Answer:

Rebecca has 18 nickels and 27 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of nickels Rebecca has, then 45-x is the number of dimes she has.

The total value of Rebecca's coins is $3.60.

1 nickel - 5 cents

x nickels - 5x cents

1 dime - 10 cents

45-x dimes - 10(45-x) cents

Total x nickels and 45-x dimes is 5x+10(45-x) cents that is $3.60=360 cents. So,

5x+10(45-x)=360

5x+450-10x=360

5x-10x=360-450

-5x=-90

5x=90

x=18

45-x=45-18=27

Line A is represented by the following equation:
Vesnalui [34]
- for line B so the set of equations to have no solutions bc. x+y=2 and so y=2-x 
so from x+y=4 will result y=4-x

so this is the right equation for line B so the set of equations has no solutions

Which of these four sets of side lengths will form a right triangle? Set 1 4 cm, 5 cm, 6 cm Set 2 8 in., 12 in., 20 in. Set 3 10
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:  The correct option is (D) SET 4.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are to select the correct set of side lengths that will form a right-angled triangle.

To form a right-angled triangle, we must have the following relation:

<em>Perpendicular² + Base² = Hypotenuse².</em>

<em>Hypotenuse is the length of the largest side; perpendicular and base are the two legs of the triangle.</em>

SET 1 :  14 cm, 5 cm, 6 cm.  

We have

5^2+6^2=25+36=61,\\\\14^2=196.

Therefore,

<em>Perpendicular² + Base² ≠ Hypotenuse².</em>

So, this set will not form a right-angled triangle.

SET 2 :  8 in., 12 in., 20 in.  

We have

8^2+12^2=64+144=208,\\\\20^2=400.

Therefore,

<em>Perpendicular² + Base² ≠ Hypotenuse².</em>

So, this set will not form a right-angled triangle.

SET 3 :  10 mm, 20 mm, 30 mm.  

We have

10^2+20^2=100+400=500,\\\\30^2=900.

Therefore,

<em>Perpendicular² + Base² ≠ Hypotenuse².</em>

So, this set will not form a right-angled triangle.

SET 4 :  12 ft, 16 ft, 20 ft.  

We have

12^2+16^2=144+256=400,\\\\20^2=400.

Therefore,

<em>Perpendicular² + Base² = Hypotenuse².</em>

So, this set will form a right-angled triangle.

Thus, the SET 4 will form a right-angles triangle.

Option (D) is correct.
