11. Given: TQ bisects ZRTP, QS || PT RT = 30. Find QP, RS and QS

Mathematics

QP=24 cm

RS=11.25 cm

QS=18.75 cm

<u>Explanation</u>:

Given that TQ bisects <RTP

therefore(1)

consider ΔRQS and ΔRPT

QS||PT,RP and RT are transversals

(alternate angles)(2)

comparing (1) and (2)

and triangle SQT is isocelus

Therefore SQ=ST(sides opposite to equal angles in an isocelus triangle)

Therefore <RQS=<RPT(corresponding angles)

<RSQ=<RTP(corresponding angles)

therefore by AA criterion for similarity

ΔRQS~ΔRPT

According to the property of similar triangles

RQ/RP=RS/RT=QS/PT9/RP=X/30=QS/50\\9/RP=X/30=(30-X)/50\\X/30=(30-X)/50\\50X=30(30-X)\\50X=900-30X\\50X+30X=900\\80X=900\\X=900/80=11.25\\RS=11.25 cm\\QS=30-X=30-11.25\\QS=18.75 cm\\9/RP=X/30\\9/RP=11.25/30\\9*30/11.25=RP\\RP=24 cm

If 12 cars are needed o get 36 students to the end of the road with their packs, how many cars will be able to carry 9 students
Alina [70]

Answer:

3 cars

Step-by-step explanation:

If 12 cars are needed to carry 36 students,

<em>12</em><em>c</em><em>a</em><em>r</em><em>s</em><em> = 36</em>

the number of cars to carry 9 students will be:

xcars = 9

cross the two equations

36x = 12 X 9

36x = 108

x = 108/36

x= 3

Therefore, 3 cars are needed to carry 9 students

OR

12 cars will carry 36 students

so 1 car will carry, (36/12)students

therefore, 1 car will carry 3 students

So, for 9 students,

9students = 9/3 = 3

4. Identify the term with coefficient -3 in the expression:<br> 9a3 + 4b2 - 3c + 11
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

-3 is the coefficient of c.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is :

9a³ + 4b² - 3c + 11

We need to find the term with coefficient -3 in the expression.

The coefficient is defined as a number or quantity placed with a variable.

The coefficient of a³ = 9

The coefficient of b² = 4

The coefficient of c = -3

Hence, -3 is the coefficient of c.

  • Slope Formula: m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

Point (18, 0)

Point (10, -5)

<u>Step 2: Find slope </u><em><u>m</u></em>

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope <em>m</em>

  1. Substitute [SF]:                    m=\frac{-5-0}{10-18}
  2. Subtract:                              m=\frac{-5}{-8}
  3. Simplify:                               m=\frac{5}{8}
