Answer: 13,333 snowflakes

Step-by-step explanation:

For this exercise let be "x" represents the number of snowflakes that will be in the fort.

According to the information given in the exercise, the weight of one block is 1 kilogram. Knowing that the fort must have 40 blocks, the total weight is:

total\ weight=(1\ g)(40)\\\\total\ weight=40\ g

 Since each snowflake weighs 3* 10^{-3} grams, need to divide the total weight calculated above by the weight of a snowfake.

Therefore, through this procedure you get the following result:

x=\frac{40\ grams}{3 * 10 ^{-3}\ grams}\\\\x\approx13,333

Therefore, the there will be 13,333 snowflakes in the fort.

Through: (-5, -3), perp. to y=-9/4x-5
Mrrafil [7]

Given:

A line passes through (-5,-3) and perpendicular to y=-\dfrac{9}{4}x-5.

To find:

The equation of the line.

Solution:

We have,

y=-\dfrac{9}{4}x-5

On comparing this equation with slope intercept form, i.e., y=mx+b, we get

m_2=-\dfrac{9}{4}

It means, slope of this line is -\dfrac{9}{4}.

Product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is always -1.

m_1\times m_2=-1

m_1 \times \left(-\dfrac{9}{4}\right)=-1

m_1=\dfrac{4}{9}

Slope of required line is \dfrac{4}{9} and it passes through the point (-5,-3). So, the equation of the line is

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

where, m is slope.

y-(-3)=\dfrac{4}{9}(x-(-5))

y+3=\dfrac{4}{9}(x+5)

9(y+3)=4(x+5)

9y+27=4x+20

27-20=4x-9y

7=4x-9y

Therefore, the equation of required line is 4x-9y=7.

Surface area helpp needed
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

144 un²

Step-by-step explanation:

Front Parallelogram = 5 x 11 = 55

Two triangles = 3 x 4 = 12

Back Parallelogram = 3 x 11 = 33

Bottom rectangle = 4 x 11 = 44

Total =

55 + 12 + 33 + 44 = 144

units = un²

144 un²

Please help !! what’s the answer? i don’t understand !!
dedylja [7]

Answer:

992

Step-by-step explanation:

You must convert the meter the kilometer by miltiplying by 1000

and when you do it you must multiply 0.992 by 1000 since it is a fraction .

or you can work it this way :

  • 0.992⇒1m
  • x(the new rate) ⇒1000m
  • x= 0.992*1000= 992

What is the row echelon form of this matrix?
USPshnik [31]

The row echelon form of the matrix is presented as follows;

\begin{bmatrix}1 &-2  &-5  \\ 0& 1 &  -7\\ 0&0  &1  \\\end{bmatrix}

<h3>What is the row echelon form of a matrix?</h3>

The row echelon form of a matrix has the rows consisting entirely of zeros at the bottom, and the first entry of a row that is not entirely zero is a one.

The given matrix is presented as follows;

\begin{bmatrix}-3 &6  &15  \\ 2& -6 &  4\\ 1&0  &-1  \\\end{bmatrix}

The conditions of a matrix in the row echelon form are as follows;

  1. There are row having nonzero entries above the zero rows.
  2. The first nonzero entry in a nonzero row is a one.
  3. The location of the leading one in a nonzero row is to the left of the leading one in the next lower rows.

Dividing Row 1 by -3 gives:

\begin{bmatrix}1 &-2  &-5  \\ 2& -6 &  4\\ 1&0  &-1  \\\end{bmatrix}

Multiplying Row 1 by 2 and subtracting the result from Row 2 gives;

\begin{bmatrix}1 &-2  &-5  \\ 0& -2 &  14\\ 1&0  &-1  \\\end{bmatrix}

Subtracting Row 1 from Row 3 gives;

\begin{bmatrix}1 &-2  &-5  \\ 0& -2 &  14\\ 0&2  &4  \\\end{bmatrix}

Adding Row 2 to Row 3 gives;

\begin{bmatrix}1 &-2  &-5  \\ 0& -2 &  14\\ 0&0  &18  \\\end{bmatrix}

Dividing Row 2 by -2, and Row 3 by 18 gives;

\begin{bmatrix}1 &-2  &-5  \\ 0& 1 &  -7\\ 0&0  &1  \\\end{bmatrix}

The above matrix is in the row echelon form
