An athletics squad trains on a long straight track with dots marked at 10m intervals. The coach sets out cones on some of the do

ts for the squad's sprint training drills. She wants the squad to be able to run any distance which is a multiple of 10m, up to some maximum distance which depends on the number of cones.
Explain why it is not possible to place four cones A, B, C, D, in a line so that each multiple of 10m up to 70m can be run between two of the cones.

Answer:

There are 6 ways to run 10 m between two cones of the four cones giving a maximum available distance to run as 60 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameters given are

Distance between two cones = 10 m

Number of cones = 4

Therefore, number of ways to choose two 10 m distances (distance between two cones) from the four cones = \binom{4}{2} = 6

Hence there are only six 10 m distances to run between two cones which gives a maximum distance available to run as 60 m.

Triangle ABC has been dilated to form triangle A'B'C'. If sides AB and A'B' are proportional, what is the least amount of additi
Ede4ka [16]
When considering similar triangles, we need congruent angles and proportional sides.

Hence
"Angles B and B' are congruent, and angles C and C' are congruent." is sufficient to prove similarity of two triangles.

"Segments AC and A'C' are congruent, and segments BC and B'C' are congruent." does not prove anything because we know nothing about the angles.

"Angle C=C', angle B=B', and segments BC and B'C' are congruent." would prove ABC is congruent to A'B'C' if and only if AB is congruent to A'B' (not just proportional).

"<span>Segment BC=B'C', segment AC=A'C', and angles B and B' are congruent</span>" is not sufficient to prove similarity nor congruence because SSA is not generally sufficient.

To conclude, the first option is sufficient to prove similarity (AAA)

Six times a number is 45 greater than the the product of the number and -3. Find the number.
blagie [28]

Let us try to formulate the expressions one by one.

let the number be x.

Step 1:

six time the number is 6*x = 6x

Step 2:

product of the number and -3 is -3x

Step 3:

now let us make equation for it:

6x = -3x +45

adding 3x on the left side,

6x+3x = 45

9x = 45

dividing right side by 9

x=45/9 = 5

So the number is x=5
