In the​ 1970s, due to world​ events, there was a gasoline shortage in the United States. There were often long lines of cars wai

ting at gas stations.
Part​ A: If there were 62 cars in a line that stretched 567 ​feet, what is the average car​ length? Assume that the cars are lined up​ bumper-to-bumper. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a foot.
Part​ B: How long would the line be if it contained​ 1,000 cars

Answer:

Part A: The average car length is 9.1 feet to the nearest tenth foot

Part B: The line would be 9100 feet to contained 1000 cars

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

# Part A:

- There were 62 cars in a line that stretched 567 feet

- The cars are lined up bumper-to-bumper

- That means there is no empty spaces between the cars

* To find the average length of the car we will divide the length of

  the line by the numbers of the cars

∵ The average car length = length of the line/number of cars

∵ The length of the line is 567 feet

∵ The numbers of the cars is 62 cars

∴ The average car length = 567/62 = 9.1 feet

* The average car length is 9.1 feet to the nearest tenth foot

# Part B:

- There are 1000 cars

- We need to find the length of line which contained the cars

∵ The average car length = length of the line/number of cars

∵ The average of car length is 9.1 feet

∵ The number of the cars is 1000 cars

∴ 9.1 = length of the line/1000

- Multiply both sides by 1000

∴ The length of the line = 9.1 × 1000 = 9100 feet

∴ The line would be 9100 feet to contained 1000 cars

1. x=35, y=18

2. x=20, y=23.3

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

when two triangles are similar, the ratio of their corresponding sides is equal and is called the scale factor.Given that;

ΔJKL ∼ ΔNML then

JK/NM =KL/ML

40/16=x/14

x=(40*14)/16 =35

Applying same ratio to find y;

LJ/LN=JK/NM

45/y=40/16

y⇒(45*16)/40 =18

2.

Given that ΔDEF∼ ΔHJG then;

HJ/DE=JG/EF

15/9=y/14

y=(15*14)/9

y=23.3

Applying the same ratio in finding value of x;

HJ/DE=GH/FD

15/9=x/12

x=(15*12)/9 =20

G(x)= (x^2 +4x-12)(x-3) find the roots
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

x = 3 or x = 2 or x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

(x - 3) (x^2 + 4 x - 12) = 0

Split into two equations:

x - 3 = 0 or x^2 + 4 x - 12 = 0

Add 3 to both sides:

x = 3 or x^2 + 4 x - 12 = 0

The left hand side factors into a product with two terms:

x = 3 or (x - 2) (x + 6) = 0

Split into two equations:

x = 3 or x - 2 = 0 or x + 6 = 0

Add 2 to both sides:

x = 3 or x = 2 or x + 6 = 0

Subtract 6 from both sides:

Answer: x = 3 or x = 2 or x = -6
