Answer:

D 5.46 x 10^10

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that  speed is the rate of change of distance with time and may be expressed mathematically as

speed = Distance/time

Distance = speed * time

Hence given that the speed of light

= 3 × 10^8 meters per second

Time taken for light to travel between the given distance

= 1.82 × 10^2 seconds

substituting the given values

Distance = 3 × 10^8 * 1.82 × 10^2

= 5.46 * 10^(8+2)

= 5.46 * 10^10 meters

at age of 21 he will have 1500 * 1,065^21

if he waits the difference will be 1500 * 1,065^21 - 1500 * 1,065^18 = $969.04

A fish tank has 35 gallons of water in it, but suddenly starts leaking. Water is leaking from the tank at a rate of 1/4 gallon p
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

35 - m

Step-by-step explanation:

A tank containing 35 gallons of water is leaking at a rate of gallon per minute.

"m" represents the number of minutes spent

Number of gallons left in the tank = initial amount of water present – leaked amount of water

Number of gallons of water left = 35 gallons – number of minutes spent  rate of leakage.

Number of gallons of water left = 35 gallons – m minutes  1 gallons per minute

A store is having a sale on walnuts and chocolate chips. For 7 pounds of walnuts and 9 pounds of chocolate chips, the total cost
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

  • Walnuts  cost $1.75, chocolate chips cost $2.75

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Let the costs be:</h3>

  • Walnuts - x
  • Chocolate chips - y

<h3>Set equations as per question</h3>

For 7 pounds of walnuts and 9 pounds of chocolate chips, the total cost is $37:

  • 7x + 9y = 37

For 5 pounds of walnuts and 3 pounds of chocolate chips, the total cost is $17:

  • 5x + 3y = 17

<h3>Solve the system by elimination</h3>

Multiply the second equation by 3 and subtract the first equation, solve for x:

  • 3(5x + 3y) - (7x + 9y) = 3(17) - 37
  • 15x + 9y - 7x - 9y = 51 - 37
  • 8x = 14
  • x = 14/8
  • x = 1.75

Find the value of y:

  • 7*1.75 + 9y = 37
  • 12.25 + 9y = 37
  • 9y = 37 - 12.25
  • 9y = 24.75
  • y = 24.75/9
  • y = 2.75

5. Each pair of polygons below are similar. Show your work! Solve for x:
Stella [2.4K]
Since they are similar, you need to find the ratio of similarity (I made up the term, there is probably a correct one that I can’t remember).

If you divide 16/40, you’ll find that that ratio is 2.5. So then you just multiply 16 x 2.5. You’ll get 18.

18 is the length of the top of the trapezoid.

You set 18=2x+4 and solve it algebraically. Subtract 4 from both sides.

14=2x
Divide by 2 and x=7

(You can also check that the ratio is right by 16/18 is the same decimal value as 40/45. You’ll get .88888...)

If angle "a" measures 42° the the other angles that will be congruent to angle "a" and also measure 42° will be angle d, angle e and angle h .

In the question ,

a figure is given ,

From the figure we can see that 2 parallel lines are cut by a transversal .

So ,

angle a = angle d   .......because vertically opposite angles .

angle a = angle e   ...because corresponding angles are equal in measure

also

angle e = angle h      .... because vertically opposite angles .

Therefore , If angle "a" measures 42° the the other angles that will be congruent to angle "a" and also measure 42° will be angle d, angle e and angle h , the correct option is (a) .
