Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagoras theorem states that for a right angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse side is equal to the sum of the square of the remaining sides. The hypotenuse is the longest side (that is side opposite to the 90° angle).

In right angle triangle ABD:

AB² = AD² + BD²     (1)

In right angle triangle ACD:

AC² = AD² + CD²      (2)

Also:

AC² + AB² = BC²       (3)

But BC = BD + CD

AC² + AB² = (BD + CD)²     (4)

Adding equation 1 and 2 gives:

AB² + AC² = (AD² + BD²) + (AD² + CD²)  

AB² + AC² = 2AD² + BD² + CD²

substituting AC² + AB² = (BD + CD)²:

(BD + CD)² = 2AD² + BD² + CD²

BD² + 2(BD)(CD)+ CD² = 2AD² + BD² + CD²

2AD² = 2(BD)(CD)

AD² = BD * CD

Suppose you are determining the growth rate of two species of plants. Species A is 25 cm tall and grows 3 cm per month. Species
jarptica [38.1K]
If the growth rate is a constant, we can model it using a linear equation:

y = b + ax

where b = initial value, a = growth rate.
In this case, x = m = number of months.

Let's find the equation for the growth of each species.

Species A:
Initial height = b = 25 cm
Growth rate = a = 3 cm per month
So its height can be modeled by H(m) = 25 + 3m

Species B:
Initial height = b = 10 cm
Growth rate = a = 8 cm per month
So its height can be modeled by H(m) = 10 + 8m

Thus the answer is A: H(m) = 25 + 3m and B: H(m) = 10 + 8m.

1/3 cup of flour is used to make 5 dinner rolls.
RoseWind [281]

we know that

\frac{1}{3} cup of flour is used to make 5 dinner rolls.

Part a) How much flour is needed to make one dinner roll?

by using proportion

\frac{\frac{1}{3}}{5}  =\frac{x}{1} \\ \\ x=\frac{\frac{1}{3}}{5}\\ \\ x=\frac{1}{15}

therefore

the answer Part a) is

To make one dinner roll is needed \frac{1}{15} cup of flour

Part b) How many cups of flour are needed to make 3 dozen dinner rolls?

Multiply the value obtained in part a) by 36

so

\frac{1}{15} *36=\frac{36}{15} \\ \\ =\frac{12}{5}

\frac{12}{5} =2\frac{2}{5}

therefore

the answer Part b) is

To make 3 dozen dinner rolls are needed 2\frac{2}{5} cup of flour

Part c) How many rolls can you make with 5 2/3 cups of flour?

5\frac{2}{3} =\frac{17}{3}

by using proportion

\frac{\frac{1}{3}}{5}  =\frac{\frac{17}{3}}{x} \\ \\ \frac{x}{3} =\frac{85}{3} \\ \\ x=85

therefore

the answer part c) is

85 rolls

<1 and <2 form a linear pair. If m<1= 4m<2, find the measure of each of the two angles.
ozzi

Answer:

  • The angle ∠1 = x = 36°
  • The angle ∠2 = 4x = 4(36°) = 144°

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that when two lines meet or intersect, we get a linear pair of angles.

Linear pairs are basically two adjacent angles that form a line.

The measure of two adjacent angles forming a straight line is 180, meaning they are supplementary.

We are given that <1 and <2 forms a linear pair, and

m∠1 = 4m∠2

It means the angle ∠1 is 4 times the measure of angle ∠2.

Let the angle ∠1 be = x

As the angle 1 is 4 times the measure of angle ∠2, so

The angle 2 will be = 4x

As <1 and <2 forms a linear pair, thus the measure of the sum of <1 and <2 will be 180°, so

x + 4x = 180

5x = 180

divide both sides by 5

5x/5 = 180/5

x = 36°

Therefore,

  • The angle ∠1 = x = 36°
  • The angle ∠2 = 4x = 4(36°) = 144°
