There are 7 similarly shaped figures in a set. The largest figure is 7 inches tall. Each of the other figures is 1 inch shorter

than the next larger figure. The surface area of the largest figure is 588 in. squared. What is the surface area of the smallest figure?

The first thing we must do for this case is to find the scale factor based on the dimensions of the figures.
 The largest figure is 7 inches tall. Each of the other figures is 1 inch shorter than the next larger figure.
 We have then that the smallest figure has a height of 1 inch.
 The scale factor is:
 k = (smallest figure) / (largest figure) = 1/7
 k = 1/7
 The surface area of the smaller figure is:
 A = k ^ 2 * (A ')
 Where
 A ': surface area of the largest figure.
 Substituting:
 A = (1/7) ^ 2 * (588)
 A = 12 in ^ 2
 Answer:
 
The surface area of the smallest figure is:
 
A = 12 in ^ 2

Step-by-step explanation:

first of all, g(x) has only negative functional result values (y) except for 0.

and a square is always positive.

so, the only possible right answers are the ones that include a minus ("-") sign.

the graph shows us that g(x) goes through the points (1, -3) and (-1, -3).

so, which equation turns an x = 1 into an y = -3 ?

therefore, the right answer must be D.

g(x) = -3x²

it works for both points :

-3 = -3×1² = -3 correct

-3 = -3×(-1)² = -3×1 = -3 correct

Answer:

20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Subtract starting value minus the final value (decrease)

\$5.75 - \$4.60\\\\= 5.75 - 4.60 \\\\= 1.15

Step 2: Divide the decrease by the original number

1.15 \div 5.75\\\\= \frac{1.15}{5.75}\\\\= 0.2

Step 3: Multiply the result by 100 to get a percent decrease

0.2 \times 100\\\\= 20

Therefore, the percent decrease of the price of paper per package is 20%

<em>Note: If the percentage is negative, it means there was an increase and not a decrease.</em>

What is the solution of the equation 17 = 3x − 4?
pogonyaev

Answer:

<em>x = 7</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

17 = 3X + -4

Reorder the terms:

17 = -4 + 3X

Solving

17 = -4 + 3X

Solving for variable 'X'.

Move all terms containing X to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-3X' to each side of the equation.

17 + -3X = -4 + 3X + -3X

Combine like terms: 3X + -3X = 0

17 + -3X = -4 + 0

17 + -3X = -4

Add '-17' to each side of the equation.

17 + -17 + -3X = -4 + -17

Combine like terms: 17 + -17 = 0

0 + -3X = -4 + -17

-3X = -4 + -17

Combine like terms: -4 + -17 = -21

-3X = -21

Divide each side by '-3'.

X = 7

Simplifying

X = 7

If anyone could help me with this last problem, I would greatly appreciate it.

Answer:

From the given information, the value of a is 3 and the measurement of ∠R is 25°

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we have to find the value of a and the measurement of ∠R. We are given some information already in the problem.

<em>ΔJKL ≅ ΔPQR</em>

This means that all of the angles and all of the sides of each triangle are going to be equal to each other.

So, knowing this, let;s find the measurement of ∠R first.

All triangles have a total measurement of 180°. We are already given two angle measurements. We are given that the m∠P is 90° because the small box in the triangle represents a right angle and right angles equal 90°. We are also given that the m∠Q is 65° because ∠Q is equal to ∠K so they have the same measurement. Now, let's set up our equation.

65 + 90 + m∠R = 180

Add 65 to 90.

155 + m∠R = 180

Subtract 155 from 180.

m∠R = 25°

So, the measurement of ∠R is 25°.

Now let's find the value of a.

KL is equal to PQ so we will set up an equation where they are equal to each other.

7a - 10 = 11

Add 10 to 11.

7a = 21

Divide 7 by 21.

a = 3

So, the value of a is 3.

Write an equation of the line that passes through (1,2) and is perpendicular to the line y= 1/3x+4
zvonat [6]

Slope-intercept form:  y = mx + b

(m is the slope, b is the y-intercept or the y value when x = 0 --> (0, y) or the point where the line crosses through the y-axis)

For lines to be perpendicular, their slopes have to be the negative reciprocal of each other. (Basically flip the sign +/- and the fraction(switch the numerator and the denominator))

For example:

Slope = 2 or \frac{2}{1}

Perpendicular line's slope = -\frac{1}{2}   (flip the sign from + to -, and flip the fraction)

Slope = -\frac{3}{4}

Perpendicular line's slope = \frac{4}{3}  (flip the sign from - to +, and flip the fraction)

y = 1/3x + 4        The slope is 1/3, so the perpendicular line's slope is -\frac{3}{1} or -3.

Now that you know the slope, substitute/plug it into the equation:

y = mx + b

y = -3x + b       To find b, plug in the point (1, 2) into the equation, then isolate/get the variable "b" by itself

2= -3(1) + b     Add 3 on both sides to get "b" by itself

2 + 3 = -3 + 3 + b

5 = b

y = -3x + 5
