Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
125
Step-by-step explanation:
since you take away 2/5 of the original number to get 75, 75 is equal to 3/5's of the original. You then divide 75 by 3, get 25, then multiply 25 by 5 to find the answer which is 125.
Answer:
8 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the statement we have that they first made two identical square pyramids, each with a base area of 100 square inches.
Ab = s ^ 2 = 100
Therefore each side would be:
s = (100) ^ (1/2)
s = 10
So, side of the square base = 10 inches
Then they tell us that they glued the bases of the pyramids together to form the precious stone. The surface area of the gemstone is 520 square inches, so for a single pyramid it would be:
Ap = 520/2 = 260
For an area of the square pyramid we have the following equation:
Ap = 2 * x * s + s ^ 2
Where x is the height of each triangular surface and s is the side of the square base
Replacing we have:
260 = 2 * x * 10 + 10 ^ 2
20 * x + 100 = 260
20 * x = 160
x = 160/20
x = 8
Therefore, the value of x is 8 inches.
This problem can be readily solved if we are familiar with the point-slope form of straight lines:
y-y0=m(x-x0) ...................................(1)
where
m=slope of line
(x0,y0) is a point through which the line passes.
We know that the line passes through A(3,-6), B(1,2)
All options have a slope of -4, so that should not be a problem. In fact, if we check the slope=(yb-ya)/(xb-xa), we do find that the slope m=-4.
So we can check which line passes through which point:
a. y+6=-4(x-3)
Rearrange to the form of equation (1) above,
y-(-6)=-4(x-3) means that line passes through A(3,-6) => ok
b. y-1=-4(x-2) means line passes through (2,1), which is neither A nor B
****** this equation is not the line passing through A & B *****
c. y=-4x+6 subtract 2 from both sides (to make the y-coordinate 2)
y-2 = -4x+4, rearrange
y-2 = -4(x-1)
which means that it passes through B(1,2), so ok
d. y-2=-4(x-1)
this is the same as the previous equation, so it passes through B(1,2),
this equation is ok.
Answer: the equation y-1=-4(x-2) does NOT pass through both A and B.
