Answer:

BE = 22.4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Δ CAB and Δ CDE are similar , then ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

$\frac{CB}{CE}$ = $\frac{AB}{DE}$ , substitute values

$\frac{6.4}{CE}$ = $\frac{8}{20}$ ( cross- multiply )

8 CE = 128 ( divide both sides by 8 )

CE = 16 cm

Then

BE = BC + CE = 6.4 + 16 = 22.4 cm

Mother wants to divide $36 between her daughters Ava and Charlotte in the ratio of their ages. If Ava is 15 years old and Charlo

Fantom [35]

Answer:

Ava's share = $20

Charlotte's share = $16

Step-by-step explanation:

15x + 12x = 36 : multiply each girl's age by same amount and adding gives $36

27x = 36 : add x terms

x = 36 / 27 : divide both sides of equation by 27

x = 4 / 3

Ava's share = 15x = 15 * 4/3 = 20

Charlotte's share = 12x = 12 * 4/3 = 16

a group of astronauts launched a model rocket from a platform. Its flight path is modeled by h= -4t^2+24t+13 where h is the heig

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

6.5 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Keep in mind that when $h=0$ , this is the same height for both when the model rocket takes off and lands, so when the rocket lands, time is positive. Thus:

$h=-4t^2+24t+13\\\\0=-4t^2+24t+13\\\\t=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\ \\t=\frac{-24\pm\sqrt{24^2-4(-4)(13)}}{2(-4)}\\ \\t=\frac{-24\pm\sqrt{576+208}}{-8}\\\\t=\frac{-24\pm\sqrt{576+208}}{-8}\\\\t=\frac{-24\pm\sqrt{784}}{-8}\\\\t=\frac{-24\pm28}{-8}\\\\t=\frac{-24-28}{-8}\\ \\t=\frac{-52}{-8}\\ \\t=\frac{52}{8}\\\\t=6.5$

So, the amount of seconds that the model rocket stayed above the ground since it left the platform is 6.5 seconds
