Answer:

  12 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

The kerosene usage is assumed to be jointly proportional to the number of stoves and the number of hours. That is ...

  v = k·s·h . . . . . for s stoves running h hours

Then the value of k is ...

  k = v/(sh) = (16 L)/(12·14) = 2/21 . . . . liters per stove-hour

Then the volume of kerosene required for 7 stoves and 18 hours is ...

  v = (2/21)·s·h

  v = (2/21)(7)(18) = 12 . . . liters

A ball is tossed between three friends. The first toss is 8.6 feet, the second is 5.8 feet, and the third toss is 7.5 feet, whic
Rainbow [258]

angles formed by these tosses are  79.45, 59.02 and 41.53 degrees to the nearest hundredth.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here , We have a triangle with sides of length 8.6 feet, 5.8 feet and 7.5 feet.

The Law of Cosines (also called the Cosine Rule) says:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab (cosx)

Using the Cosine Rule to find the measure of the angle opposite the side of length 8.6 feet:

⇒ c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab (cosx)

⇒ c^2 -a^2 - b^2 = -2ab (cosx)

⇒ (cosx) =\frac{ c^2 -a^2 - b^2}{ -2ab}

⇒ (cosx) =\frac{(8.6^2 - 5.8^2 - 7.5^2)}{ ( -2(5.8)7.5)}

⇒ (cosx) =0.18310

⇒ cos^{-1}(cosx) = cos^{-1}(0.18310)

⇒ x = 79.45

The Law of Sines (or Sine Rule) is very useful for solving triangles:

\frac{a}{sin A} = \frac{ b}{sin B} =  \frac{c}{sin C}

We can now find another angle using the sine rule:

⇒\frac{ 8.6 }{ sin 79.45} = \frac{7.5}{ sin Y}

⇒sin Y = \frac{(7.5 (sin 79.45))}{  8.6}

⇒Y = 59.02 degrees

So, the third angle =180 - 79.45 - 59.02 = 41.53 degrees.

Therefore, angles formed by these tosses are  79.45, 59.02 and 41.53 degrees to the nearest hundredth.

Please find the perpendicular line slope equation please! Thanks!
lana66690 [7]

We need to convert this equation to slope-intercept form first.

We can do that by solving for y.

x - 5y = 15

<em><u>Add 5y to both sides.</u></em>

x = 5y + 15

<em><u>Subtract 15 from both sides.</u></em>

x - 15 = 5y

<em><u>Divide both sides by 5.</u></em>

y = 1/5x - 3

We now know the slope is 1/5.

The slope of the line perpendicular to the line with a slope of 1/5 is -5.

The slope of a perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of the original slope.

Using a graphing calculator, we know the y-intercept of the line that is perpendicular to the original line must have a y-intercept of -6 to run through the points (-2, 5).

The equation of the new line is y = -5x - 6.

Answer:

A'(-1, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Dilation about the origin multiplies each individual coordinate value by the dilation factor.

A' = (1/3)A = (1/3)(-3, -3) = (-1, -1)
