Answer:

FH = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔGHE is a 5-12-13 triangle.

ΔEHF is a 3-4-5 triangle with a scale factor of 4, so side FH is 4·4 = 16 units.

_____

(3, 4, 5), (5, 12, 13), (7, 24, 25), (8, 15, 17) are all commonly used Pythagorean triples. The first two on the list are used in these triangles.

If you like, you can work out the numbers using the Pythagorean theorem, which tells you the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

For ΔEHG, that is ...

GE² = EH² + HG²

13² = EH² + 5²

EH² = 13² -5² = 169 -25 = 144

And for ΔEHF, ...

FE² = EH² +HF²

20² = 144 + HF²

400 -144 = HF² = 256

HF = √256 = 16

The length of side FH is 16 units.

Kate has a rectangular garden that is 8 feet long by 3 feet wide. She wishes to extend the length and width by the same amount i

elena55 [62]

Let the extension of the length and width be x.
The new dimensions are: Length = 8+x
Width =3+x
Area = 104 ft squared
Area of a rectangle = Length x Width
Therefore,
(8+x)(3+x) = 104
x^2 +11x +24=104
x^2 +11x +24-104=0
x^2 +11x-80=0

Factorize using splitting the middle term method. X^2 +16x-5x-80=0 x(x+16)-5(x+16)=0 (x-5)(x+16)=0 either x-5 = 0 or x+16=0 x=5 or x=-16 length and width measure cannot be negative. Therefore, the extension of the length and width is 5 feet each.

A person bought some cosmetics from wholesale market at the rate of Rs 360 per dozen he sells it at Rs 80 a pair find the gain p

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

33.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to calculate the unit selling price and cost of each cosmetics.

If a person bought some cosmetics from wholesale market at the rate of Rs 360 per dozen., then for 1 cosmetics, we will say;

x = 1 cosmetic

since 360 = 12 cosmetic

cross multiply

12x = 360

x = 360/12

x = 30

Hence the unit cost price of the cosmetics will be Rs. 30

Similarly, if he sells it at Rs 80 a pair, then he sold one cosmetic at 80/2 = Rs. 40 (a pair is 2 cosmetics)

Selling price per unit = Rs. 40

Cost price per unit = Rs. 30

percent gain = SP-CP/CP * 100%

percent gain = 40-30/30 * 100

percent gain = 10/30 * 100

percent gain = 100/3

percent gain = 33.33%

Hence the percentage gain is 33.33%

A multiple choice exam has 20 questions. Each question has 3 possible answers; there is no partial credit. Only 1 answer out of

amid [387]

Answer:To find out the theoretical probability of the case given, we need to make certain assumptions.

First, we'll assume that he'll attempt all of the questions, i.e he'll attempt all 10 questions.

Next assumption is that each option in each question is equally likely to be marked by the student.

This pretty much leads us to a binomial probability distribution.

Conditions are:

Answers 10 questions.

Each question has 4 options with only one correct answer and all other incorrect answers.

Student is equally likely to pick any outcome in any given question.

Hence, probability of choosing correct answer is 1/4 = 0.25. Probability of choosing incorrect answer is 1–1/4 = 3/4 = 0.75.

The number of trials is 10.

Total number of success is exactly 8 and failure is 2 amongst the 10 questions in any particular order.

Now, calculation is fairly simple.

Binomial probability distribution is such that…

P(8 correct ; 2 wrong)

= 10C8 × (0.25)^8 × (0.75)²

= 405/1048576 ≈ 3.862380981 × 10^-4 ≈ 0.000386

Math again yay!...Ew math

Sliva [168]

Answer:

The graph of g(x) is wider.

Step-by-step explanation:

Parent function:

$f(x)=x^2$

New function:

$g(x)=\left(\dfrac{1}{2}x\right)^2=\dfrac{1}{4}x^2$

Transformations:

For a > 0

$f(x)+a \implies f(x) \: \textsf{translated}\:a\:\textsf{units up}$

$f(x)-a \implies f(x) \: \textsf{translated}\:a\:\textsf{units down}$

$\begin{aligned} y =a\:f(x) \implies & f(x) \: \textsf{stretched/compressed vertically by a factor of}\:a\\ & \textsf{If }a > 1 \textsf{ it is stretched by a factor of}\: a\\ & \textsf{If }0 < a < 1 \textsf{ it is compressed by a factor of}\: a\\\end{aligned}$

$\begin{aligned} y=f(ax) \implies & f(x) \: \textsf{stretched/compressed horizontally by a factor of} \: a\\& \textsf{If }a > 1 \textsf{ it is compressed by a factor of}\: a\\ & \textsf{If }0 < a < 1 \textsf{ it is stretched by a factor of}\: a\\\end{aligned}$

If the parent function is shifted ¹/₄ unit up:

$\implies g(x)=x^2+\dfrac{1}{4}$

If the parent function is shifted ¹/₄ unit down:

$\implies g(x)=x^2-\dfrac{1}{4}$

If the parent function is compressed vertically by a factor of ¹/₄:

$\implies g(x)=\dfrac{1}{4}x^2$

If the parent function is stretched horizontally by a factor of ¹/₂:

$\implies g(x)=\left(\dfrac{1}{2}x\right)^2$

Therefore, a vertical compression and a horizontal stretch mean that the graph of g(x) is wider.

Brainliest if it its right

Anika [276]

Answer:

A = 40 $mm^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for finding the area of a trapezoid is $A= \frac{a + b}{2}h$ .

In this equation, a=4, b=6, h=8.

$A = \frac{4 + 6}{2}8$ .

4+6=10
10/2=5
5x8=40

Hope this helps!
