Answer: 14.4units

See attached for more information about the question.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

LM = 24

KN = 10

NM = 15

KM = 10+15 = 25

Using the Triangle proportionality theorem.

Since LK || PN (LK is parallel to PN)

KN/NM = LP/PM .....1

and

NM/KM = PM/LM ......2

Substituting the values into 2, we have

15/25 = PM/24

PM = 15 × 24/25

PM = 14.4 units

A motorist travels between two towns. It usually takes 6 hours when travelling at a certain speed. He finds that if he reduces h

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

His usual speed is 105 km/hr.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let his usually speed be s km/hr and the distance between the towns be d km. So we have the equations:

s = d/6

s - 15 = d / (6 + 1)

from the first equation:

d = 6s and from the second:

d = 7(s - 15)

Eliminating d we get:

6s = 7(s - 15)

7s - 105 = 6s

s = 105.

MaRussiya [10]

The gym teacher has $250 to spend on volleyball equipment. She buys 4 volleyball nets for $28 each. Volleyballs cost $7 each. How many volley balls can she buy

Answer:

she can buy maximum of 19 balls.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of volleyballs be x

we know that

$\text{(The cost of each volleyball net} \times \text{number of volleyball net)}+\text{(the cost of each volleyball} \times \text{number of volleyballs)}\leq \ 250$

so substituting the values,

$28(4) + 7x \leq 250$

$112 + 7x \leq 250$

$7x \leq 250 - 112$

$7x \leq 138$

$x \leq \frac{138}{7}$

$x \leq 19.7$

A triangle with vertices at A(20, –30), B(10, –15), and C(5, –20) has been dilated with a center of dilation at the origin. The

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

One-fifth

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the distance between the origin and the point B

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

$d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}$

we have

O (0,0) and B(10, –15)

substitute

$d=\sqrt{(-15-0)^{2}+(10-0)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{325}\ units$

step 2

Find the distance between the origin and the point B'

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

$d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}$

we have

O (0,0) and B'(2,-3)

substitute

$d=\sqrt{(-3-0)^{2}+(2-0)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{13}\ units$

step 3

Find the scale factor of the dilation

The scale factor is equal to divide the length of segment OB' by the length of segment OB

$\frac{\sqrt{13}}{\sqrt{325}}=\frac{1}{5}$

Graph the following points on the graphing calculator:

Lerok [7]

We are given the following coordinates:

(0,6), (π/2, 7); (π, 8); (3π/2, 7); and (2π, 6)

If we graph these points, we will observe that the function is a cosine function. Since the function does not pass through the origin. Instead, it has a y-intercept equal to 6. <span />
