Answer:

EF = 6.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since ABCD is similar to EFGH, then EH is similar to AD. So, we can solve by first dividing 12 by 2 (EH by AD). The quotient of this is 6. This tells us that quadrilateral EFGH is 6 times larger than quadrilateral ABCD, since they are similar. So, with this and the measurement of AB (which is similar to EF), we can now solve for EF. We simply multiply 1.1 (the measurement of AB) by 6 (how many times larger EFGH is compared to ABCD). The product of this is 6.6, our final answer.

B) 196 cubic cm or something like that... First you multiply 7x5x14=490... then you divide 490/5 because you're working in fifths and get 98... the white is only two-fifths so you multiply 98 times 2 and get 196

Answer:

D 21.80°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = measure of the angle

Tan x = 12000/30000 = .4

Arctan .4 = 21.80°

Alyssa worked 2 part-time jobs and earned $181.50 for working a total of 24 hours at both jobs. She is paid $6.00 per hour at jo

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

Alyssa work at job A $9\ hours$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> the number of hours at work A

y------> the number of hours at work B

we know that

$x+y=24$

$y=24-x$ -----> equation A

$6x+8.5y=181.5$ -----> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B

$6x+8.5(24-x)=181.5$

$6x+204-8.5x=181.5$

$8.5x-6x=204-181.5$

$2.5x=22.5$

$x=22.5/2.5$

$x=9\ hours$

A system of linear equations contains two equations with negative reciprocal

aleksandrvk [35]

let's recall that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, so say for a line with a slope of a/b

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}} {\stackrel{slope}{\cfrac{a}{b}}\qquad \qquad \qquad \stackrel{reciprocal}{\cfrac{b}{a}}\qquad \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{-\cfrac{b}{a}}}$

a perpendicular one will be -b/a.

what does that mean? well, that the lines are perpendicular of course, they meet at a 90° angle, and two straight lines meeting at 90° can only meet once.

since a solution to a system of equations is where the graph meet, and these two meet perpendicularly once, then that means only one solution.
