Answer:

985.15mg

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation for how many milligrams of the drug should he receive every 12 hours

First step is to calculate the weight in kg

255 lbs = 255/2.2 = 115.9 kg

Second step is multiply mg/kg in order to get total medicine per day

Dose per day=115.9kg × 17 mg

Dose per day= 1,970.3

Third step is to calculate how many milligrams of the drug should he receive by dividing the day dose by 2

Dose milligrams=1,970.3/2

Dose milligrams=985.15mg

Therefore how many milligrams of the drug should he receive every 12 hours will be 985.15mg

ln 5
e = ?
x
Keep in mind that y=e and y = ln x are inverse functions of one another.
ln 5
e , we can drop both the "e" and the "ln 5." We are left with 5 (answer).
ln 5
Alternatively, we could take the ln of both sides of y = e

which will result in ln y = (ln 5) ln e. Note that ln e = 1 (these two functions are inverses of one another).

Then we are left with ln y = ln 5. Dropping the "ln" operator from both sides,

y=5 (same as before).

Linh buys two T-shirts for $12 each, a pair of shoes for $28, and a pair of jeans for $45. She has a coupon for 30 percent off h

Darina [25.2K]

12x2= $24
24+28+45= $97

So $97 is 100%

So 100%-30% =70% (30% off)
(note: 70% = 70/100 = 0.7)

97 x 0.7 = $67.90

A figure is composed of a rectangle and a right triangle. What is the area of the figure?

strojnjashka [21]

QUESTION 1

The figure is a tra-pezoid.

The area of a trapezoid is given by the formula;

$A=\frac{1}{2}(Sum\:of\:parallel\:sides)\times h$

We substitute the values to obtain;

$Area=\frac{1}{2}(13.2cm+8.4cm)\times 6cm$

$Area=\frac{1}{2}(21.6cm)\times 6cm$

$Area=64.8cm^2$

QUESTION 2

The approximate length of the ribbon is equal to the circumference of the circular table cloth.

We can find this by using the formula for calculating the circumference of a circle.

$C=2\pi r$

where $r=3.5ft$ is the radius of the circular table cloth.

We substitute this value and $\pi=3.14$ into the formula to get;

$C=2(3.14)(3.5)ft$

$C=21.98ft$

The approximate length of the ribbon is 22.0ft to the nearest tenth.

QUESTION 3

Type of quadrilateral:Rectangle

Explanation: A rectangle has 4 angles that are right angles.

The two pairs of opposite sides of a rectangle are also congruent.

QUESTION 4.

The circumference of a semi circle is calculated using the formula;

$C=\pi r$

where $r=12.5cm$ is the radius of the semicircle.

$C=3.14\times 12.5cm$

$C=39.25cm$

QUESTION 5

The area of the entire figure is the area of the semicircle plus the area of the isosceles triangle.

$Area=\frac{1}{2}\pi r^2+\frac{1}{2}bh$

$Area=\frac{1}{2}\times3.14\times12.5^2+\frac{1}{2}\times25\times 24$

$Area=345.3125+300$

$Area=645.3125cm^2$

$Area\approx645cm^2$

QUESTION 6

The area of the parallelogram is given by the formula;

$A=bh$

From the diagram, $b=y\:in.,h=3in.$ .

Given, A=23.7 inches squared.

We substitute the values to obtain;

$23.7=3y$

$y=\frac{23.7}{3}$

$y=7.9in.$

QUESTION 7

The area of a rectangle is given by the formula;

$Area=l\times b$

The area of the bigger rectangle $=9\times15=135in^2$

The area of the smaller rectangle $=8\times 13=104in^2$

The area of the shaded region $=135-104=31in^2$
