A wood stove burns 4 same sized logs in 2 hours how many logs does the stove burn in 8 hours

2 answers:

8 0

By using the information you have, you can use make a proportion to solve this. You burn 4 logs in 2 hours or 4/2. You are comparing this to your unknown number, x, over 8 hours. So it looks like this 4/2 = x/8. You read it as four logs in two hours is x logs in eight hours. To solve you cross multiply. You do 2 times x and 4 times eight. That would be 2x= 32. Your goal is getting x alone, so divide each side by 2. Your answer is x= 16 logs in eight hours. You can solve this different and maybe easier ways but this is the best way if you want to get used to going this in algebra. Hope that helps! :)

16 because 2 divided by 8 = 4 and 4×4 =16

What are the coordinates of the circumcenter of this triangle?

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

The coordinates of the circumcenter of this triangle are (3,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The circumcenter is the point where the perpendicular bisectors of a triangle intersect

we have the coordinates

$A(-2,5),B(-2,-1),C(8,-1)$

step 1

Find the midpoint AB

The formula to calculate the midpoint between two points is equal to

$M=(\frac{x1+x2}{2},\frac{y1+y2}{2})$

substitute the values

$M=(\frac{-2-2}{2},\frac{5-1}{2})$

$M_A_B=(-2,2)$

step 2

Find the equation of the line perpendicular to the segment AB that passes through the point (-2,2)

Is a horizontal line (parallel to the x-axis)

$y=2$ -----> equation A

step 3

Find the midpoint BC

The formula to calculate the midpoint between two points is equal to

$M=(\frac{x1+x2}{2},\frac{y1+y2}{2})$

substitute the values

$M=(\frac{-2+8}{2},\frac{-1-1}{2})$

$M_B_C=(3,-1)$

step 4

Find the equation of the line perpendicular to the segment BC that passes through the point (3,-1)

Is a vertical line (parallel to the y-axis)

$x=3$ -----> equation B

step 5

Find the circumcenter

The circumcenter is the intersection point between the equation A and equation B

$y=2$ -----> equation A

$x=3$ -----> equation B

The intersection point is (3,2)

therefore

The coordinates of the circumcenter of this triangle are (3,2)

Idk what all these means need help plzzzzzx

Schach [20]

It is d bexause every 6 is moved to the left for every one and it isnt abexause if you add 6 it would instwad go 6 12 18 24 and so on and its no c because if you move it to the right the # would decrease and obviously not b because if you subtract 0 every time it would stay as the same number
