Pentagons STUVW and XYZAB are similar with XY = 32 , YZ = 36 , ST = 4c + 2 and TU = 5c + 2 What is the length of TU

Answer:

TU = 4.5units

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the pentagons are similar, hence the ratios of their similar sides will be equal to a constant.

Hence;

XY/ST = YZ/TU

Given the following

XY = 32

YZ = 36

ST = 4c + 2

TU = 5c + 2

Substitute into the expression as shown;

32/4c+2 = 36/5c+2

Cross multiply

36(4c+2) = 32(5c+2)

144c + 72 = 160c + 64

144c - 160c = 64 - 72

-16c = -8

c = -8/-16

c = 1/2

Recall that TU = 5c + 2

TU =5(1/2) + 2

TU = 2.5 + 2

TU = 4.5

Hence the length of TU is 4.5units

Find the vertex of this function <br> f(x)= x^2+4x-12
sergij07 [2.7K]
F(x) = x² + 4x - 12

x = -b/2a
x = -(4)/2(1)
x = -4/2
x = 2

f(x) = x² + 4x - 12
f(2) = (2)² + 4(2) - 12
f(2) = 4 + 8 - 12
f(2) = 12 - 12
f(2) = 0

The vertex of the function is (2,0).

∠LMN and ∠NMO are a linear pair of angles. If ∠LMN = 4x + 3 and ∠NMO = 10x – 5, then find the value of x. (1 point)
andriy [413]
Linear angles are two angles that are part of a straight angle (180*), so both must add up to 180.   If 4x+3+10x-5+180, then 14x-2=180, then 14x=182, and x=13

Pleaseeeee helpp me question 2 .
OLga [1]

Answer:  If you are supposed to graph a line, it will be a horizontal line (parallel to the x-axis) passing through +3 on the y-axis. The slope is 0.

it is a function.

If you are doing range and domain, the range is [3] and the domain is [1,2,3,4,5]

Step-by-step explanation: If there are directions above question 1 that apply to question 2, please add them to the comments.

Maybe someone else will be able to help if it is too late for me to edit this answer.

1.Give one number that makes the inequality x + 7 &gt; 20 true
nata0808 [166]
1. Any number above 13 works. Why? Because 20-7=13, and to be greater than 20, you must add a number larger than 13.

Examples: 14+7 > 20, 30+7 > 20, 100+7 > 20

2. Any number below 25/3 (which is also 8.3 with a repeating 3) works. Why? Because 25/3=8.3 with a repeating 3, and to remain less than 25, you must multiply by a number less than 8.3 with a repeating 3.

Examples: 3(8) < 25, 3(5) < 25, 3(0) < 25

3. 4 buses. 1 bus will hold 60 students, 2 will hold 120, 3 will hold 180, and 4 will hold 240. The question is trying to trick you into putting now 3.3333333333... buses because that's what 200/60 is, but there is no such thing as a third of a bus. So you need at least 4 buses. (There will be an extra 40 spaces for passengers on the 4th bus, but that is okay.)

To find this answer I did 200/60 and got 3.3 with a repeating 3. You must round to the higher whole number. Rounding down to 3 buses leaves you with 20 students without a bus.

4. 19 boxes. 18 boxes will only hold 288 candies. The question is trying to trick you into putting down 18.75 boxes because that's what 300/16 is, but there is no such thing as 75% of a box. So you need at least 19 boxes. (There will be an extra 4 spaces for candies in the 19th box, but that is okay.)

To find this answer I did 300/16 and got 18.75. You must round to the higher whole <span>number. Rounding down to 18 boxes leaves you with 12 candies without a box.</span>
