You and three friends go to a baseball game. You each pay $2 for a drink and x dollars for nachos. Use the Distributive Property

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

The simplified expression for the total amount the group pays is (6 + 3·x) dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The number of friends that went to the baseball game = 3

The amount each paid for a drink = $2

The amount each paid for nachos = x dollars

Therefore, the amount each spend = $2 + x dollars

The total amount the three friends spend = 3 × ($2 + x dollars)

By distributive property is given as follows;

a × (b + c) = a × b + a × c

a × (b - c) = a × b - a × c

Given that a, b, and c are real numbers

Therefore;

The total amount the three friends spend = 3 × ($2 + x dollars) = 3 × $2 + 3 × x dollars

The total amount the three friends spend = 3 × $2 + 3 × x dollars

The simplified expression for the total amount the group pays = $(6 + 3·x) = (6 + 3·x) dollars.

A man ordered 4 times as many boxes of ballpoint pens as boxes of felt-tip pens. Ballpoint pens cost $4.41 per box, and felt-tip

natka813 [3]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = # of boxes of felt-tip pens.

(x)(3.44)+(4x)(4.41) = 63.24

21.08x = 63.24

x = 3

Because x = 3, the man bought 3 boxes of felt-tip pens and 12 boxes of ballpoint pens.

Unit 8 right triangles and trigonometry homework 3 similar right triangles and geometric mean

Ugo [173]

The right triangles that have an altitude which forms two right triangles

are similar to the two right triangles formed.

Responses:

1. ΔLJK ~ ΔKJM

ΔLJK ~ ΔLKM

ΔKJM ~ ΔLKM

2. ΔYWZ ~ ΔZWX

ΔYWZ ~ ΔYZW

ΔZWX ~ ΔYZW

3. x = 4.8

4. x ≈ 14.48

5. x ≈ 11.37

6. G.M. = 12·√3

7. G.M. = 6·√5

<h3>What condition guarantees the similarity of the right triangles?</h3>

1. ∠LMK = 90° given

∠JMK + ∠LMK = 180° linear pair angles

∠JMK = 180° - 90° = 90°

∠JKL ≅ ∠JMK All 90° angles are congruent

∠LJK ≅ ∠LJK reflexive property

ΔLJK is similar to ΔKJM by Angle–Angle, AA, similarity postulate

∠JLK ≅ ∠JLK by reflexive property

ΔLJK is similar to ΔLKM by AA similarity

By the property of equality for triangles that have equal interior angles, we have;

ΔKJM ~ ΔLKM

2. ∠YWZ ≅ ∠YWZ by reflexive property

∠WXZ ≅ ∠YZW all 90° angle are congruent

ΔYWZ is similar to ΔZWX, by AA similarity postulate

∠XYZ ≅ ∠WYZ by reflexive property

∠YXZ ≅ ∠YZW all 90° are congruent

ΔYWZ is similar to ΔYZW by AA similarity postulate

Therefore;

ΔZWX ~ ΔYZW

3. The ratio of corresponding sides in similar triangles are equal

From the similar triangles, we have;

$\dfrac{8}{10} = \mathbf{ \dfrac{x}{6}}$

8 × 6 = 10 × x

48 = 10·x

$x = \dfrac{48}{10} = \underline{4.8}$

3. From the similar triangles, we have;

$\mathbf{\dfrac{20}{29}} = \dfrac{x}{21}$

20 × 21 = x × 29

420 = 29·x

$x = \dfrac{420}{29 } \approx \underline{14.48}$

4. From the similar triangles, we have;

$\mathbf{\dfrac{20}{52}} = \dfrac{x}{48}$

20 × 48 = 52 × x

$x = \dfrac{20 \times 48}{52} = \dfrac{240}{13} \approx \underline{18.46}$

5. From the similar triangles, we have;

$\mathbf{\dfrac{13.2}{26}} = \dfrac{x}{22.4}$

13.2 × 22.4 = 26 × x

$x = \dfrac{13.2 \times 22.4}{26} \approx \underline{ 11.37}$

6. The geometric mean, G.M. is given by the formula;

$G.M. = \mathbf{\sqrt[n]{x_1 \times x_2 \times x_3 ... x_n}}$

The geometric mean of 16 and 27 is therefore;

$G.M. = \sqrt[2]{16 \times 27} = \sqrt[2]{432} = \sqrt[2]{144 \times 3} = \mathbf{12 \cdot \sqrt{3}}$

The geometric mean of 16 and 27 is 12·√3

7. The geometric mean of 5 and 36 is found as follows;

$G.M. = \sqrt[2]{5 \times 36} = \sqrt[2]{180} = \sqrt[2]{36 \times 5} = \mathbf{ 6 \cdot \sqrt{5}}$

The geometric mean of 5 and 36 is 6·√5
