Answer:

180\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If triangles EFG and QRS are similar

then

the scale factor is equal to the measure of the smallest side of triangle QRS divided by the smallest side of triangle EFG

so

Let

x-------> the smallest side of triangle QRS

y-------> the smallest side of triangle EFG

z-------> the scale factor

we have

x=140\ units, y=56\ units

substitute the values

z=\frac{140}{56}

z=2.5

Find the length of the longest side of QRS

The length of the longest side of QRS is equal to multiply the scale factor by the length of the longest side of EFG

so

2.5*72=180\ units

The longest side in the triangle is 180, as you multiply 18 by 10.

Hope I helped!

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

With the filled in point means equal to but everything from there is less than. So the first part is equal to or less than 1. The second part is not equal with the open point so everything is greater than 1.

Una parte de 25 000 dólares se invierte al 10% de interés, otra parte al 12 % y el resto al 16%. El ingreso anual total de las t
Drupady [299]

Answer:

  • $5000 at 10%, $10000 at 12% and 10000 at 16%

Step-by-step explanation:

  • <em>One part of $ 25,000 is invested at 10% interest, another part at 12%, and the rest at 16%. The total annual income from the three investments is $ 3,200. Also, the income from the investment at 16% is equal to the income from the other two investments combined. How much was invested at each interest rate?</em>

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

Let the parts be x, y and z

<u>As per given we get below system of equations:</u>

  • x + y + z = 25000
  • 0.1x + 0.12y + 0.16z = 3200
  • 0.1x + 0.2y = 0.16z

<u>Substitute 0.1x + 0.2y in the second equation:</u>

  • 0.16z + 0.16z = 3200
  • 0.32z = 3200
  • z = 3200/0.32
  • z = 10000

<u>Now we have:</u>

  • x + y + 10000 = 25000 ⇒ x + y = 15000

and

  • 0.1x + 0.12y + 0.16*10000 = 3200 ⇒ 0.1x + 0.12y = 1600

<u>Multiply the second equation and then subtract the first one:</u>

  • 10(0.1x + 0.12y) = 10(1600) ⇒ x + 1.2y = 16000
  • x + 1.2y - (x + y) = 16000 - 15000
  • 0.2y = 1000
  • y = 10000

Then

  • x = 15000 - 10000 = 5000

<u>So the parts are:</u>

  • $5000 at 10%, $10000 at 12% and 10000 at 16%

An angle measures 114° more than the measure of its supplementary angle. What is the measure of each angle
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

33º and 147º

Step-by-step explanation:

x + (x + 114) = 180

2x + 114 = 180

2x = 66

x = 33º

x + 114 = 147º

Which statement describes the behavior of the function f(x)=<br> 2x<br> 3?<br> 1- x2
hjlf

Answer:

              2x

f(x) = -------------- or   f(x) = 2x / (1-x^2)

          1 - x^2

to eliminate any ambiguity.  The graph of this function passes thru the origin (0,0) and has vertical asymptotes at x = -1 and x = + 1.  The function is negative on (-1,0) and positive on (0,1).  

Additionally, there are two horizontal asymptotes.   As x grows large and negative, f(x) approaches zero from above.  As x grows large and positive, f(x) approaches zero from below.

A homeowner wants to insulate the new recreation room in her basement. She has been told that 3' of insulation would do the job.
Westkost [7]

Answer:

6 rolls

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Height of wall = 9'

Width of walls = 13', 13', 18' and 18'

Dimension of roll = 3' x 2' x 50'

Now,

Total area of the walls = 9' × 13' + 9' × 13' + 9' × 18' + 9' × 18'

= 117 + 117 + 162 + 162

= 558 ft²

Area of each roll = 2' × 50'

= 100 ft²

Thus,

Number of rolls required = [ Total area of the walls  ] ÷ [ Area of each roll ]

= 558 ft² ÷ 100 ft²

= 5.58 ≈ 6 rolls
