I'm having a difficult time solving this . . . can someone please help me?! The map shows the route for a race. You are at A, wh

ich is 6000 feet from the first checkpoint B. The second checkpoint C is located at the midpoint between B and the end of the race D. The total race is 3 miles. How far apart are the 2 checkpoints? (Hint: There are 5280 feet in a mile.)
a)9840 feet
b)5280 feet
c)4920 feet
d)6000 feet ...?

(C) is right option.Assuming the race is a straight line,then the whole race is 3x5280=15840feet.15840-6000=9840 is the distance from B to D9840/2=4920 is the distance from B to C.

Would the scale factor 4.2 enlarge,reduce,or preserve
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's look at what scale factors would be able to enlarge, reduce, and preserve first. We will use the point (1,1) as an example.

ENLARGE

When we talk about scale factors, both of our numbers of the ordered pair will be multiplied by that number. To make it bigger, we will multiply it by anything larger than a one, we could have a scale factor such as 2, 100, 579395. etc.!

Dilation of 2

(1,1)⇒(2,2)

REDUCE

To reduce our ordered pair, our scale factor must be a number greater than zero but less than one because it cannot switch quadrants, which is what would happen if we used negative numbers. Our reduced number must be greater than zero. We can use 1/2, 1/4, 1/100, 0.67 etc.

Dilation of 1/2

(1,1)⇒(0.5,0.5)

PRESERVE

What would we multiply an ordered pair by to make it stay the same? One of course! This is the only number that will keep it the same!

Dilation of 1

(1,1)⇒(1,1)

Now, let's think of any scale factor as X and see what rules it has to follow to be enlarging, reducing, or preserving.

ENLARGING SCALE FACTOR: X>1

REDUCING SCALE FACTOR: 0<X<1

PRESERVING SCALE FACTOR: X=1

So, where does 4.2 fall? Well, as you can see, 4.2 is greater than one, so this scale factor would make our point larger.

Therefore, 4.2 would enlarge.

I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day!

I don't know how to do this. If you can help that would be awesome.

Use the volume of a cylinder equation, V = pi*r^2*h to find the volume of the cylinder. To find the answer to the second one, find the volume of the square and subtract the volume of the cylinder from it.

What do skew lines look like
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

"In three-dimensional geometry, skew lines are two lines that do not intersect and are not parallel. A simple example of a pair of skew lines is the pair of lines through opposite edges of a regular tetrahedron."

Solve the inequality. 2(4 + 2x) ≥ 5x + 5? x ≤
murzikaleks [220]
Treat as an equality, except flip the sign direction when yo multiply or divide both sides by  a negative number

first distribute
2(4+2x)<u>></u>5x+5
distribute
8+4x<u>></u>5x+5
minus 4x fro both sides
8<u>></u>x+5
minus 5 from both sides
3<u>></u>x
x<u><</u>3

x is less than or equal to 3
