Data:

Humans (x) = 2 Legs
Horses (y) = 4 Legs

74 Heads
196 Legs

Solving:

Addition method

\left \{ {{x + y =74} \atop {2x + 4y =196}} \right.

Simplify by (-4) The first equation

\left \{ {{x + y =74(-4)} \atop {2x + 4y =196}} \right.
\left \{ {{-4x - \diagup\!\!\!\!\!4y =-296} \atop {2x + \diagup\!\!\!\!\!4y =196}} \right.
\left \{ {{-4x =-296} \atop {2y =196}} \right.
-2x = -100.simplify(-1)
2x = 100
x = \frac{100}{2}
\boxed{x = 50}

Now, to find the number of horses, I will use the following equation and I will replace the found value, we will have:

x + y = 74
50+y = 74

Number with incognito are to the left of the equality and numbers without incognito are to the right, remembering that when changing of side changes the signal.

y = 74-50
\boxed{y = 24}

Answer:
Humans = 50
Horses = 24

A regular pentagon has an apothem of 7.3 inches and a perimeter of 53 inches. What is the area of the pentagon? Round your answe
zvonat [6]

Answer:

Area pf the regular pentagon is 193inch^{2} to the nearest whole number

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are tasked with calculating the area of a regular pentagon, given the apothem and the perimeter

Mathematically, the area of a regular pentagon given the apothem and the perimeter can be calculated using the formula below;

Area of regular pentagon = 1/2 × apothem × perimeter

From the question, we can identify that the value of the apothem is 7.3 inches, while the value of the perimeter is 53 inches

We plug these values into the equation above to get;

Area = 1/2 × 7.3× 53 = 386.9/2 = 193.45 which is 193inch^{2} to the nearest whole number

The center of a circle is at (4,-3) and it’s radius is 3 units, which point lie on the circle
sergey [27]

Answer:

Any set of (x , y) whose distance from (4, -3) is 3 units lies on the circle.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance , use the formula

distance = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 -y_1)^2}

If distance < 3, (x, y) lies inside the circle.

If distance > 3, (x, y) lies outside the circle.

If distance = 3 (x, y) lies on the circle.

When the function is given in vertex form y=a(x-h)2+k, how is the vertex found?
Nat2105 [25]
Once you have it in that form, you just read off the values of h and k

For instance, if you had y = 2(x-3)^2 + 5, then h = 3 and k = 5. So the vertex is (h,k) = (3,5)<span />

yan [13]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

With the initial statement, when the trees  become very old, they stop flowering, it would be expected that only trees that has stopped flowering are to be considered because they are assumed to be old trees.

But with the additional information, we had to choose trees that were

no more than 240 cm tall, the choice of trees now is only those who are not more than 240 cm tall. This implies that the choice of trees to be considered now may be old or young, once they meet the required height.
