Joshua used two wood beams, PC and QA, to support the roof of a model house. The beams intersect each other to form two similar

triangles QRP and ARC as shown in the figure below. The length of segment PR is 3.7 inches and the length of segment CR is 5.6 inches. The distance between A and C is 4.9 inches. What is the distance between the endpoints of the beams P and Q?
A) 3.2 inches.
B) 3.7 inches.
C) 4.2 inches.

We know that QRP and ARC are similar.
Therefore:
x : 3.7 = 4.9 : 5.6
5.6 x = 3.7 * 4.9
5.6 x = 18.13
x = 18.13 : 5.6
x = 3.2375
PQ ≈ 3.2
Answer:
A )  3.2 inches

Solve using a system of equations. Tickets to a local movie were sold at $6.00 for adults and $4.50 for students. If 110 tickets
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

The number of adults tickets is 80 and the number of students tickets is 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The tickets price for adults = $6.00

The tickets price for students = $4.50

Total number tickets were sold = 110

Total Price of 110 tickets = $615.00

Now,

Let The number of adults tickets sold = A

The number of students tickets sold = S

So, according to question

          A + S =  110

And   6 A + 4.5 S = 615

Or,   6 A + 6 S =  660            .....1

       6 A + 4.5 S = 615            ......2

Solving the equations

( 6 A + 6 S ) - ( 6 A + 4.5 S ) = 660 - 615

Or,  ( 6 A - 6 A ) ( 6 S - 4.5 S ) = 45

or,  ( 6 S - 4.5 S ) = 45

or,   1.5 S = 45

∴    S = \frac{45}{1.5}

I,e  S = 30

Put the value of S in eq 1

So,  6 A + 6 × 30 =  660

Or,  6 A = 660 - 180

Or  6 A = 480

∴   A = \frac{480}{6}

I.e A = 80

Hence The number of adults tickets is 80 and the number of students tickets is 30   .     Answer

An airplane takes off 12.5 miles south of a city and flies due north at a constant speed of 170 miles per hour. What is the plan
atroni [7]

Answer:

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed is distance moved per unit tine and is expressed as s=d/t

Making d the subject then

d=st

Where d is distance, s is speed and t is time taken in time.

Conversion

1 hour has 60 minutes hence 45 mins converted to hours will be 45/60=0.75

Substituting 0.75 hours for t and 170 mph for s then

d=0.75*170=127.5 miles due North

However, tge plane had initially moved 12.5 miles hence the relative distance due North will be 127.5-12.5=115 miles due North
