Answer:

18 children

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

240 = 12x +8y

<em>Required (missing part of the question):</em>

<em>Number of children that will be able to go to the zoo if 8 adult tickets are purchased</em>

 

<em>The graph is missing. However, the question can be solved without the graph.</em>

<em />

From the question and equation, we can deduce the following:

  • x represents adults
  • y represents children

So, when 8 adult tickets were sold.

This means

x = 8

Substitute 8 for x in 240 = 12x +8y

240= 12 * 8 + 8y

240= 96+ 8y

Subtract 96 from both sides

240 - 96 = 96 - 96 + 8y

144 =  8y

8y = 144

Solve for y

y= \frac{144}{8}

y= 18

<em>This means that 18 children will be able to go</em>

What are the coordinates of the circumcenter of a triangle with vertices A(−3, 3) , B(−1, 3) , and C(−1, −1) ?
Shtirlitz [24]
Hello Missjay12,

Step 1 :
From the coordinates we have to find the slopes and midpoints of the lines.

Step 2 :
Find the slope of the bisectors and now find the equations of two lines by using slope and one mid points.

Step 3 :
Solve any two pair of equations and find the intersection point.

Step 4 :
The point thus found is the circumcenter of the given triangle.


so<span> the coordinates of the circumcenter of a triangle with vertices A(−3, 3) , B(−1, 3) , and C(−1, −1)</span> is, -4, 0.

The edge length of a cube is 17 cm. Identify the length of its diagonal. Round to the nearest tenth, if necessary. HELP PLEASE!!
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

29.4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the space diagonal can be found to be the root of the squares of the three orthogonal edge lengths. For a cube, those edge lengths are all the same, so the diagonal length is ...

d = √(17^2 + 17^2 +17^2) = 17√3 ≈ 29.4 . . . . cm

_____

Consider a rectangular prism with edge lengths a, b, c. Then the face diagonal of the face perpendicular to edge "a" has length ...

(face diagonal)^2 = (b^2 +c^2)

and the space diagonal has length ...

(space diagonal)^2 = a^2 + (face diagonal)^2 = a^2 +b^2 +c^2

So, the length of the space diagonal is ...

space diagonal = √(a^2 +b^2 +c^2)

when the prism is a cube, these are all the same (a=b=c). This is the formula we used above.

At a competition with 8 runners, 2 medals are awarded for first and second
Dafna1 [17]

Answer: Option 'A' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation :

Since we have given that

Number of medals = 2

Number of runners = 8

We need to find the number of ways to award the medals.

We would use "fundamental theorem of counting" to find the number of ways.

So, number of ways is given by

8 × 7 = 56

Hence, option 'A' is correct.
