Answer:
First, we need to calculate for x. Since,
MP = PN
Thus,
3x-4 = x+4
2x = 8
x = 4
Next, we calculate for MS
MS = 2x + 2 = 10
Since, MS = 2SQ
10 = 2SQ
Then,
SQ = 5 units
Therefore, the correct answer is B.
Answer: x = 7
`Step-by-step explanation:
Because the figure shows two triangles that are similar. we can write and solve an equation of ratios:
9 cm 72 cm
----------- = -----------
3x - 20 56 cm
Cross-multiplying, we get (3x - 20)(72 cm) = (9 cm)(56 cm) = 504 cm²
Dividing both sides by 72 cm, we get:
3x - 20 = (504 cm²) / (72 cm) = 7
Then 3x - 20 = 7, and 3x = 27. Then x must be 9.
The scientific notation of the given, 35,000,000 is 3.5 x 10^7. The order of magnitude of a scientific notation is the exponent of its multiplier, 10. From the derived scientific notation above, the exponent of 10 is 7. Thus, the answer is letter D.
Hi Timothy,
1.Which explains why the sequence 216, 12, 2/3 is arithmetic or geometric?
Answer - C.The sequence is geometric because it decreases by a factor of 1/18
The reason I chose C is the fact that the numbers go down greatly, and it has to to be geometric because when you are trying to solve the problem with arithmetic you don't get and exact rule for how to solve the problem.
