Answer:

Brett can put $\frac{5}{8}$ = 0.625 pounds in each bird cage.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount of bird seed left = $2\frac{1}{2}$ pounds

= $\frac{5}{2}$ pounds

Number of birds in pet shop = 4

So, the share of each bird = $\frac{\textrm{Total available seeds}}{\textrm{Total number of birds in the pet shop}}$

= $\frac{\frac{5}{2} }{4} = \frac{5}{2} \times \frac{1}{4} = \frac{5}{8}$

Hence, Brett can put $\frac{5}{8}$ = 0.625 pounds in each bird cage.

Answer:

1 and 2.

Midpoints calculated, plotted and connected to make the triangle DEF, see the attached.

D= (-2, 2), E = (-1, -2), F = (-4, -1)

3.

As per definition, midsegment is parallel to a side.

Parallel lines have same slope.

<u>Find slopes of FD and CB and compare. </u>

m(FD) = (2 - (-1))/(-2 -(-4)) = 3/2
m(CB) = (1 - (-5))/(1 - (-3)) = 6/4 = 3/2
As we see the slopes are same

<u>Find the slopes of FE and AB and compare.</u>

m(FE) = (-2 - (- 1))/(-1 - (-4)) = -1/3
m(AB) = (1 - 3)/(1 - (-5)) = -2/6 = -1/3
Slopes are same

<u>Find the slopes of DE and AC and compare.</u>

m(DE) = (-2 - 2)/(-1 - (-2)) = -4/1 = -4
m(AC) = (-5 - 3)/(-3 - (-5)) = -8/2 = -4
Slopes are same

4.

As per definition, midsegment is half the parallel side.

<u>We'll show that FD = 1/2CB</u>

FD = $\sqrt{(2+1)^2+(-2+4)^2}$ = $\sqrt{3^2+2^2}$ = $\sqrt{13}$
CB = $\sqrt{(1 + 5)^2+(1+3)^2}$ = $\sqrt{6^2+4^2}$ = 2 $\sqrt{13}$
As we see FD = 1/2CB

<u>FE = 1/2AB</u>

FE = $\sqrt{(-4+1)^2+(-1+2)^2}$ = $\sqrt{3^2+1^2}$ = $\sqrt{10}$
AB = $\sqrt{(-5 -1)^2+(3-1)^2}$ = $\sqrt{6^2+2^2}$ = 2 $\sqrt{10}$
As we see FE = 1/2AB

<u>DE = 1/2AC</u>

DE = $\sqrt{(-2+1)^2+(2+2)^2}$ = $\sqrt{1^2+4^2}$ = $\sqrt{17}$
AC = $\sqrt{(-5 +3)^2+(3+5)^2}$ = $\sqrt{2^2+8^2}$ = 2 $\sqrt{17}$
As we see DE = 1/2AC

15 cm<br> 16.6 cm<br> area<br> cm2

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

357.1573 (If you don't round)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find area of a rectangle is to multiply length by width, which in this situation would be 15 by 16.6, which is equal to 249. Next, we need to add this to the area of the semicircle. The area of a semicircle is equal to 1/2 * pi * radius^2 (Because a semicircle is half a circle and a circle's area is pi * radius^2). The radius is equal to half the diameter, which in this case is 16.6. 16.6/2 = 8.3, so the radius is 8.3. If we plug this into the equation, we get that 108.1573 is the area of the circle (If you use 3.14 as pi). 108.1573 + 249 is equal to 357.1573.
