Given that quadrilateral QRST is a square.

Each angle of a square is of 90 degrees.

Angle <RQT is also an angle of 90 degrees.

We also given angle RQT = 3x - 6.

So, we can setup an equation as 3x-6 =90.

Now, we need to solve the equation for x.

6 is being subtracted from left side.

We always apply reverse operation. Reverse operation of subtraction is addition.

So, adding 6 on both sides of the equation, we get

3x-6+6 =90+6.

3x = 96.

3 is being multipied with x, in order to remove that 3, we need to apply reverse operation of multiplication.

So, dividing both sides by 3.

$\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{96}{3}$

x=32 (final answer).

A circle passes through points A(7,4), B(10,6), C(12,3). Show that AC must be the diameter of the circle.

Artist 52 [7]

so we have three points, A, B and C, if indeed AC is the diameter of the circle, then half the distance of AC is its radius, and the midpoint of AC is the center of the circle, morever, since B is also on the circle, the distance from B to the center must be the same radius distance.

in short, half the distance of AC must be equals to the distance of B to the midpoint of AC, if indeed AC is the diameter.

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points } \\\\ A(\stackrel{x_1}{7}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{4})\qquad C(\stackrel{x_2}{12}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{3}) \qquad \left(\cfrac{ x_2 + x_1}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ y_2 + y_1}{2} \right) \\\\\\ \left( \cfrac{12+7}{2}~~,~~\cfrac{3+4}{2} \right)\implies \left( \cfrac{19}{2}~~,~~\cfrac{7}{2} \right)=M\impliedby \textit{center of the circle}$

now, let's check the distance from say A to the center, and check the distance of B to the center, if it's indeed the center, they'll be the same and thus AC its diameter.

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points} \\\\ A(\stackrel{x_1}{7}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{4})\qquad M(\stackrel{x_2}{\frac{19}{2}}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{\frac{7}{2}})\qquad \qquad d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2} \\\\\\ AM=\sqrt{\left( \frac{19}{2}-7 \right)^2+\left( \frac{7}{2}-4 \right)^2} \\\\\\ AM=\sqrt{\left( \frac{5}{2}\right)^2+\left( -\frac{1}{2} \right)^2}\implies \boxed{AM\approx 2.549509756796392} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points} \\\\ B(\stackrel{x_1}{10}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{6})\qquad M(\stackrel{x_2}{\frac{19}{2}}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{\frac{7}{2}}) \\\\\\ BM=\sqrt{\left( \frac{19}{2}-10 \right)^2+\left( \frac{7}{2}-6 \right)^2} \\\\\\ BM=\sqrt{\left( -\frac{1}{2}\right)^2+\left( -\frac{5}{2} \right)^2}\implies \boxed{BM\approx 2.549509756796392}$

the functuon y=30+5x represents the cost y (in dollars) of having your dog groomed and buying x extra services. does this situat

Sveta_85 [38]

We want to see if the given function represents a linear function.

We will see that yes, it does.

So we have the function:

y = f(x) = 30 + 5*x

And a general linear function is written as:

y = a*x + b

where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Comparing these two, we can see that both have the same general shape, thus, our function is also a linear function.

A graph of our function also can be seen below, where it is evident that it is a line.

The Fuschia Bot clicks ____ times in 0.75 sec, and its Unit Rate is 8 clicks per second. Find the number of clicks.

yan [13]

Answer: The Fuschia Bot clicks _6_ times in 0.75 sec,

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the unit rate by time:

.75 sec × 8 clicks/sec

Seconds cancel. .75(8) = 6 clicks

The perimeter of a rectangular field is 374 yard. If the length of the field is 99 yards, what is its width?

likoan [24]

The perimeter of a rectangle is 2*L+2*W. Knowing that length is 99, we do 2*99 to get 198.Do 374-198, which is 176, we know that that is twice the length of the width. Therefore the width is 176/2, which is 88.
