Boy record = 25 feet 8 inches
Girl record = 19 feet 19 inches
Boy record / Girl record = 25 feet 8 inches / 19 feet 19 inches
Change the feet into inches
1 feet = 12 inches
25 feet = 25* 12 = 300 inches + 8 inches = 308 inches

19 feet = 19 * 12= 228 inches + 19 inches = 247 inches
Boy record / Girl record = 308 inches / 247 inches
Boy record / Girl record = 1.246 inches
Boy record = 1.246 Girl record
So
it is 1.246 times greater than girls record.

ABCD- parallelogram, If the perimeter of Triangle CPQ is 15cm, Find the perimeter of triangle BAQ. Find the perimeter of triangl
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral (has 4 sides and 4 angle) with two pair of parallel and opposite sides. Opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel and equal.

Given parallelogram ABCD:

AB = CD = 18 cm; BC = AD = 8 cm

∠P = ∠P, ∠PDA = ∠PCQ (corresponding angles are equal).

Hence ΔPCQ and ΔPDA are similar by angle-angle similarity theorem. For similar triangles, the ratio of their corresponding sides equal. Therefore:

\frac{CD}{PC}= \frac{AD}{CQ}\\\\\frac{18}{6}=\frac{8}{x}  \\\\x=\frac{6*8}{18}=\frac{8}{3}\ cm

Perimeter of CPQ = CP + CQ + PQ

15 = 6 + 8/3 + PQ

PQ = 15 - (6 + 8/3)

PQ = 6.33

∠CQP = ∠AQB (vertical angles), ∠QCP = ∠QBA (alternate angles are equal).

Hence ΔCPQ and ΔABQ are similar by angle-angle similarity theorem

\frac{AQ}{QP}=\frac{AB}{CP}  \\\\\frac{AQ}{6.33} =\frac{18}{6} \\\\AQ=\frac{18}{6}*6.33\\\\AQ = 19

\frac{BQ}{CQ}=\frac{AB}{CP}  \\\\\frac{BQ}{8/3} =\frac{18}{6} \\\\BQ=\frac{18}{6}*\frac{8}{3} \\\\BQ =8

Perimeter of BAQ = AB + BQ + AQ = 18 + 8 + 19 = 45cm

PA = AQ + PQ = 19 + 6.33 = 25.33

PD = CD + DP = 18 + 6 = 24

Perimeter of PDA = PA + PD + AD = 24 + 25.33 + 8 = 57.33 cm

faust18 [17]
9 dollars is 4 dollars.
Let's find the percent form of the discount
=> 4 dollars / 9 dollars =  0.44
Now, let's convert it to percentage
=> 0.44 * 100% = 44%
Thus the discount is 44%

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Donna swims 8 km each week.

Step-by-step explanation:

To be able to find the answer, you have to consider that 1 km is equal to 1000 meters and with this, you can use  rule of three to find the kilometers in 8000 meters:

1 km  →  1000 meters

  x    ←   8000 meters

x=(1*8000)/1000=8 km

According to this, the answer is that Donna swims 8 km each week.
