Answer:

<h2>AC = 36.01</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given ΔABC and ΔADB, since both triangles are right angled triangles then the following are true.

From ΔADB, AB² = AD²+BD²

Given AB = 24 and AD = 16

BD² = AB² - AD²

BD² = 24²-16²

BD² = 576-256

BD² = 320

BD = \sqrt{320}

BD = 17.9

from ΔABC, AC² = AB²+BC²

SInce AC = AD+DC and BC² = BD² + DC² (from ΔBDC )we will have;

(AD+DC)² = AB²+ (BD² + DC²)

Given AD = 16, AB = 24 and BD = 17.9, on substituting

(16+DC)² = 24²+17.9²+ DC²

256+32DC+DC² =  24²+17.9²+ DC²

256+32DC = 24²+17.9²

32DC = 24²+17.9² - 256

32DC = 640.41

DC = \frac{640.41}{32}

DC = 20.01

Remember that AC = AD+DC

AC = 16+20.01

AC = 36.01

If 25 cm' of a quantity of marbles has a mass of 45 g, calculate the density of the marble in kg/m​
Elena-2011 [213]

The density of the marble will be "0.18 kg/m³".

According to the question,

Volume of marbles,

  • V = 25 cm³

By converting it into m, we get

  • 0.25 m³

Mass,

  • M = 45 g

By converting it into kg, we get

  • 0.045 kg

As we know, the formula:

→ Density = \frac{Mass}{Volume}

By substituting the values, we get

→               = \frac{0.045}{0.25}

→               = 0.18 \ kg/m^3  

Thus the answer above is correct.

Jim rents an apartment in New York City for $1600 a month. Mike rents his apartment in Boston for 7/8 as much. How much more doe
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

Jim pays 200 more dollars per month than Mike.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jim--> $1600/month

Mike--> 7/8(Jim's rent)

7/8(Jim's rent)

7/8(1600)

= $1400

1600-1400= 200

Jim pays 200 more dollars per month than Mike.

I hope that makes sense!
