Answer:

B) Adjacent

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypotenuse will ALWAYS be designated as the longest side in a right triangle.

Pretend that the angle (the one with the round line) is an eyeball that is looking outwards. The eye is looking out at side BC. That means that line BC is opposite of the angle.

This leaves one side left: the adjacent side. The adjacent side is the side next to the angle. But it is the side that is NOT the hypotenuse.

A candy store makes a 9-pound mixture of gummy candy, jelly beans, and hard candy. The cost of gummy candy is $2.00 per pound, j

Musya8 [376]

Let

x--------> the amount of gummy candy in pounds

y--------> the amount of jelly beans in pounds

z--------> the amount of hard candy in pounds

we know that

$x+y+z=9$ --------> equation $1$

$2x+3y+3z=23$ --------> equation $2$

$x=2y$ --------> equation $3$

Substitute equation $3$ in equation $1$ and equation $2$

$[2y]+y+z=9$ -----> $3y+z=9$ ------> equation $4$

$2[2y]+3y+3z=23$ -----> $7y+3z=23$ ------> equation $5$

using a graphing tool ------> Solve the system of equations

see the attached figure

the solution is the point $(3,2)$

$z=3\ pounds\\y=2\ pounds$

<u>Find the value of x</u>

$x=2y$

$x=2*2=4\ pounds$

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

the amount of gummy candy is $4\ pounds$

the amount of jelly beans is $2\ pounds$

the amount of hard candy is $3\ pounds$

How many times greater is The total area of Russia than the total area of Finland? Finland total area is 3.4 x 10 to the 5th pow

Luden [163]

Answer:

The answer to your question is Russia is 50 times greater than Finland.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Finland area = 3.4 x 10⁵ km²

Russia area = 1.7 x 10⁷ km²

Proportion = ?

Process

1.- Just divide the Russia's area by the Finland's area.

Proportion = $\frac{Finland's area}{Russia's area}$

Proportion = $\frac{1.7 x 10^{7} }{3.4 x 10^{5} }$

Porportion = 50

Variable y varies directly with variable x. If x = 12, then y = 3. What is the value of y

Monica [59]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of y when x = 8 we must first find the relationship between the two variables.

The statement

y varies directly with variable x is written as

y = kx

where k is the constant of proportionality

when

x = 12

y = 3

Substitute the values into the above formula and solve for k

That's

3 = 12k

Divide both sides by 12

$k = \frac{1}{4}$

So the formula for the variation is

$y = \frac{1}{4} x$

when

x = 8

$y = \frac{1}{4} \times 8$

we have the final answer as

Hope this helps you
