Find the height of the triangle in which A=192 cm^2

If the fuel tank in Jim's car holds 14 gallons of fuel, define a formula to determine the number of gallons of fuel in Jim's fue

salantis [7]

Considering that the car does 50 miles per gallon, the linear function for the number of gallons of fuel in Jim's fuel tank, n, in terms of the number of miles x that Jim has driven since filling his tank is given by:

$y = -0.02x + 14$

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>

A linear function is modeled by:

$y = mx + b$

In which:

m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.

b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0.

In this problem:

Jim's car holds 14 gallons of fuel, hence $b = 14$ .

Considering it does 50 miles per gallon, and the amount in the tank will decrease, the slope is $m = -\frac{1}{50} = -0.02$ .

Hence, the function is:

$y = -0.02x + 14$

Joe can cut and split a cord of firewood in 3 fewer hours than Dwight can. When they work together, it takes them 2 hours. How

aalyn [17]

Answer:

Dwight will take 6 hours to finish the job alone and Joe will take 3 hours to finish the job alone.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the time taken by Dwight to split a cord of firewood = K hrs

So, the per hour rate of Dwight = $(\frac{1}{K})$

As, Joe uses 3 LESS hours then Dwight.

So, the time taken by Joe to split a cord of firewood = (K- 3) hrs

So, the per hour rate of Joe = $(\frac{1}{K-3})$

Now, when both of them wok together, it takes them 2 hours.

So, the per hour rate of BOTH of them = $(\frac{1}{2})$

⇒ Per hour rate of ( Dwight + Joe) = $(\frac{1}{2} )$

$\implies (\frac{1}{K}) + (\frac{1}{K-3}) = (\frac{1}{2})$

Now, solving for the value of K , we get:

$(\frac{1}{K}) + (\frac{1}{K-3}) = (\frac{1}{2})\\\implies \frac{(K-3) + K}{K (K-3)} = (\frac{1}{2})\\\implies 2(2K -3) = K^2 - 3K\\\implies k^2 - 3K -4K +6 = 0\\\implies K^2 - 7K + 6= 0\\\implies K^2 - 6K - K + 6= 0\\\implies K(K-6) -1(K - 6)= 0\\\implies (K-6)(K-1) = 0$

Implies either K = 6 Or K = 1

But if K = 1, (K-3) = 1- 3 = -2 hours would be A CONTRADICTION.

⇒ K = 6 hours

Hence, Dwight will take 6 hours to finish the job alone and Joe will take (k-3) = (6-3) = 3 hours to finish the job alone.

Can you help me with this question?

Answer:

16.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle internal to the triangle at B is the supplement of the one shown, so is 65°. That is equal to the angle internal to the triangle at D. Since the vertical angles at C are congruent, the two triangles are similar by the AA theorem.

Corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional, so we can write the proportion shown in the attachment:

BC/FC = DC/AC

BC = FC(DC/AC) = 21.6(7.2/9.6)

BC = 16.2 . . . . matches the first choice

The two-way table shows the number of students in a school who have rabbits and/or birds as pets:

SashulF [63]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a total of 18+22 = 40 people with birds. There are a total of 18+25 = 43 people with rabbits.

This is a difference of 43-40 = 3 people.
