Kara and Lindsey both hike in separate directions from their campsite, with Kara hiking straight to the east and Lindsey hiking

straight north. At
2:00 p.m., Kara hiked twice as far to the east as Lindsey hiked to the north. At 2:30 p.m., Kara had covered another mile, while Lindsey had
covered another half of a mile. If x represents Lindsey's distance, in miles, from the campsite at 2:00p.m., what function could be used to
represent the area of the triangular region formed by the girls' locations and the campsite at 2:30 p.m.?

Answer:

A. f(x)=x^2+x+0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

If x represents Lindsey's distance at 2:00 PM, then 2x represents Kara's distance at 2:00 PM because she walked twice as far as Lindsey. Then adding on the values we got for 2:30 PM, we get that Kara walked a distance of 2x+1 and Lindsey walked a distance of x+0.5 at the time of 2:30 PM. Now, we know that they have formed a right triangle because we are given the directions they walked in; east and north. This allows us to use a formula for the area of a right triangle: 1/2(L x W). Plugging in our values, we get...

1/2(2x+1)(x+0.5)

which simplifies to...

1/2(2x^2+2x+0.5)

which further simplifies to...

x^2+x+0.25

which is our answer.

Can I get some help on this math problem
pogonyaev

Answer:

x=3\sqrt{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Right Triangles</u>

Right triangles have one of its interior angles with a measure of 90°.

In right triangles the Pythagora's Theorem is satisfied.

Being c the longest side (hypotenuse), a and b the shorter sides (the legs), then:

c^2=a^2+b^2

We have modified the image to include some known data. Both triangles are congruent since they share one side, have a right angle, and have the same base length.

This means the value of x can be calculated as the hypotenuse of the triangle 3-6-x:

x^2=3^2+6^2=9+36=45

x=\sqrt{45}=\sqrt{9*5}

\boxed{x=3\sqrt{5}}

Victoria has 2.50 pounds of bell peppers and the cost is $1.25. What is the price for 1 pound of bell peppers?
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

The price of one pound of bell peppers is $0.6.

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is equivalent to the following:

<em>"if 10 oranges cost $20, how much does 1 orange cost? "</em>

and the answer to that question is:

price of 1 orange  = $20/ 10 oranges = $2 per orange.

Put simply, we divided the total price by the total number of items, and we shall do the same thing for the case of bell peppers:

price of 1 pound  = $1.25/ 2.5 pounds = $0.5/ pound.

The price for 1 pound of bell peppers is $0.5.

Convert from Decimal Notation to Scientific Notation
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

Hence, 87,50,000 can be expressed as $8.75 \times 10^{6}$.

Step-by-step explanation:

- Given 87,50,000

- Use given, move the decimal point so that first factor is greater than or equal to 1 but less than 10 .

- Then count n and write in scientific notation.

Step 1 of 1

Consider 87,50,000.

8.75

So, 8.75 lies between 1 & 10 .

Now, Decimal moved to 6 places at left.

$8.75 \times 10^{6}$

So, $87,50,000=8.75 \times 10^{6}$.
