What Is The Length Of RT?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Ulleksa [173]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

AS is an angle bisector, thus the ratio of the sides of the triangle is equal to the ratio of the corresponding parts of RT, that is

\frac{SR}{ST} = \frac{RA}{TA}, substituting values

\frac{7.5}{9} = \frac{3.5}{x} ( cross- multiply )

7.5x = 31.5 ( divide both sides by 7.5 )

x = 4.2

Thus

RT = 3.5 + x = 3.5 + 4.2 = 7.7 → B

Explain the steps to finding the vertex of g(x) = 3x2 + 12x + 15
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

The vertex of this parabola, (-2, 3), can be found by completing the square.

Step-by-step explanation:

The goal is to express this parabola in its vertex form:

g(x) = a\, (x - h)^2 + k,

where a, h, and k are constants. Once these three constants were found, it can be concluded that the vertex of this parabola is at (h,\, k).

The vertex form can be expanded to obtain:

\begin{aligned}g(x)&= a\, (x - h)^2 + k \\ &= a\, \left(x^2 - 2\, x\, h + h^2\right) + k = a\, x^2 - 2\, a\, h\, x + \left(a\,h^2 + k\right)\end{aligned}.

Compare that expression with the given equation of this parabola. The constant term, the coefficient for x, and the coefficient for x^2 should all match accordingly. That is:

\left\lbrace\begin{aligned}& a = 3 \\ & -2\,a\, h = 12 \\& a\, h^2 + k = 15\end{aligned}\right..

The first equation implies that a is equal to 3. Hence, replace the "a\!" in the second equation with 3\! to eliminate \! a:

(-2\times 3)\, h = 12.

h = -2.

Similarly, replace the "a" and the "h" in the third equation with 3 and (-2), respectively:

3 \times (-2)^2 + k = 15.

k = 3.

Therefore, g(x) = 3\, x^2 + 12\, x + 15 would be equivalent to g(x) = 3\, (x - (-2))^2 + 3. The vertex of this parabola would thus be:

\begin{aligned}&(-2, \, 3)\\ &\phantom{(}\uparrow \phantom{,\,} \uparrow \phantom{)} \\ &\phantom{(}\; h \phantom{,\,} \;\;k\end{aligned}.

Juan told Sylvia he got a $0.50 raise this week and his new hourly rate will be $10.25 an hour. Sylvia wants to know what Juan’s
zhenek [66]

Answer:

The correct answer is:

r + 0.50 = 10.25: Subtract .50 from both sides. The answer is $9.75.

This is because Juan got a $0.50 raise which means that his new rate will be $0.50 more than his original rate (r).

Mr. Shaw wants to replace the flooring his family room. The floor has an area of 262.8 square feet. If the room is 18 feet long,
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

14.6

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is area=length*width

so we can substitute the numbers here, 262.8=18w

divide 262.8 by 18 to isolate the variable.

You get 14.6.

The width is 14.6.
