Answer:

16 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

If it takes 63 minutes to paint 9 walls then it means for every wall, it takes 63/9=7 minutes

Since it is 4 people working for 7 mins, the individual rate is 4/7 minutes per person

When we have 7 people, then the number minutes they take will be 7*4/7=4 minutes per wall

4 min per wall for 4 walls then total time will be 4*4=16 minutes

QUESTION 1

In figure A, the area of the bigger square is $625\:units^2$ . This means that the length of this square is the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle formed, which is $25\:units$ .

The area of the two smaller squares are $576\:units^2$ and $49\:units^2$ .

The length of these two squares form the two shorter legs of the right angle triangle, which are $24$ and $7$ units respectively.

Therefore we can write the equation, $576+49=625$ .

This implies that, $24^2+7^2=25^2$

We can see that the sum of the squares of the two shorter legs equals the square of the longer side which is the hypotenuse and this what the Pythagoras theorem says.

But in fig. B,

$5^2+4^2\ne 6^2$

Therefore the correct answer is Fig A.

QUESTION 2

See diagram.

We introduce the two lines as shown in the diagram.

From Pythagoras' Theorem,

$|AB|^2=|AC|^2+|BC|^2$

But $|AC|=|7-3|=4$ units.

and

$|BC|=|8-2|=6$ units.

This implies that,

$|AB|^2=4^2+6^2$

$|AB|^2=16+36$

$|AB|^2=52$

$|AB|=\sqrt{52}$

$|AB|=2\sqrt{13}$

$|AB|=7.2$ to the nearest tenth.

QUESTION 3

The numbers $3,4$ and $5$ form a Pythagorean triplet because $3^2+4^2=5^2$ .

If these numbers represent the side lengths of a triangular fence, then the triangular fence must be a right angle triangle.

The correct answer is B

Yes,because $3^2+4^2=5^2$ .

QUESTION 4

See graph.

We want to find the image of the triangle with vertices A(-5,-4), B(-2,-4), and C(-5,-1) after a reflection in the x-axis.

The mapping for this transformation is

$P(x,y)\rightarrow P'(x,-y)$ .

We just have to negate the y-coordinates.

$A(-4,-5)\rightarrow A'(-4,5)$ .

$B(-4,-1)\rightarrow B'(-4,1)$ .

$C(-5,-1)\rightarrow C'(-5,1)$ .

Answer:

270 coins

n + p

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Number of nickels = 140

Number of pennies = 130

The total numbers coins had:

Number of Nickel + number of pennies

140 + 130 = 270 coins

If Number of nickels = n ; number of pennies = p

The total number of coins :

Number of Nickel + number of pennies

n + p

Answer:

(1, 35) means that $35 is the cost per hour of hiring a face painter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that this is a linear function that goes through the origin and also through the point (5, 175) which according to the data plotted in both axis, means that for 5 hours of service, the cost is $175.

One can calculate the slope of this line as that of the segment that joins (0, 0) with (5, 175) as:

slope = (175 - 0) / (5 - 0) = 175 / 5 = 35 / 1

Notice as well that such slope reads the amount of dollars to hire a face painter for ONE hour (so it is the rate per hour for hiring a face painter).

So the point (1 , y) should be completed as: (1, 35) and means "the rate per hour for hiring a face painter."
