Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

we have a 51 in sandwich

let a piece be x

we have x= shorter piece

another piece is x+6

another piece (x+6)-9=x-3

x+x+6+x-3=51

3x=51-3

3x=48

x=48/3=16

x=16, longer piece is 16+6=22, shorter piece =10

<h3>Answer:  Approximately 191 bees</h3>

================================================

Work Shown:

One way to express exponential form is to use

y = a*b^x

where 'a' is the initial value and 'b' is linked to the growth rate.

Since we're told 34 bees are there initially, we know a = 34.

Then after 4 days, we have 48 bees. So we can say,

y = a*b^x

y = 34*b^x

48 = 34*b^4

48/34 = b^4

24/17 = b^4

b^4 = 24/17

b = (24/17)^(1/4)

b = 1.090035

Which is approximate.

The function updates to

y = a*b^x

y = 34*(1.090035)^x

------------------------

As a way to check to see if we have the right function, plug in x = 0 and we find:

y = 34*(1.090035)^x

y = 34*(1.090035)^0

y = 34*(1)

y = 34

So there are 34 bees on day 0, ie the starting day.

Plug in x = 4

y = 34*(1.090035)^x

y = 34*(1.090035)^4

y = 34*1.4117629

y = 47.9999386

Due to rounding error we don't land on 48 exactly, but we can round to this value.

We see that after 4 days, there are 48 bees.

So we confirmed the correct exponential function.

------------------------

At this point we can find out how many bees there are expected to be after 20 days.

Plug in x = 20 to get

y = 34*(1.090035)^x

y = 34*(1.090035)^20

y = 190.672374978452

Round to the nearest whole number to get 191.

There are expected to be roughly 191 bees on day 20.

Which of the following theorems verifies that ABC~WXY?
Flura [38]

Answer:

ABC~WXY by AA

Step-by-step explanation:

In ΔABC

∠B = 90°

∠A = 27°

To Find ∠C

Angle sum property: The sum of all angles of triangle is 180°

∠A+∠B+∠C=180°

27°+90°+∠C=180°

∠C=180°-117°

∠C=63°

In ΔWXY

∠X = 90°

∠Y = 63°

We will use angle sum property

So, ∠W+∠Y+∠X=180°

90°+63°+∠W=180°

∠W=180°-(90°+63°)

∠W=27°

So, ∠A=∠W

∠B =∠X

∠C = ∠Y

So, ABC~WXY by Angle - Angle property.

Hence ABC~WXY by AA
