Answer:

x = 1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

12.50x = 15

12.50/12.50 x = 15/12.50

x = 1.2

(Sorry i dont understand what you mean by percent increase)

Oscar is 16 yrs old and his sister is 12. what will be the ratio of Oscar's age to his sister's age in 2 years?Write as a fracti

just olya [345]

Oscar's age = 16
Sister's age = 12

Current year: 16 / 12
Simplest form: 4 / 3 ; both are divisible by 4.

2 years after: (16 + 2) / (12 + 2) = 18 / 14 ; add two years to both numbers.

Simplest form: of 18 / 14 is 9 / 7; both are divisible by 2.

4 Consider the triangle below.

Maurinko [17]

<h2>=>> <u>Solution (part A</u>) :</h2>

Given :

▪︎Triangle AMG is an isosceles triangle.

▪︎Measure of segment AM = (x+1.4) inches

▪︎Measure of segment MG = (2x+0.1) inches

▪︎Measure of segment AG = (3x-0.4) inches

▪︎segment AG is the base of triangle AMG.

Since AG is the base of the isosceles triangle AMG, segment AM and segment MG will be equal.

Which means :

$= \tt x + 1.4 = 2x + 0.1$

$= \tt x + 1.4 - 0.1 = 2x$

$= \tt \: x + 1.3 = 2x$

$= \tt 1.3 = 2x - x$

$\color{plum} \hookrightarrow \tt x = 1.3$

Thus, the value of x = 1.3

Therefore :

▪︎The value of x = 1.3

<h2>=>> <u>Solution (Part B)</u> :</h2>

We know that :

▪︎The value of x = 1.3

Which means :

The length of the leg AM :

$= \tt x + 1.4$

$= \tt 1.3 + 1.4$

$\color{plum} \tt leg \: AM= 2.7 \: inches$

Thus, the length of the leg AM = 2.7 inches

The length of leg MG :

$= \tt 2x + 0.1$

$= \tt2 \times 1.3 + 0.1$

$= \tt 2.6 + 0.1$

$\color{plum} \tt\: leg \:MG = 2.7 \: inches$

Thus, the length of the leg MG = 2.7 inches

Since the measure of the two legs are equal (2.7=2.7), we can conclude that we have found out the correct length of each leg.

Therefore :

▪︎Measure of leg AM = 2.7 inches

▪︎Measure of leg MG = 2.7 inches

<h2>=>> <u>Solution </u><u>(</u><u>part C</u><u>)</u> :</h2>

We know that :

Value of x = 1.3

Then, measure of the base AG :

$= \tt 3x - 0.4$

$= \tt 3 \times 1.3 - 0.4$

$= \tt 3.9 - 0.4$

$\color{plum}\tt \: Base \: AG = 3.5 \: inches$

Thus, the measure of the base = 3.5 inches

Therefore :

▪︎ the length of base AG = 3.5 inches.

A rectangular field 50 meters in width and 120 meters in length is divided into two fields by a diagonal line. What is the lengt

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

E. 300

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangle split in half diagonally yields 2 right triangles.

((For this problem, you are probably supposed to use the pythagorean theorem to find the diagonal length, and then calculate perimeter (length of fence around triangular field). In other words:

(sqrt( (50m)^2 + (120m)^2 )) + 50m + 120m)

))

By definition, the hypotenuse (diagonal) is the longest side.

This means that it must be longer than 120m.

If you add the 2 sides (50m + 120m), you get 170m.

Since the third side has to be longer than 120m, the answer _must_ be over 290m (170m + 120m).

300m is the only answer that fits.
