqrt[]{2}}{\sqrt[]{2}}\text{ = }\frac{16\sqrt[]{2}}{2}$ $\text{ 8}\sqrt[]{2}\text{ = y}$

Therefore, y = 8√2.

An average American child aged 0-2 years old has about 915 minutes of screen time in 5 days. 6 times the difference between a ch

Alborosie

Answer:

For children ages 2 to 5, limit screen time to one hour a day of high-quality programming. As your child grows, a one-size-fits-all approach doesn't work as well. You'll need to decide how much media to let your child use each day and what's appropriate.

Step-by-step explanation:

For kids aged 2 to 5, screen time should be limited to 1 hour per day, and parents should watch the programs with their child. Also, parents should have times when screens are turned off, and bedrooms should be media-free.

Write the equation of a line passing through (6,-2) and perpendicular to -2x + 3y= -6

____ [38]

Perpendicular lines refers to a pair of straight lines that intercept each other. The slopes of this lines are opposite reciprocal, meaning that it's multiplication is -1.
On this case they give you the equation of a line and a point, and is asked to find the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the given one, and that passes through this point.

-2x+3y=-6 Add 2x in both sides
3y=2x-6 Divide by 3 in both sides to isolate y
y=2/3x-6/3

The slope of the given line is 2/3, which means that the slope of a line perpendicular to this one, needs to be -3/2. Now you need to find the value of b or the y-intercept by substituting the given point into the formula y=mx+b, where letter m represents the slope.

y=mx+b Substitute the given point and the previous slope found
-2=(-3/2)(6)+b Combine like terms
-2=-9+b Add 9 in both sides to isolate b
7=b

The equation that represents the line perpendicular to -2x+3y=-6 and that passes through the point (6,-2), is y=-3/2x+7.

A prism, bases of which are equilateral triangles, circumscribes a sphere of radius 6. What is the volume of the prism?

koban [17]

Answer:

1296√3 cubic units

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the prism will be the product of its base area and its height. Since it circumscribes a sphere with diameter 12, that is the height of the prism.

The central cross section of the sphere is a circle of radius 6, and that will be the size of the incircle of the base. That is, the base will have an altitude of 3 times that incircle radius, and an edge length of 2√3 times that incircle radius. Hence the area of the triangular base is ...

B = (1/2)(6×2√3)(6×3) = 108√3 . . . . . square units

The volume of the prism is then ...

V = Bh = (108√3)(12) = 1296√3 . . . cubic units

_____

Comment on the geometry

The centroid of an equilateral triangle is also the incenter and the circumcenter. The distance of that center from any edge of the triangle is 1/3 the height of the triangle. So, for an inradius of 6, the triangle height is 3×6 = 18. The side length of an equilateral triangle is 2/√3 times the altitude, so is 12√3 units for this triangle.
