Answer:

$23.56

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

We are told that the unit cost per pound is $5.89

Required

the cost of 4 pounds

If 1 pound cost $5.89

4 pounds cost x

cross multiply

x= 4*5.89

x=$23.56

In the figure, AngleRQS Is-congruent-to AngleQLK. 3 lines are shown. Lines S P and K N are parallel. Line R M intersects line S

stepan [7]

Answer:

x=108

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

m∠RQS≅m∠QLK -----> by corresponding angles

m∠KLM+m∠QLK=180° -----> by supplementary angles (consecutive interior angles)

we have that

m∠RQS=x° ----> given problem

m∠QLX=x°

m∠KLM=(x-36)° ----> given problem

substitute

$(x-36)\°+x\°=180\°\\2x=180+36\\2x=216\\x=108$

Find the expression that represents the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose legs measure m^2-n^2 and 2mn

My name is Ann [436]

$\bf c^2=a^2+b^2\qquad 
\begin{cases}
c=hypotenuse\\
a=adjacent\\
b=opposite\\
------\\
a=m^2-n^2\\
b=2mn
\end{cases}\\\\\\ c^2=(m^2-n^2)^2+(\underline{2mn})^2
\\\\\\
c^2=m^4-2m^2n^2+n^4+\underline{2^2m^2n^2}
\\\\\\
c^2=m^4-2m^2n^2+n^4+{4m^2n^2}
\\\\\\
c^2=m^4+2m^2n^2+n^4\impliedby \textit{perfect square trinomial}
\\\\\\
c^2=(m^2+n^2)^2\implies c=\sqrt{(m^2+n^2)^2}\implies c=m^2+n^2$
