let's call G the intersection point of EF & BC.

according to the thales' theorem:

\frac{eg}{ef}  =  \frac{bc}{ad}

and EF= EG+GF=EG+3

\frac{eg}{eg + 3}  =  \frac{7}{21}

21eg = 7eg + 21

14eg = 21

eg =  \frac{21}{14}  =  \frac{3}{2}  = 1.5

length of the altitude of △AED=EF

EF=EG+GF=1.5+3=4.5

A hot air balloon holds 3,249 cubic meters of helium. The density of helium is 0.1785 kilograms per cubic meter. How many kilogr
professor190 [17]
We find the answer by using the density formula: d  =m/v
We know the density: 0.1785
We know the volume: 3,249
We DO NOT know the mass, so that is what we're trying to finding
0.1785 = m/3,249
Solve:
3,249 * 0.1785 = m/3,249 * 3,249
579.9465 which can be rounded to 579.9
The answer is D.

A quadratic equation is shown: x2 + 18x + 76 = 0 Which of the following is the first correct step to write the above equation in
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

  x^2 + 18x + 76 + 5 = 0 + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to determine the constant that is needed to be able to write the expression in the desired form. That constant is the square of half the x-term coefficient: (18/2)^2 = 9^2 = 81.

The constant that is present is 76, which is 5 fewer than the needed constant, so the "first step" is to add 5 to both sides of the equation:

  x^2 + 18x + 76 + 5 = 0 + 5

Then the next step would be to write the left side as a square:

  (x +9)^2 = 5 . . . . . . . p = -9; q= 5
