Start by putting two coins on each side of the scale. If one side is higher, then the light coin must be in that pair (use a second weighing to determine which of that pair is the lightest.)
If the initial weighing shows the two pairs to be even, discard those four and go to the three others. Put two of the coins on the scale - one on each side. If one side stays higher, that coin is your light one. If however they are equal, the final unweighed coin must be the lighter coin.

riangle XYZ is translated 4 units up and 3 units left to yield ΔX'Y'Z'. What is the distance between any two corresponding point
tester [92]

Answer:

5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given statement  Δ XYZ is translated 4 units up and 3 units left to yield ΔX'Y'Z' which means that each point in ΔXYZ is moved 4 units up and moved 3 units left.

To find the distance of each corresponding point we will use the Pythagorean theorem which states that the square of the length of the Pythagorean of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the length of other legs

The square of the required distance = 4^2+3^2 = 16+9 =25

By taking root of 25 we get:

√25 = 5

Thus, we can conclude that the the distance between any two corresponding points on ΔXYZ and ΔX′Y′Z′  is 5 units. ..

HELP HELP HELP
Law Incorporation [45]

Based on her results, if she flipped the coins another 50 times, she should expect to flip heads 20 times. If Jessica flips a coin 100 times and gets 40 times heads and the next time she flips a coin 50 times she should get 20 because, 100 divide 2 is 50 so you would have to divide 40 with 2 and get the answer of 20.

Two parts Someone please help!!!!!
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Part one: The function rule for the area of the rectangle is A(x) = 3x² - 2x

Part two: The area of the rectangle is 8 feet² when its width is 2 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that the width of the rectangle is x

∵ The width of the rectangle = x feet

∵ The length of the rectangle is 2 ft less than three times its width

→ That means multiply the width by 3, then subtract 2 from the product

∴ The length of the rectangle = 3(x) - 2

∴ The length of the rectangle = (3x - 2) feet

∵ The area of the rectangle = length × width

∴ A(x) = (3x - 2) × x

→ Multiply each term in the bracket by x

∵ A(x) = x(3x) - x(2)

∴ A(x) = 3x² - 2x

∴ The function rule for the area of the rectangle is A(x) = 3x² - 2x

∵ The rectangle has a width of 2 ft

∵ The width = x

∴ x = 2

→ Substitute x by 2 in A(x)

∵ A(2) = 3(2)² - 2(2)

∴ A(2) = 3(4) - 4

∴ A(2) = 12 - 4

∴ A(2) = 8

∴ The area of the rectangle is 8 feet² when its width is 2 feet

Area as a sum:<br> Area as a Product:<br><br><br> I need the are as a sum Nd a product
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Given:

The area model.

To find:

The area as a sum and area as a product.

Solution:

The four terms of the area model are 2x^2,10x, 3x, 15.

The area as a sum is the sum of all the terms of given area model.

Area as a sum = 2x^2+10x+3x+15

                        = 2x^2+13x+15

The area as a product is the factor form of sum of all the terms of given area model.

Area as a product = 2x^2+10x+3x+15

                        = 2x(x+5)+3(x+5)

                        = (x+5)(2x+3)

Therefore, the area as a sum is 2x^2+13x+15 and the area as a product is (x+5)(2x+3).
