<h3>Answer:</h3>
  1. x = 13; NP = 2 18/23 ≈ 2.8; NL = 5 5/23 ≈ 5.2
  2. D. x = 17, y = 5
<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

1. In order for this problem to be workable, we need to assume PQ ║ ML. Then ΔPNQ ~ ΔLNM and ∠L = ∠P = 60°.

... ∠L = 60°

... (3x+21)° = 60°

... 3x = 39 . . . . . . . divide by °, subtract 21

... x = 13 . . . . . . . . .divide by 3

The side lengths of similar triangles are proportional, so we have ...

... (3.2 cm)/y = (6 cm)/(8-y)

Multiplying by the product of the denominators, and dividing by (cm), we have ...

... 3.2(8 -y) = 6y

... 3.2×8 = 9.2y . . . . . add 3.2y

... y = 3.2×8/9.2 = 64/23 = 2 18/23 ≈ 2.78 = NP

Then ...

... 8-y = NL ≈ 5.22

In summary: x = 13; NP ≈ 2.8; NL ≈ 5.2

_____

2. If we assume figures ABCD and PSRQ are similar, we can find the values of the variables. We assume ∠C ≅ ∠R, so ...

... 4x +27° = 95°

... 4x = 68° . . . . . subtract 27°

... x = 17° . . . . . . . divide by 4

___

AB/AD = PS/PQ . . . . . corresponding sides of similar figures are proportional

... 4y/(3y-5) = 10/5 . . . . . units of ft cancel

... 5×4y = 10(3y -5) . . . . . multiply by 5(3y-5)

... 20y = 30y -50 . . . . . . simplify

... 50 = 10y . . . . . . . . . . . add 50-20y

... 5 = y . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 10

Using this value of y, we have ...

AB = 4y ft = 20 ft; AD = (3y-5) ft = 10 ft. Both these values are double the corresponding lengths on PSRQ.

In summary, x = 17°, y = 5. . . . . . (note that the ° symbol is appropriate for x)

_____

You should have your teacher show you how to work these problems <em>using only the given information</em>.

In the second problem, you cannot start with the assumption that the figures are similar, as that is what you're being asked to prove. Please note, too, that two sides and one angle of a quadrilateral are insufficient to show similarity.

3. The length of the line segment is 16 units

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Considering the properties of quadrilateral, opposite sides are parallel and equal, we can find the value of n, using that n value we can find the value of segment GH.

As given in the problem, sides FG and EH are parallel and so they are equal.

So we can write, the next side EF and GH is also parallel,

EF = GH

4n-4 = 2n+ 6

Grouping the terms we will get ,

4n - 2n = 6+ 4

2n = 10

n = 10/2 = 5

So GH = 2(5) + 6 = 10+ 6 = 16 units.

If the discriminat of a quadratic equation is 4 which statement describes the roots
Alex Ar [27]

Answer: using the discriminant to find the number of solutions to a quadratic equation b^2-4ac. positive discriminant indicates that the quadratic has <u>two distinct real number solutions.</u> The roots of a function are the x-intercepts. By definition, the y-coordinate of points lying on the x-axis is zero. Therefore, to find the roots of a quadratic function, we set f (x) = 0, and solve the equation, ax2 + bx + c = 0.

A An airplane descends 75 feet each minute after reaching an altitude of 24,580 feet. what is the airplane's altitude after 45 m
QveST [7]
You have to multiply 75 x 45 which is 3,375. Then, you subtract 24,580 - 3,375 which is 21,205. Hope this helped. :)

If I make 11.50 an hour working full time (40 hours a week) how much money do i make a year after deducting 60 dollars of taxes
Kazeer [188]
Given:
hourly rate = 11.50
hours worked in a week = 40 hours
taxes per moth = 60

Every month may be 4 weeks or 5 weeks but we know that 1 year has 52.1429 weeks.

Let us compute for the whole year:

Earnings:
11.50 /1 hour * 40 hours/1week * 52.1429 weeks/1year  
= 11.50 * 40 *  52.1429/year
= 23,985.734 per year

Taxes:
60 / per month * 12 months / 1 year
= 60 * 12/year
= 720 per year

Net earning per year
23,985.734 - 720 = 23,264.734 

Net earning per month
23,264.734 ÷ 12 months = 1,938.81 

You will earn 23,264.73 annually from a monthly earning of 1,938.81
