Answer:

$x=-\frac{68}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{9}{14}=\frac{8}{x+20}\\$

$9(x+20)=8*14\\9x+180=112\\9x=-68\\x=-\frac{68}{9}\\$

Find the coordinate that divides the directed line segment from A(-2,-4) to B(8,1) in the ratio of 2 to 3

zalisa [80]

We have that
A(-2,-4) B(8,1) 

let
M-------> the coordinate that divides the directed line segment from A to B in the ratio of 2 to 3

we know that

A--------------M----------------------B
2 3
distance AM is equal to (2/5) AB
distance MB is equal to (3/5) AB
so

step 1
find the x coordinate of point M
Mx=Ax+(2/5)*dABx
where
Mx is the x coordinate of point M
Ax is the x coordinate of point A
dABx is the distance AB in the x coordinate
Ax=-2
dABx=(8+2)=10
Mx=-2+(2/5)*10-----> Mx=2

step 2
find the y coordinate of point M
My=Ay+(2/5)*dABy
where
My is the y coordinate of point M
Ay is the y coordinate of point A
dABy is the distance AB in the y coordinate
Ay=-4
dABy=(1+4)=5
Mx=-4+(2/5)*5-----> My=-2

the coordinates of point M is (2,-2)

A cone with radius 2 and height 9 has its radius tripled. How many times greater is the volume of the larger cone than the small

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

When increasing the radius 3 times the volume increases 9 times and when it is reduced to a third the volume decreases 9 times

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the formula for the volume of a cone is:

Vc = pi * (r ^ 2) * h

We first calculate the original volume, where the radius is 2 and the height is 9, replacing:

Vc = 3.14 * (2 ^ 2) * 9

Vc = 113.04

Now if the radius is tripled it would be: 2 * 3 = 6, the radius would be 6, replacing:

Vc = 3.14 * (6 ^ 2) * 9

Vc = 1017.36

If we compare:

1017.36 / 113.04 = 9

This means that when the radius is tripled, the volume increases 9 times.

When if re reduces to a third the radius would be: 2/3, replacing:

Vc = 3.14 * ((2/3) ^ 2) * 9

Vc = 12.56

113.04 / 12.56 = 9

Which means that by reducing it to a third the volume becomes 9 times smaller.

PLEASE HELP WILL GIVE FULL PONITS! 3. Using the known angle, what side is known? What side is unknown? Use opposite, adjacent, o

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

The trigonometric ratio that I would use to find the distance from the base of the tower to the keys is the tangent; tan (86°) = height / distance.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can draw a right triangle with angle 86°, opposite leg equal to the height (50 meter) and adjacent leg equal to the distance from the base of the tower to the keys: tan (86°) = 50 m / x

=> x = 50 m / tan(86°)

x = 50 m / 14.30 = 0.98 m

Please help! Correct answer only!

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

$15

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 10 cards and a total possible prize of 30 dollars, the probability for each one is 30/10=3 dollars. And since 5 out of the 10 are even, you can multiply the individual amount by 5 to get a total estimated payout of $15. Hope this helps!
