old (first visit): 550 grams

second visit: gained 350 grams

third visit: gained 300 grams

new: cora's kitten is now 1200 grams.

-> now, we must find the percent increase between 550 and 1200.

to find percent increase, we use this equation

new - old / old x 100

-> (1200 - 550 / 550) x 100

(650 / 550) x 100

= 1.18 x 100

percent increase: 118%

✧ hope this helped!

If line segment RU is considered the base of parallelogram RSTU, what is the corresponding height of the parallelogram?

klasskru [66]

Given that line segment RU with vertices R(1, 1) and U(4, 5) is considered the base of parallelogram RSTU.

Then, the line segment ST with vertices S(7, 0) and T(10, 4) is the top of the parallelogram.

The corresponding height of the parallelogram is the length of a line with endponts at RU and ST and perpendicular to both RU and ST.

The equation of the line segment RU is given by
$\frac{y-1}{x-1} = \frac{5-1}{4-1} = \frac{4}{3} \\ \\ 3(y-1)=4(x-1) \\ \\ 3y-3=4x-4 \\ \\ 3y=4x-1 \\ \\ y= \frac{4}{3} x- \frac{1}{3}$

Recall that given that two lines are perpendicular, the product of the slope of the two lines is -1.
Let the slope of the line perpendicular to line RU be m, then
$\frac{4}{3} m=-1 \\ \\ m=- \frac{3}{4}$

Thus, the equation of the line perpendicular to RU passing through point (1, 1) is given by
$y-1=- \frac{3}{4} (x-1) \\ \\ 4(y-1)=-3(x-1) \\ \\ 4y-4=-3x+3 \\ \\ 4y=-3x+7 \\ \\ y=- \frac{3}{4} x+ \frac{7}{4}$

The equation of the line segment ST is given by
$\frac{y-0}{x-7} = \frac{4-0}{10-7} = \frac{4}{3} \\ \\ 3y=4(x-7)=4x-28 \\ \\ y= \frac{4}{3} x- \frac{28}{3}$

The line perpendicular to line segment RU intersected line segment ST at the point given by
$- \frac{3}{4} x+ \frac{7}{4}=\frac{4}{3} x- \frac{28}{3} \\ \\ \frac{4}{3} x+\frac{3}{4} x=\frac{7}{4}+\frac{28}{3} \\ \\ \frac{25}{12} x= \frac{133}{12} \\ \\ x= \frac{133}{25} \\ \\ y=\frac{4}{3} \left(\frac{133}{25}\right)- \frac{28}{3}= -\frac{56}{25}$

Thus, the corresponding height of the parallelogram is the line with endpoints
$(1,1) \ and \ \left(\frac{133}{25},-\frac{56}{25}\right)$

Recall that the length of a line passing through points
$(x_1,y_1) \ and \ (x_2,y_2)$
is given by
$l= \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Thus, the length of the line passing through points
$(1,1) \ and \ \left(\frac{133}{25},-\frac{56}{25}\right)$
is given by
$l= \sqrt{\left(\frac{133}{25}-1\right)^2+\left(-\frac{56}{25}-1\right)^2} \\ \\ = \sqrt{\left( \frac{108}{25}\right)^2+\left(- \frac{81}{25} \right)^2}= \sqrt{ \frac{11,664}{625} + \frac{6,561}{625} } \\ \\ = \sqrt{ \frac{729}{25} } = \frac{27}{5} =5.4$

Therefore, the corresponding height of the given parallelogram is 5.4 units

Helene bought 6 bottles of juice. The bottles were on sale at 10 bottles for $12. Which explanation correctly tells how to calcu

Makovka662 [10]

she wanted to buy 6 bottles.
the cost of 10 bottles was $12.
therefore we need to find the cost of one bottle and then find the cost for 6 bottles.
if 10 bottles cost - $ 12
then 1 bottle costs - $ 12 / 10 bottles

here we divided 12 by 10 , cost of 1 bottle is 12/10 to find the cost of 6 bottles we have to multiply by 6 .12 / 10 x 6

correct answer is therefore B. divide 12 by 10 and then mulitply by 6
