P = a + b + c
p = 2400
a = longest = 2c - 200
b = middle = a - 200 = 2c - 200 - 200 = 2c - 400

2400 = (2c - 200) + (2c - 400) + c
2400 = 5c - 600
2400 + 600 = 5c
3000 = 5c
3000/5 = c
600 = c <== shortest side

a = 2c - 200.....= 2(600) - 200 = 1200 - 200 = 1000<== longest side
b = 2c - 400...= 2(600) - 400 = 1200 - 400 = 800 <== middle side

If the angle NME = x+97, the angle EML = x+66, and the angle NML = 141, find the angle EML
defon

Answer:

∠ EML = 94°

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attached diagram.

The three angles ∠ NME, ∠ EML and ∠ NML together make 360°.

Now, ∠ NME = x + 97, ∠ EML = x + 66 and ∠ NML = 141°

Hence, (x + 97) + ( x + 66) + 141 = 360

⇒ 2x + 304 = 360

⇒ 2x = 56

⇒ x = 28

So, ∠ EML = x + 66 = 28 + 66 = 94° (Answer)

Use the rules of exponents to evaluate or simplify. Write without negative exponents. 1/4^-1/2 = ___ a0
Nastasia [14]

For this case we have, by definition:


a^{-b} =\frac{1}{a ^ b}

So, we have:


\frac{1}{4}^{-\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{1}{(\frac{1}{4})^{\frac{1}{2}}}

On the other hand we have that by definition:


a^{\frac{1}{2}}=\sqrt{a}

Thus, the expression can be written as:


\frac{1}{\sqrt {\frac{1}{4}}} =

\frac{1}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{4}}}

\frac{1}{\frac{1}{2}}

\frac{1*2}{1*1}=2

So, we have:


\frac{1}{4}^{-\frac{1}{2}}= 2

Answer:


\frac{1}{4}^{-\frac{1}{2}}= 2

NNADVOKAT [17]

All we need to do is turn the mixed number into an improper fraction.

7 1/6 = 43/6

Therefore, there are 43 sixths in 7 1/6.

Best of Luck!

A scientist runs an experiment involving a culture of bacteria. She notices that the mass of the bacteria in the culture increas
Genrish500 [490]

The growth factor for the mass of bacteria is 2.8 in 1 week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

It is given that the bacteria in the culture increase by 260% per week. Now we assign values to get a better understanding. If there were 1,000 bacteria in the culture at the start of the week there would be 1,000 + 260% at the week's end = 1,000 + 2,600 = 3,600 at the week's end.

Step 2:

To calculate the growth factor, we calculate the difference between the present value and the past value and divide it by the past value.

Here the past value is 1,000 and the present value is 2,600.

Growth factor = \frac{difference in values}{past value} = \frac{3,600-1,000}{1000} = \frac{2,600}{1,000} = 2.6.

So the growth factor is 2.6 per week.
