A torch and a battery cost £2.50 altogether. The torch costs £2.00 more than the battery.

Answer:

\frac{1}{10}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t represent the cost of the torch and b represent the cost of the battery.

The torch and a battery cost £2.50 altogether.

\Rightarrow t+b=2.50

The torch costs £2.00 more than the battery.

\Rightarrow t=b+2.00

We substitute the second equation into the first equation to get;

\Rightarrow b+2.00+b=2.50

\Rightarrow 2b=2.50-2.00

£2.50

\Rightarrow 2b=0.50

\Rightarrow b=0.25

The price of the battery is £0.25

We express this as a fraction of the total cost which is £2.50 to get;

\frac{0.25}{2.5}=\frac{1}{10}

The design for the palladium window shown includes a semicircular shape at the top. The bottom is formed by squares of equal siz
9966 [12]

Answer:

(a)\ Area = 3765.32

(b)\ Area = 4773

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A_1 = 169in^2 --- area of each square

Shade = 4in

See attachment for window

Solving (a): Area of the window

First, we calculate the dimension of each square

Let the length be L;

So:

L^2 = A_1

L^2 = 169

L = \sqrt{169

L=13

The length of two squares make up the radius of the semicircle.

So:

r = 2 * L

r = 2*13

r = 26

The window is made up of a larger square and a semi-circle

Next, calculate the area of the larger square.

16 small squares made up the larger square.

So, the area is:

A_2 = 16 * 169

A_2 = 2704

The area of the semicircle is:

A_3 = \frac{\pi r^2}{2}

A_3 = \frac{3.14 * 26^2}{2}

A_3 = 1061.32

So, the area of the window is:

Area = A_2 + A_3

Area = 2704 + 1061.32

Area = 3765.32

Solving (b): Area of the shade

The shade extends 4 inches beyond the window.

This means that;

The bottom length is now; Initial length + 8

And the height is: Initial height + 4

In (a), the length of each square is calculated as: 13in

4 squares make up the length and the height.

So, the new dimension is:

Length = 4 * 13 + 8

Length = 60

Height = 4*13 + 4

Height = 56

The area is:

A_1 = 60 * 56 = 3360

The radius of the semicircle becomes initial radius + 4

r = 26 + 4 = 30

The area is:

A_2 = \frac{3.14 * 30^2}{2} = 1413

The area of the shade is:

Area = A_1 + A_2

Area = 3360 + 1413

Area = 4773

In isosceles triangle WXY, XY is 13 inches in length and WY is 10 inches. What is the length of XZ? answer asap please
Anna11 [10]
<h3>Answer:  12 inches</h3>

=============================================================

Explanation:

Notice the double tickmarks on segments WZ and ZY. This tells us the two segments are the same length. Let's say they are m units long, where m is a placeholder for a positive number.

That would mean m+m = 2m represents the length of segment WY, but that's equal to 10 as the diagram shows. We have 2m = 10 lead to m = 5 after dividing both sides by 2.

We've shown that WZ and ZY are 5 units long each. In short, we just cut that length of 10 in half.

-----------------------------------

Let's focus on triangle XYZ. This is a right triangle with legs XZ = unknown and ZY = 5. The hypotenuse is XY = 13.

We'll use the pythagorean theorem to find XZ

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(XZ)^2 + (ZY)^2 = (XY)^2

(XZ)^2 + (5)^2 = (13)^2

(XZ)^2 + 25 = 169

(XZ)^2 = 169-25

(XZ)^2 = 144

XZ = sqrt(144)

XZ = 12

Segment XZ is 12 inches long.

Please help this is important<br> -1.5x+12=2.5x-12
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

move all terms to the left:

-1.5x+12-(2.5x-12)=0

get rid of parentheses

-1.5x-2.5x+12+12=0

add all the numbers together, and all the variable.

-4x+24=0

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right

-4x=-24

x=-24/-4 - divide

x=+6
