Answer: There are 192 horses in the ranch

Step-by-step explanation:

The combined number of cattle and horses = 960.

Ratio of  cattle to horses =12 :3

Total ratio =12+3=15

Number of horses on the ranch = ratio of horse / Total ratio x total number of horses and cattle

3/15 x 960 =  192

Therefore there are 192 horses in the ranch

In the first quadrant you start at (7,3) and move 5 unit left
AveGali [126]

Answer:

That would be (2,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

When we're moving left in the coordinate plane, we are subtracting the x-coordinate by how much distance we move.

In this case, 7-5=2, so the new x-coordinate is 2, but the y-coordinate doesn't change since we're going horizontally and not vertically.

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to determine which of the following give the measures of the legs and hypotenuse of a right triangle
kakasveta [241]

The Pythagorean theorem states that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to  the sum of the squares of the legs:

c^2=a^2+b^2.

The hypotenuse is the side with the greatest length.

Check all options:

1. c=5, a=3, b=4:

5^2=25,\\3^2+4^2=9+16=25,\\5^2=3^2+4^2 true.

2. c=14, a=4, b=11:

14^2=196,\\4^2+11^2=16+121=137,\\14^2\neq 4^2+11^2 false.

3. c=17, a=9, b=14:

17^2=289,\\9^2+14^2=81+196=277,\\17^2\neq 9^2+14^2 false.

4. c=16, a=8, b=14:

16^2=256,\\8^2+14^2=64+196=260,\\16^2\neq 8^2+14^2 false.

5. c=17, a=8, b=15:

17^2=289,\\8^2+15^2=64+225=289,\\17^2=8^2+15^2 true.

Answer: correct options are A and E.

Use Heron's formula to find the area of the triangle. Round to the nearest square foot.
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

A ≈ 2 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of a triangle using Heron's formula is

A = \sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}

where s is the semiperimeter and a, b , c the sides of the triangle.

s = \frac{a+b+c}{2} = \frac{4+4+1}{2} = \frac{9}{2} = 4.5

Then

A = \sqrt{4.5(4.5-4)(4.5-4)(4.5-1)}

   = \sqrt{4.5(0.5)(0.5)(3.5)}

   = \sqrt{3.9375}

   ≈ 1.9843...

   = 2 ft² ( to the nearest square foot )

Brandon rode in a taxi that charges a flat fee of $2.25 and an additional $0.40 per mile of his trip. If he paid $6.80 for the c
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

11 \frac{3}{8} miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how many miles Brandon rode, we can create an equation in slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

$2.25 is the flat fee, or the unchanging variable. This is our y-intercept, or b.

$0.40 is the changing variable, as it changes value depending on the amount of miles ridden. This is our slope, or m.

We know Brandon spent $6.80 on the cab ride. So, this is our y.

We get the equation: 6.80 = 0.40x + 2.25.

To solve, first subtract 2.25 from both sides of the equation:

6.80 - 2.25 = 0.40x + 2.25 - 2.25

We get: 4.55 = 0.40x

Now, just divide by 0.40 on both sides:

4.55 ÷ 0.40 = 0.40x ÷ 0.40

We get: 11.375 = x

So, Brandon rode for 11.375 miles. When converted to a mixed number, we get 11 \frac{3}{8} .

1. A line passes through (9, -9) and (10,-5).
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

1. y+5=4x-40

2.y=4x-45

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the slope of a line you do y₂-y₁/x₂-x₁ so we plug in the values -9+5/9-10 and we get -4

Point-slope form states y-y₁=m(x-x₁) where m is the slope so plug in the values we get y+5=4(x-10) and you get y+5=4x-40 then turn this equation into y=mx+b and get y= 4x-45
