Answer:

The student took 2.5 minutes to paint 1 square foot.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to know how long the student took to paint each square foot we first need to know the total area of the bulletin board. Since it is a rectangle we can compute it's area by multiplying the width and the height. That is:

area = 2*3 = 6 square foot

Since the student took 15 minutes to paint the whole board the pace at which he was working can be calculated by dividing the total area of the board by the time he took to paint all of it. So we have:

pace = 6/15 = 0.4 foot/min

To find how long it took him to paint 1 square foot we can divide it by the pace he was painting. We have:

time = 1/0.4 = 2.5 minutes

The student took 2.5 minutes to paint 1 square foot.

Lionel wants to buy a belt that costs $22. He also wants to buy some shirts that are on sale for $17 each. He has $80. What ineq
Masteriza [31]
Inequality would be: 22 + 17x ≤ 80
Where, x = Number of shirts, that he can buy

Solving: 17x ≤ 58
x ≤ 58/17
x ≤ 3.41

In short, He can buy 3 shirts only.

Hope this helps!

Which part of the proof does the fourth statement and reason represent?
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

Option B is correct.

Reason:It is an argument

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: AB \cong BC  and BC \cong EF

By transitive property:  a = b  and b = c then, a =c

⇒AB \cong EF

AB = EF                                [def of \cong segment]

By Segment Addition Postulate states that given  two points A and C, and a third point B lies on the line segment AC if and only if the distances between the  points satisfy the equation

AB + BC = AC.

Since, the line segment EG , F lies on the line segment;

then, by segment addition postulates we have;

EG = EF + FG

By substitution AB=EF

⇒ EG = AB + FG                     hence proved!

Since, in the fourth statement reason is:  It is an argument

Which method would you use to prove that the two triangles are congruent?
IrinaVladis [17]
Aas is what you would use because it would be giving you two angles and only one side that isn't in between the two angles.
