HELP MEEEEE PLEASEEEEEE

Mathematics
1 answer:
Sindrei [870]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

x=16\dfrac{28}{37}\\ \\y=5\dfrac{1}{3}\\ \\z=7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram shows three paralel lines which divide the large triangle into three similar triangles.

By Thales theorem,

\dfrac{5}{z}=\dfrac{y}{8}=\dfrac{2}{3}

Then

\dfrac{5}{z}=\dfrac{2}{3}\Rightarrow 2z=15,\ z=7.5\\ \\\dfrac{y}{8}=\dfrac{2}{3}\Rightarrow 3y=16,\ y=\dfrac{16}{3}=5\dfrac{1}{3}

From the similarity of triangles,

\dfrac{x}{20}=\dfrac{z+8}{z+8+3}\\ \\\dfrac{x}{20}=\dfrac{7.5+8}{7.5+8+3}\\ \\\dfrac{x}{20}=\dfrac{15.5}{18.5}\\ \\x=20\cdot \dfrac{155}{185}=20\cdot \dfrac{31}{37}=\dfrac{620}{37}=16\dfrac{28}{37}

Lori bought some cookies for $2 each and muffins for $3 each. She bought twice as
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

2 cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

let c represent cookies, m represent muffins. set up a system of equations:

2c+3m=16

m=2c

(the top equation shows that cookies are $2 each, and muffins are $3, and that the total cost is $16. the bottom equation shows that Lori bought twice as many muffins as cookies).

then solve the system of equations by substitution, substituting 2c for m in the top equation:

2c+3(2c)=16

2c+6c=16

8c=16

c=2

this means that lori bought 2 cookies.

What is the length of ST? Please explain your answer
Aliun [14]
We know that

If a tangent segment and a secant segment are drawn to a circle from an exterior point, then the square of the measure of the tangent segment is equal to the product of the measures of the secant segment and its external secant segment. (Intersecting Secant-Tangent Theorem)

so

ST²=RT*QT

RT=7 in

QT=23+7-----> 30 in

ST²=7*30-----> 210

ST=√210-----> 14.49 in


the answer is

RT=14.49 in

A library has five copies of a certain textbook on reserve of which two copies (1 and 2) are hardcover books and the other three
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Since the student have to stop when he gets to w softcover book, then the sample space should always stop at either 3 or 4 or 5. If the students examines the books randomly and stops at a softcover book, here are the possible ways he could carry this out,

S = {3, 4, 5, 13, 14, 15, 23, 24, 25, 123, 124, 125, 213, 214, 215}

2. Since only one book is to be examined then the student must check only one softcover book and end the examining. To do this, either he examines just 3 or 4 or 5. Therefore,

A = {3, 4, 5}

3. We need to pick the possibilities from the sample space that shows that the examining ended at book 5. Therefore,

B = {5, 15, 25, 125, 215}

4. We need to pick possibilities from the sample space that shows that book 1 was not examined. Therefore,

C = {3, 4, 5, 23, 24, 25}

What is slope intercept form?
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line is written in the slope-intercept form, which is: y = mx + b, where m represents the slope and b represents the y-intercept. In our equation, y = 6x + 2, we see that the slope of the line is 6.

Hope this helps :)
