Kyla used 550 grams of wool to knit a sweater, a hat, and a scarf. For the hat she used 5 times less wool than the sweater and 5

grams more than the scarf. How much did each item require.

This is the concept of algebra, to calculate the proportion of wool in each item we proceed as follows;
Let the amount of wool used for hat be x
amount of wool in sweater will be 5x
the amount of wool used in scarf will be x-5
 therefore the total amount of wool will be:
x+5x+(x-5)=550
x+5x+x-5=550
7x-5=550
7x=550+5
7x=555
hence;
x=555/7
x=79
the amount used in hat x=79g
amount used in sweater 5x=395g
amount used in scarf=79-5=74g

aliina [53]

Answer:

- 4.2 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

If the drop was from temp 0 at 8 pm to temp -16.8 at midnight (4 hours later)

then,the drop is given by the rate: -16.8/4 = - 4.2 degrees per hour

Therefore, at 9 pm the temperature was:

0 degrees - 4.2 degrees = - 4.2 degrees

Which additional information could be used to prove that the triangles are congruent using AAS or ASA? Check all that apply.
Ad libitum [116K]

Consider the given triangles.

Given: \angle C \cong \angle Q

ASA congruence criterion states that if two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

AAS congruence criterion states that if two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Consider the first part:

1. In triangles ABC and QPT

If we take \angle B \cong \angle P , BC \cong PQ along with the given condition.

Then the triangles are congruent by ASA congruence criterion.

2. If we take \angle A \cong \angle T and AC= TQ=3.2 along with the given condition.

Then the triangles are congruent by ASA congruence criterion.

3. As,\angle C \cong \angle Q, \angle A \cong \angle T and \angle B \cong \angle P, so the triangles can not be congruent.

4. If we take \angle A \cong \angle T and BC \cong PQ along with the given condition.

Then the triangles are congruent by AAS congruence criterion.

5. If we take AC=TQ=3.2 and CB=QP=3.2 along with the given condition, then the triangles are congruent but by SAS congruence criteria neither by ASA nor AAS congruence criterion.

y = 3x

Substitute the point into the equation

2 = 3*0

2 =0

This is not true so the point is not a solution
