Answer:

RS = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Points R, S, and T are collinear, and S is between R and T, in addition, RS = 2x-4, ST = 3x+2, and RT = 13. Find the value of RS

Hence:

RS + ST = RT

2x - 4 + 3x + 2 = 13

2x + 3x - 4 + 2 = 13

5x - 2 = 13

5x = 13 + 2

5x = 15

x = 15/5

x = 3

To find the value of RS

RS = 2x-4

RS = 2 × 3 - 4

RS = 6 - 4

RS = 2

Here’s what you can do to make this very simple. Consider that the “missing” space between the rectangles isn’t there. Then, find the area:

10 x 9 = 90 mm

Now, find the area of the “missing” part.

5 x 2 = 10 mm

Finally, you deduct the missing part from the complete rectangle!

90 - 10 = 80 mm

The area of this whole thing is 80 mm!

The value of a house decreases at a steady rate of 20% each year. What is the total percentage loss (to the nearest integer) in
Westkost [7]

Answer: The total percentage loss would be 67%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Rate of decline each year = 20%

Number of years = 5

We need to find the total percentage loss in value of the house at the end of 5 years.

So, Total percentage loss would be

1-(1-\dfrac{r}{100})^5\\\\=1-(1-\dfrac{20}{100})^5\\\\=1-(\dfrac{4}{5})^5\\\\=1-(0.8)^5\\\\=0.67\\\\\approx 67%

Hence, the total percentage loss would be 67%.

Hello : 
let the slope : a    and ; b the slope of the line : 5x - 3y = 8
<span>the line that is perpendicular to 5x-3y=8  so : a×b = - 1 
but : 
5x - 3y = 8...      y = (5/3)x - 8/3  when : b = 5/3
</span><span> the slope intercept form of the equation of the line that is perpendicular

  • The F-connector is a coaxial RF connector commonly used for "wireless" terrestrial television, cable television, and common for satellite television and cable modems, usually with RG-6/U cable or with RG -59 / U.

  •  F connector is also known as threaded connector. There are two main types: 7mm (6.8mm) is the most common and  used in coaxial cable, and 5mm connector  is used in  thin coaxial cable commonly used in satellite system.

  • The F-connector is an accessory that connects a coaxial cable to an electronic device or  wall outlet.

  • Type F connectors are highly mechanical and electrically stable coaxial screw connectors  for cable television (CATV), set-top boxes, cable modems and satellite television applications up to 4 GHz
