Answer: 4(5 + 4)

Step-by-step explanation: Both 16 and 20 are multiples of 4, so factor out 4 and leave the remaining factors in parentheses

4*5 + 4*4 becomes

4(5 + 4) add inside parentheses

4(9) multiply to check

4 × 36

same as adding 20 + 16 = 36

What are the coordinates of point B on Line AC such that AB is 3 times as long as BC? (Screenshots supplied to clarify)

algol [13]

Answer:

B(3.5, 0.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A(5,5), Xa=5, Ya=5

C(3,-1), Xc=3, Yc=-1

To find point B, we can use the partition rule, where AB = 3BC, so AB occupies k=3/4 of the distance AC.

B(x,y) = ((1-k)Xa+kXc, (1-k)Ya+kYc)

=(Xa/4+3Xc/4, Ya/4+3Yc/4), substitute values

=(5/4+3*3/4, 5/4+3*(-1)/4)

=(14/4,2/4)

=(3.5, 0.5)

The answer is 27.6
angle version of the law of cosines:

cos(C) = (a^2 + b^2 − c^2)/2ab

cos(A) = (b^2 + c^2 − a^2)/2bc

cos(B) = (c^2 + a^2 − b^2)/2ca

cos A = (b^2 + c^2 − a^2) / 2bc
cos A = (10^2+20^2-14^2)/200
cos A = (100+400-196)/200
cos A = (500-196)/200
cos A = (304)/200
cos A = (1.52)
A = cos^-1(1.52) = 40.54 degrees

cos B = (c^2+a^2-b^2)/2ca
cos B = (20^2+14^2-10^2)/280
cos B = (400+196-100)/280
cos B = (496)/280
cos B ≈ 1.77
B = cos^-1(1.77) = 27.66 degrees

we have two methods left to find the measure of angle C:
method 1 :
cos C = (a^2+b^2-c^2)/2ab
cos C = (14^2+10^2-20^2)/140
cos C = (196+100-400)/140
cos C = (-104)/140
cos C ≈ -0.74

C = cos^-1(-0.74) = 111.8 degrees

method 2: 40.54+27.66 = 68.2
180-68.2=111.8

The measure of angle A: 40.54
The measure of angle B: 27.66
The measure of angle C: 111.8

Hannah is at the supermarket to buy carrots and potatoes. If she buys 2 pounds of carrots and 3 pounds of potatoes, it will cost

zhenek [66]

Answer:

Carrots cost $ 1.75 a pound which is more than potatoes cost.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Carrots cost $ x per pound and potatoes cost $ y per pound.

Buying 2 pounds of carrots and 3 pounds of potatoes will cost her

$ $(2\times x + 3\times y)$
