Answer:

2 more cages

Step-by-step explanation:

A pair of guinea pigs means , 2 guinea pigs per cage

If the pet store has 8 cages how many more cages will the pet store need?

For 8 cages

1 cage = 2 guinea pigs

8 cages = x

Cross Multiply

x = 8 × 2 guinea pigs

x = 16 guinea pigs

The pet store has 20 guinea pigs

The amount of guinea pigs left

= 20 - 16

= 4 guinea pigs

2 guinea pigs = 1 cage

4 guinea pigs = x

Cross Multiply.

2x = 4

x = 4/2

x = 2 cages

Therefore, the pet store needs 2 more cages

Consider the proof. Given: In △ABC, BD ⊥ AC Prove: the formula for the law of cosines, a2 = b2 + c2 – 2bccos(A) Statement Reason
loris [4]

Solution: The missing reason in Step 8 is substitution of x=c\cos (A).

Explanation:

The given steps are used to prove the formula for law of cosines.

From step 5 it is noticed that our equation is

a^2=b^2-2bx+c^2      ..... (1)

From step 7 it is noticed that the value of x is c\cos (A).

So by substituting c\cos (A) for x in equation (1) we get the equation of step 8, i.e.,

a^2=b^2-2bc\cos (A)+c^2

Hence, the missing reason in Step 8 is substitution of x=c\cos (A).

WITH PICTURE!!3. What is the value of x in the regular polygon below? (3 points)
monitta

Answer: FIRST OPTION.

Step-by-step explanation:

Regular polygons are those polygons whose sides are equal in length and whose angles are all equal.

By definition each interior angle of a Regular polygon,is:

\frac{180 ( n -2 )}{n}  (In degrees)

Where "n" is the number of sides of the polygon.

Observe the Regular polygon given in the exercise.

Since it has 6 sides, you can conclude that it is an Hexagon. Then:

n=6

Substituting into  \frac{180 ( n -2 )}{n}  and evaluating, you get:

\frac{180 ( 6 -2 )}{6}=120\°

Knowing this, you can write the following equation:

3x=120

Finally, you must solve for "x" in order to find its value. This is:

x=\frac{120}{3}\\\\x=40

A total of 41 people attended Rayleigh's birthday party. Rayleigh's sister invited some of the guests. If Raleigh invited 19 mor
Keith_Richards [23]

Her sister invited 22 guests. What you have to do to solve this problem is subtract 41-19. We have to do this because Rayliegh invited 19 more people than her sister, but invited a total of 41 people herself. So, to figure out how many people her sister invited we have to know that Rayliegh invited 19 more people and we have to subtract that from the total number she invited to get how many people her sister invited: 22 guests. Can you make me brainliest?
