Answer:

12 girls.

Step-by-step explanation:

24 ÷ 2 = 12

(This is divided to find out 1 part of the whole class as ⅓)

⅓ = 12

1 (whole) take away ⅔ = ⅓

Since ⅔ + ⅓ = 1

⅓ = fraction of girls in class

1 part = 12

So ⅓ = 12 girls out of 36 total students

Hope this helps. :)

State the equation of the line which has the y-intercept :
aliina [53]

Answer:

A general line is written as:

y = a*x + b

where:

a is the slope

b is the y-intercept.

a) y-intercept = 2 and slope = 7.

This line is:

y = 7*x + 2

b) y-intercept =  -1 and is parallel to y= 5x - 7.

Now, if two linear equations are parallel if they have the same slope and different y-intercept. Then if we want a line parallel to  y= 5x - 7, this means that the slope of this line must also be equal to 5.

y = 5*x + (-1)

c) y-intercept 2 and is inclined at 45° to the x- axis. ​

When we have an inclination of A degrees from the x-axis, the slope of the equation is given by: a = Tan(A)

In this case, we have A = 45°

Then the slope is a = Tan(45°) =  1

Then the equation of this line is:

y = 1*x + 2

The side lengths of a right triangle are 18 cm, 24 cm, and 30 cm. You are asked to find the area of the triangle by using A = 1/
vekshin1

Answer:

1. Use the Adjacent and opposite side (Ignore the Hypotenuse)

Or use HERO'S FORMULA based on the information given

2. Area = 216cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

There are three to four ways we can go about finding the area of a triangle. And a these would be dependent on the information given about the triangle.

From the question, you said the three side lengths are given. In such case, we employ the HERO FORMULA.

HERO FORMULA:

Area = √ s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)

where s = 1/2(a + b + c)

a, b, c are the three sides

But since the question insisted that we use 1/2* base * height. Let's use our know of right angle to dissolve that.

A right angle triangle has three sides. The longest is always the Hypotenuse.

Let's take it this way.

Hypotenuse = 30cm

Opposite= 18cm

Adjacent = 24cm

Area = 1/2 * base * height

Area = 1/2 * 18 * 24

Area = 1/2 * 432

Area = 216cm^2

We ignored the longest side, (the Hypotenuse)

frutty [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For every 10 assignments you get 1 homework pass. So you would multiply them by two and up more.

So here's some of your answers:

10:1

20:2

30:3

40:4

50:5

60:6

70:7

80:8

90:9

A driver travels for 2 hours at 80 miles per hour, during
algol [13]

Answer:

$84

Step-by-step explanation:

Find how many miles she traveled by multiplying 80 and 2.

80 × 2 = 160 miles

Next find out how much she gets paid for her mileage by multiply $0.60 and 160.

160 × $0.60 = $96.00

Now find out how much she spent on gas. She gets 40 miles per gallon so solve how many gallons she used by dividing 160 by 40.

160 ÷ 40 = 4 gallons

Then multiply 4 gallons by $3.00

4 × 3 = $12

To find the net rate of pay subtract 96 and 12

$96 - $12 = $84
