If I have an equation in which x = pounds, and y = total cost, can I substitute quarts into the equation

Answer:

Yes, you can

Step-by-step explanation:

As a point of reference, assume the equation is:

y = 5x

Where

y = total\ cost

and

x = pounds

In standard unit of conversion:

1\ pound = 0.4793\ quart

So:

x\ pounds = 0.4793x\ quart

Substitute 0.4793x for x in y = 5x

y = 5 * 0.4793x

y = 2.3965x

The above equation is the equivalent of y = 5x in quarts

<em>So, irrespective of what the equation is, you can always substitute quarts into the equation.</em>

Please help!!<br> Each pair of polygons is similar. Find the value of x.
Simora [160]

Answer in fraction form: x = 55/4

Answer in decimal form: x = 13.75

Both forms are equivalent, but they say it in a slightly different way.

===========================================================

Work Shown:

AC/QY = CD/YW

(x+5)/15 = 5/4

4(x+5) = 15*5

4x+20 = 75

4x = 75-20

4x = 55

x = 55/4

x = 13.75

------------

Explanations:

  • The first step is possible because the polygons are similar. Similar figures have their corresponding sides be in the same proportion or ratio. Note how side AC has the double red angle (at point A) and a single red angle (point C). The side QY has the same idea in the same order. This is why AC corresponds to QY. The ratio AC/QY is the same as CD/YW.
  • In the second step, I plugged in the expressions that the diagram shows. This is the substitution property.
  • On step 3, I cross multiplied. The general format is A/B = C/D cross multiplies to A*D = B*C.

a ladder leans against the sufe of a house. the angle of elevation of the ladder is 70 degrees when the bottom of the ladder is
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

≈ 35.1 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The model is a right triangle with ladder being the hypotenuse and the angle between the ground and the ladder is 70°

Using the cosine ratio, with l being the length of the ladder.

cos70° = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse} = \frac{12}{l} ( multiply both sides by l )

l × cos70° = 12 ( divide both sides by cos70° )

l = \frac{12}{cos70} ≈ 35.1 ( to the nearest tenth )

The ladder is approx 35.1 ft long
