The triangle ABC is similar to triangle LMP. The order here is very important. The letters correspond to one another
A corresponds to L (first letters of each sequence)
B corresponds to M (second letters of each sequence)
C corresponds to P (third letters of each sequence)
In a similar fashion, the segments also correspond to one another.
AB corresponds to LM (first two letters of each sequence)
AC corresponds to LP (first and last letters of each sequence)
BC corresponds to MP (last two letters of each sequence)
------------------------------------
AB corresponds to LM. AB is 4 units long. LM is 2 units long. So AB is twice as long as LM. This ratio (of 2:1) will be applied to every paired corresponding value.
Also, the right angle is at angle M for triangle LMP. The right angle will be at angle B for triangle ABC (since B corresponds to M). The answer will have an x coordinate of 7. So the answer is either choice B or choice C.
If we move 4 units down from point B, we land on (7,-10). That isn't listed as an answer choice. Let's try moving 4 units up from point B. We land on (7,-2). This is an answer choice
So the final answer is choice C) (7,-2)
I put it them on a graph, they look like a straight line to me. That makes it Linear!
Answer:
125
Step-by-step explanation:
120 - 90 = 25 x 5 = 125
Basically its 250 + 16x = 210 + 18x where x = the number of hours doing the job.
Solving, we get 40 = 2x, x =20
The jobs has to be 20 hours long in order for their two painting jobs to be equally priced.
Hope this helped!
All we need to do is to divide the number of eligible voters by 62% to find out how many people have been registered:
55200 ÷ 62% =
= 55200 ÷ 62/100 =
= 55200 * 100/62 =
= 5520000 / 62 =
= 89032,25806451613 ≈ (note the rounding to the nearest whole number)
≈ 89032
Doublecheck:
89032 * 62% =
= 89032 * 62/100 =
= 5519984 / 100 =
= 55199,84 ≈ (the difference is because of the rounding before)
≈ 55200
Answer: There were 89,032 people registered.
