<h3>Answer:</h3>

D) 4 cm, 3 cm

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

Let x represent the length of "another" side. Then "one side" can be represented by (2x -5 cm).

The perimeter of the kite is the sum of two sides of each length:

... P = 14 cm = 2(x) + 2(2x -5 cm)

Dividing by 2 and collecting terms, we have ...

... 7 cm = 3x -5 cm

... 12 cm = 3x

... 4 cm = x . . . . the length of "another" side

... 2(4 cm) -5 cm = 3 cm . . . . the length of "one side"

The two different side lengths are 4 cm and 3 cm.

The paint mixer wants to mix paint that is 30% gloss with paint that is 15% gloss to make 3.75 gallons of paint that is 20% glos

Kipish [7]

The paint mixer should mix 1.238 gallon paint that is 30 % gloss and 2.512 gallon paint that is 15 % gloss to get 3.75 gallon of paint that is 20 % gloss.

In this question we must determine the correct volumes of each paint to obtain a 20 % gloss with paint by means of weighted averages:

$c_{r} = x\cdot c_{a} +(1-x)\cdot c_{b}$ (1)

Where:

$x$ - Proportion of the paint that is 30 % gloss.
$c_{a}$ - Concentration ratio of the paint that is 30 % gloss.
$c_{b}$ - Concentration ratio of the paint that is 15 % gloss.
$c_{r}$ - Resulting concentration ratio

If we know that $c_{a} = 0.3$ , $c_{b} = 0.15$ and $c_{r} = 0.2$ , then the proportion of the paint that is 30 % gloss is:

$0.2 = 0.3\cdot x +(1-x)\cdot 0.15$

$0.2 = 0.15\cdot x+0.15$

$0.15\cdot x = 0.05$

$x = 0.33$

And the quantity of gallons needed of each paint are:

Paint (30 % gloss)

$V_{a} = 0.33\cdot (3.75\,gal)$

$V_{a} = 1.238\,gal$

Paint (15 % gloss)

$V_{b} = V-V_{a}$

$V_{b} = 3.75\,gal-1.238\,gal$

$V_{b} = 2..512\,gal$

The paint mixer should mix 1.238 gallon paint that is 30 % gloss and 2.512 gallon paint that is 15 % gloss to get 3.75 gallon of paint that is 20 % gloss.

Pls, can you help me? thx.<br><img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Ccos%28x%20%2B%20%5Cfrac%7B%5Cpi%7D%7B3%7D%29%20%5Cgeqslant

Veseljchak [2.6K]

For $x$ between $-\pi$ and $\pi$ , we have

$\cos x=\frac{\sqrt2}2=\frac1{\sqrt2}$ when $x=\pm\frac\pi4$ ;
$\cos x=1$ for $x=0$ ; and
$\cos x=0$ for $x=\pm\frac\pi2$

$\cos x$ is continuous over its domain, so the intermediate value theorem tells us that

$\cos x\ge\frac{\sqrt2}2$

is true for $-\frac\pi4\le x\le\frac\pi4$ .

For all $x$ , we take into account that $\cos x$ is $2\pi$ -periodic, so the above inequality can be expanded to

$-\dfrac\pi4\le x+2n\pi\le\dfrac\pi4$

where $n$ is any integer. Equivalently,

$-\dfrac\pi4-2n\pi\le x\le\dfrac\pi4-2n\pi$

To get the corresponding solution set for

$\cos\left(x+\dfrac\pi3\right)\ge\dfrac{\sqrt2}2$

simply replace $x$ with $x+\frac\pi3$ :

$-\dfrac\pi4-2n\pi\le x+\dfrac\pi3\le\dfrac\pi4-2n\pi$

$\implies\boxed{-\dfrac{7\pi}{12}-2n\pi\le x\le-\dfrac\pi{12}-2n\pi}$

Use your shapes to create a new shape with an area of 1 square unit that is not a square. Trace your shape.

Elena-2011 [213]

A new shape with an area of 1 square unit that is not a square can be formed by combining two small triangles

<h3>How to determine the new shape?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Area of square = 1 square unit
Large triangles = 2
Medium triangles = 1
Small triangles = 4

The area of each small triangle is:

Area = 0.5 square unit

Multiply both sides by 2

2 * Area of triangle = 1 square unit

Substitute Area of square = 1 square unit

2 * Area of triangle = Area of square

This means that a new shape can be formed by combining two small triangles
