Answer:

length of BC = 5 1/4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a triangle = 1/2×base×height

Area = 4 3/8 square feet

Base = AC= 1 2/3 feet

Height = BC = ?

Area of a triangle = 1/2×base×height

4 3/8 = 1/2 × 1 2/3 × height

35/8 = 1/2 × 5/3 × height

35/8 = 5/6 × height

Height = 35/8 ÷ 5/6

= 35/8 × 6/5

= (35 × 6) / (8 × 5)

= 210 / 40

= 5 1/4 feet

Height = BC = 5 1/4 feet

length of BC = 5 1/4 feet

Select interior, exterior, or on the circle (x - 5) 2 + (y + 3) 2 = 25 for the following point. (2, 3)

lozanna [386]

Standard equation of a circle: (x-h)² + (y-k)² = r² where (h, k) is the center and r is the radius. In the case of our equation here, (x-5)² + (y+3)² = 25, we can conclude that our circle has a center at (5, -3) and a radius of 5 units.

We can use the distance formula with the center (5, -3) and our point (2, 3) to see how far away they are...if the distance between them is less than the radius of the circle, it is on the interior. If it's equal, it's on the circle. If it's greater, it's on the exterior.

Distance = $\sqrt{(y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2-x_1)^2}$

Distance = $\sqrt{(-3-3)^2+(5-2)^2}$

Distance = $\sqrt{(-6)^2+3^2}$

Distance = $\sqrt{36+9}$

Distance = $\sqrt{45}\approx6.7082$

$6.7082>5,\ so\ (2,3)\ is\ on\ the\ \boxed{exterior}$

A wallet contains $460 in $5, $10, and $20 bills. The number of $5 bills exceeds twice the number of $10 bills by 4, and the num

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

Number of $5 bills = 32

Number of $10 bills = 14

Number of $20 bills = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x number of $5, y number of $10 and z number of $20

The number of $5 bills exceeds twice the number of $10 bills by 4.

Therefore, x = 2y + 4

The number of $20 bills is 6 fewer than the number of $10 bills.

Therefore, z = y - 6

A wallet contains $460 in $5, $10, and $20 bills.

Therefore,

5x + 10y + 20z = 460

Substitute x and y into equation

5(2y+4) + 10y + 20(y-6) = 460

10y + 20 + 10y + 20y - 120 = 460

40y - 100 = 460

40y = 460 + 100

40y = 560

y = 14

Put the value of y into x = 2y + 4 and solve for x

x = 2(14) + 4

x = 32

Put the value of y into z = y - 6 and solve for z

z = 14 - 6

z = 8

Hence, the each type of bills,

Number of $5 bills = 32

Number of $10 bills = 14

Number of $20 bills = 8
