The height of dachshunds is usually 1/3 their length. If Mollie is 20 inches long, how tall is she?

This is a proportion problem.

Let's make her Length x and her height 1/3 x.

1/3 x = 20 inches

x = 6 2/3 inches

Molly's height is 6 2/3 inches.

Check it.

6 2/3 x 3 = ? (change the mixed number to a fraction)

20/3 x 3 = ? (multiply)

60/3 = ? (divide)

20 inches. Yes, it checks.

What is the length of the longest side of a triangle that has vertices at (-2,6) (-4,6) and (-4,4)?
zalisa [80]

Length (2, 6) to (-4, 6) is sqrt((x2 - x1))^2 + (y2 - y1)^2) = sqrt((-4 -2)^2 + (6 - 6)^2) = sqrt((-6)^2 + 0) = 6

Length (2, 6) to (-4, 4) is sqrt((-4 - 2)^2 + (4 - 6)^2) = sqrt((-6)^2 + (-2)^2) = sqrt(36 + 4) = sqrt(40)  = 2sqrt(10) units

Length (-4, 6) to (-4, 4) is sqrt((-4 - (-4))^2 + (4 - 6)^2) = sqrt(0^2 + (-2)^2) = 2

So the length of the longest side is 2sqrt(10) units

In the diagram below <br> Please help I’ll give brainliest
Luda [366]

Answer:

m<GFA = 110

Step-by-step explanation:

1. ABCD - parallelogram                          Definition of a parallelogram

                                                                   (AB ll CD) (AD ll BC)

2. m<B + m<C = 180                                    Consectuive angles in a

   110 + m<C = 180                                       parallelogram are supplementary

    m<C = 70                                    

3. m<GCB = 1/2 m<C                                  Definition of angles bisector

   m<GCB = 70

4. m<B = m<D = 110                                    Opposite angles in a

                                                                    parrallelogram are congruent

5. m<CDG = 1/2 m<D                                 Defintion of an angle bisector

  m<CDG = 55

6. m<GCB+m<CDG+m<CGD=180              Sum of anlges in a triangle (ΔCDG)

  70 + 55 + m<CGD = 180

   125 + m<CGD = 180

   m<CGD = 55

7. m<CGD + m<DGF = 180                            Linear pair, supplmentary angles

  55 + m<DGF = 180

  m<DGF = 125

8. m<C = m<A = 70                                     Opposite angles in a paralellogram

                                                                     are congruent

9. m<ADG = 1/2m<D                                       Definiton of an angle bisector

  m<ADG = 55

10.m<ADG+m<DFG+m<GFA+m<A=360        Sum of angles in quadrilateral

   55 + 125 + m<GFA + 70 = 360                    DGFA

    m<GFA + 250 = 360

   m<GFA = 110

The function f(x)=50⋅0.8x models the number of ants in Jonathan's ant farm after it is stricken by a deadly ant disease, where x
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In the exponential growth/decay function

y=a(b)^x, in our situation,

y is the number of ants remaining in the colony after the growth or decay,

a is the initial number of ants in the colony, and

b is the growth/decay rate.  Rule:  if b is greater than 1, the function is growth; if b is greater than 0 but less than 1, the function is decay.

Our equation looks like this (it's given):

y=50(.8)^x

a = 50, which is the initial number of ants in the colony.

b = .8 (which actually means that then number of ants is declining by 20% each week).  Since .8 is a fraction of 1, this is decay.

So far, we know that 1 and 4 are true.  Let's look at 5.  We have to do some solving to find out if it's true or not.  If the number of ants after x = 2 weeks is 32, then we plug in 2 for x and see if the y we get as the answer is 32:

y=50(.8)^2  and

y = 50(.64) so

y = 32

5 is true as well.  Let's test 6 by replacing x with 8 and seeing if y = 10:

y=50(.8)^8 and

y = 50(.16777216) so

y = 8.388

6 is not true.

1, 4, 5 are true
