Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

The product of two consecutive odd numbers equals 55 plus ten times the even number which is between them. Find the even number.​

Let the two odd consecutive integer be x and x+2

Let the even number between then be x+1

If the product of two consecutive odd numbers equals 55 plus ten times the even number, then;

(x)(x+2) = 55 + 10(x+1)

Expand

x² + 2x = 55 + 10x + 10

x² -8x -65 = 0

x² - 13x+5x - 65 = 0

x(x-13)+5(x- 13) = 0

(x-13) (x+5) = 0

x = 13 and -5

Since the even number is x + 1

Even number = 13 + 1 = 14

Select all quantities that are proportional to the diagonal length of a square.
horsena [70]

Answer:

B. Perimeter of a square and

C. Side length of a square​

Step-by-step explanation:

if n= side length of square then

  • Area of square is n^{2}
  • Perimeter of a square is 4×n
  • diagonal length of a square is \sqrt{2} × n

Thus,

Perimeter of square can be expressed as

2\sqrt{2}×diagonal length of a square

Side length of a square can be expressed as

\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }×diagonal length of a square

but Area of square is

\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }×n×diagonal length of a square

As a Result,  Area of square is <em>also dependent of the value n</em>, wheras in other cases it is <em>a proportion of diagonal length of a square</em>

You made a deal with Ms.Williams to read 100 pages every night. You know that it takes you 32 minutes to read 16 pages. How long
AnnyKZ [126]
Put the problem into a proportion to make it easier to solve.

32        x
      =
16       100

You can use cross products to simplify this proportion.  Multiply 32 by 100, and set that number equal to 16 *x.  

Your equation should now look like this
3200=16x

You are trying to get the variable alone on one side, so you should divide both sides by 16.

If this is performed correctly, then your final answer should be 

x=200.

It will take you 200 minutes (3 hours 20 mins) to read the pages that you promised Ms. Williams

Use the figure to find the measures of the numbered angles. Explin your reasoning.
Reika [66]
1)81° due to the fact that 99° and (1) are supplementary angles
2)99° due to the fact that (5) and (2) are adjacent angles that sum up to equal 180°  
3)81° due to the fact that it is the corresponding angle to (5)
4)99° due to the fact that (4) and (2) are alternate interior angles which equal the same 
5)81° due to the fact that (5) and (6) are adjacent angles which means they are supplementary angles that add to equal 180°
6)99° due to the fact that (6) and (2) are corresponding angles which equal the same value
7)81° due to the fact that (7) and (3) are corresponding angles with equal the same degree
