Answer:

  • y = 2/3x

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Reading rate is y pages per x minutes and proportional relationship formula is:</u>

  • y = kx

<u>The coefficient is:</u>

  • k = y/x

<u>Let's verify if the given numbers fit into the same relationship:</u>

  • 12/18 = 2/3
  • 8/12 = 2/3
  • 20/30 = 2/3

We confirm all same and it means k = 2/3

<u>Required equation is:</u>

  • y = 2/3x

This represents that Michael reads 2 pages per 3 minutes and for x minutes he reads 2/3x pages

In the figure, AB║CD and ∠EIA is congruent to ∠GJB Complete the following statements to prove that ∠IKL is congruent to ∠DLH.
REY [17]

Here it is given that AB || CD

< EIA = <GJB

Now

∠EIA ≅ ∠IKC and ∠GJB is ≅ ∠ JLD (Corresponding angles)

∠EIA  ≅ ∠GJB then ∠IKC ≅ ∠ JLD (Substitution Property of Congruency)

∠IKL + ∠IKC 180° and ∠DLH +  ∠JLD =180° (Linear Pair Theorem)

So

m∠IKL + m∠IKC = 180°       ....(1)

But ∠IKC  ≅ ∠JLD

m∠IKC = m∠JLD (SUBTRACTION PROPERTY OF CONGRUENCY)

So we have

m∠IKL + m∠JLD = 180°

∠IKL and ∠JLD are supplementary angles.

But ∠DLH and ∠JLD are supplementary angles.

∠IKL ≅ ∠DLH (CONGRUENT SUPPLEMENTS THEOREM)

Answer:

226.19

Step-by-step explanation:

pi * r^2 = area

The radius = diameter/2 = 6

pi * 6^2 * 2 = area of 2 tortillas

72pi = area of 2 tortillas

That rounds to 226.19
