<h3>
Answer: 12 inches</h3>
=============================================================
Explanation:
Notice the double tickmarks on segments WZ and ZY. This tells us the two segments are the same length. Let's say they are m units long, where m is a placeholder for a positive number.
That would mean m+m = 2m represents the length of segment WY, but that's equal to 10 as the diagram shows. We have 2m = 10 lead to m = 5 after dividing both sides by 2.
We've shown that WZ and ZY are 5 units long each. In short, we just cut that length of 10 in half.
-----------------------------------
Let's focus on triangle XYZ. This is a right triangle with legs XZ = unknown and ZY = 5. The hypotenuse is XY = 13.
We'll use the pythagorean theorem to find XZ
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
(XZ)^2 + (ZY)^2 = (XY)^2
(XZ)^2 + (5)^2 = (13)^2
(XZ)^2 + 25 = 169
(XZ)^2 = 169-25
(XZ)^2 = 144
XZ = sqrt(144)
XZ = 12
Segment XZ is 12 inches long.
Answer:
c= -18
Step-by-step explanation:
c+4c= -90
combine like terms
5c= -90
Divide by 5 on both sides
c= -18
Answer:
Seth saved $90.
Step-by-step explanation:
1.Find out how much would be spent without buying the movie pass.
Multiply the amount of money that one would spend for each movie, by the number of movies one saw.
8 * 30 = 240
2.Find out the amount that was actually spent
Multiply the amount that was actually spent on each movie, by the number of movies that were seen. Then add the additional cost of the pass.
(4 * 30) + 30
= 120 + 30
= 150
3. Find the difference between the two values.
Subtract the amount that one was supposed to spend by the amount one did spend.
240 - 150
= 90
