The local humane society is trying to determine how many racoons there are in a city. They catch and tag 18 raccoons. Later on,

they catch 67 raccoons, and 2 of them are tagged. What is the best estimate of the raccoon population? Answer to the closest whole number.

Which rule describes the translation below ? In the picture

rewona [7]

The translation rule which describes the given translation is $\fbox{\begin\\\math{(x,y)}\rightarrow(x+5,y-3)\\\end{minispace}}$ .

Further explanation:

Translation is defined as the shifting of the curve in which each point on the curve is shifted in such a way that the shape and size of the curve remains unchanged but the position of each point is changed by a fixed distance.

In the given figure there are two right angle triangle as $S'T'U'$ and $STU$ .

The coordinates of the right angle triangle $S'T'U'$ are $(-4,2),(-4,-2)$ and $(-1,-2)$ and the coordinates of the right angle triangle $STU$ are $(1,5),(1,1)$ and $(4,1)$ .

Consider that the triangle $STU$ is obtained after the translation of each point on the triangle $S'T'U'$ .

The coordinate of the point $S'$ in triangle $S'T'U'$ is $(-4,2)$ .

Step 1:

Use the translation $(x,y)\rightarrow(x-5,y-3)$ for the point $S'$ .

$\fbox{\begin\\\(-4,2)\rightarrow(-4-5,2-3)=(-9,-1)\\\end{minispace}}$

As per the translation $(x,y)\rightarrow(x-5,y-3)$ the coordinate of the point $S$ is $(-9,-1)$ , but in the given figure the coordinate of the point $S$ is $(1,5)$ .

So, the translation $(x,y)\rightarrow(x-5,y-3)$ is incorrect.

Step 2:

Use the translation $(x,y)\rightarrow(x-3,y-5)$ for the point $S'$ .

$\fbox{\begin\\\(-4,2)\rightarrow(-4-3,2-5)=(-7,-3)\\\end{minispace}}$

As per the translation $(x,y)\rightarrow(x-3,y-5)$ the coordinate of the point $S$ is $(-7,-3)$ , but in the given figure the coordinate of the point $S$ is $(1,5)$ .

So, the translation $(x,y)\rightarrow(x-3,y-5)$ is incorrect.

Step 3:

Use the translation $(x,y)\rightarrow(x+5,y+3)$ for the point $S'$ .

$\fbox{\begin\\\(-4,2)\rightarrow(-4+5,2+3)=(1,5)\\\end{minispace}}$

As per the translation $(x,y)\rightarrow(x+5,y+3)$ the coordinate of the point $S$ is $(1,5)$ which is correct as the coordinate for the point $S$ given in the figure is $(1,5)$ .

Step 4:

Use the translation $(x,y)\rightarrow(x+5,y+3)$ for the point $T'$ .

$\fbox{\begin\\\(-4,-2)\rightarrow(-4+5,-2+3)=(1,1)\\\end{minispace}}$

As per the translation $(x,y)\rightarrow(x+5,y+3)$ the coordinate of the point $T$ is $(1,1)$ which is correct as the coordinate for the point $T$ given in the figure is $(1,1)$ .

Step 5:

Use the translation $(x,y)\rightarrow(x+5,y+3)$ for the point U’.

$\fbox{\begin\\\ (-1,-2)\rightarrow(-1+5,-2+3)=(4,1)\\\end{minispace}}$

As per the translation $(x,y)\rightarrow(x+5,y+3)$ the coordinate of the point $T$ is $(4,1)$ which is correct as the coordinate for the point $U$ given in the figure is $(4,1)$ .

As per the above calculation it is concluded that the translation $(x,y)\rightarrow(x+5,y+3)$ is correct for the shifting of each point on the triangle $S'T'U'$ to each point on the triangle $STU$ .

The translation of each point on the triangle $S'T'U'$ is shown in the image attached below.

Therefore, the correct translation rule for the shifting of the triangle $S'T'U'$ to the triangle $STU$ is $\fbox{\begin\\\math{(x,y)}\rightarrow(x+5,y-3)\\\end{minispace}}$

A circular flower bed is 24 m in diameter and has a circular sidewalk around it that is 2 m wide. Find the area of the sidewalk

Doss [256]

The area of the sidewalk is 144.44 m².

The 2-m wide walk adds 4 m to the diameter, making it 21+4=25.

Since the radius is half the diameter, r = 25/2 = 12.5.

The area of the entire bed with walkway is 3.14(12.5)² = 490.625 m².

The diameter of the bed is 21, so the radius is 21/2 = 10.5.
The area of just the flower bed is 3.14(10.5)² = 346.185.

The difference between the two is 490.625-346.185 = 144.44 m². This is the area of the walkway.

Z2-y2=x2 solve for z2 (literal equation)

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

z² = x² + y²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

z² - y² = x² ( isolate z² by adding y² to both sides )

z² = x² + y²
