9514 1404 393

Answer:

  E.  40 and 33

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem tells you the sum of the areas of the smaller squares will match the area of the largest square.

The answer choices have sums of ...

  A: 76; B: 73; C: 96; D: 66; E: 73

So, <em>choices with the correct sum are B and E</em>.

If this question asks you to "choose all that apply," then B & E will be your answer choices.

__

We note that the areas of the smaller squares appear to be not much different in size. If their areas were 23 and 50, the smaller square would be less than half the size of the larger one. So, if the figure is drawn approximately to scale, the choice of <em>40 and 33 is a better choice</em>.

at the city Museum, child admission is $5.10 an adult mission is $8.70. On Friday, 136 tickets were sold for total sales of $970
wariber [46]

Answer:

x = 76 children's tickets sold

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the number of children's tickets sold

Let y = the number of adult tickets sold

x + y = 131

5.5x + 9.8y = 957    Solve the first equation for y

y = 131 - x        Multiply the second equation by 10

55x +98y = 9570     Substitute the above equation into this one.

55x + 98(131-x) = 9570   Use the distributive property

55x + 12838 - 98x = 9570   Solve the equation

-43x = -3268

x= 76 children's tickets sold

1/2(4x-5) + 5/2 = 10

Use the distributive property:

2x - 5/2 + 5/2 = 10

Use addition property:

2x = 10

Divide both sides by 2:

x = 10/2

x = 5

Answer:

You've got it correct, if I'm not mistaken it's either B, or C. I don't remember which answer it was, it was one of those 50/50.

Question 15(Multiple Choice Worth 1 points) (06.04 MC) The expression to find the perimeter of a rectangle is 2(length + width).
vodomira [7]

Answer: 1 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression to find the perimeter of a rectangle is 2(length + width)

Length = 1/3

Width = 1/2

Perimeter = 2( 1/3 + 1/2)

Lowest common factor = 6

Perimeter = 2 [ (2 + 3) / 6]

Perimeter = 2 [ 5/6]

Perimeter = 10/6

Perimeter = 1 4/6 = 1 2/3
