Answer:

NR = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that both trjangles are similar, therefore, it follows that their corresponding side lengths would be proportional to each other. Thus:

\frac{40}{8} = \frac{60}{2x - 2}

5 = \frac{60}{2x - 2}

Cross multiply

5(2x - 2) = 60

10x - 10 = 60

10x = 60 + 10 (addition property of equality)

10x = 70

Divide both sides by 10

x = 7

✔️NR = 2x - 2

Plug in the value of x

NR = 2(7) - 2 = 14 - 2

NR = 12

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

0.0105

Step-by-step explanation:

given that 30% of all houses need a paint job. Also, 15% of all houses need both a paint job and a new roof. Further, 7% of all houses that need a new roof also need new windows.

If total houses are 100, then 30 require a paint along.  15 require both paint and new roof.

Out of 15 houses which require new roof 7% need new windows

i.e. no of houses which need new windows = 15*7%\\=1.05

If there are total 100 houses, 1.05 houses require a new window

So probability that a randomly selectede house needs a new window

= 0.0105

If z = 2, find the value of: a. 6z2–2z+5<br> b. 64–5z
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

25 and 54

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

6z² - 2z + 5 ← substitute z = 2

= 6(2)² - 2(2) + 5

= 6(4) - 4 + 5

= 24 - 4 + 5

= 20 + 5

= 25

(b)

64 - 5z ← substitute z = 2

= 64 - 5(2)

= 64 - 10

= 54
