Answer:

Do you see the lines and how they are named? I am going to try and explain this in less words than I can. Where it says XS you have to match it up with the lines. But if it says that you have to find XSU (which it does not) you would have to go up all the way but you stop where it says the S so you wont go all the way up to the U. I hope this helps!

Triangles PQR and RST are similar right triangles. Which proportion can be used to show that the slope of LaTeX: \overline{P

alukav5142 [94]

Question:

Triangles PQR and RST are similar right triangles. Which proportion can be used to show that the slope of PR is equal to the slope of RT?

Answer:

$\frac{3 - 7}{-4 - (-7)} = \frac{-5 - 3}{2 - (-4)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

See attachment for complete question

From the attachment, we have that:

$P = (-7,7)$

$Q = (-7,3)$

$R = (-4,3)$

$S = (-4,5)$

$T = (2,-5)$

First, we need to calculate the slope (m) of PQR

Here, we consider P and R

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

Where

$P(x_1,y_1) = (-7,7)$

$R(x_2,y_2) = (-4,3)$

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$ becomes

$m = \frac{3 - 7}{-4 - (-7)}$ --------- (1)

Next, we calculate the slope (m) of RST

Here, we consider R and T

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

Where

$R(x_1,y_1) = (-4,3)$

$T (x_2,y_2)= (2,-5)$

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$ becomes

$m = \frac{-5 - 3}{2 - (-4)}$ ---------- (2)

Next, we equate (1) and (2)

$\frac{3 - 7}{-4 - (-7)} = \frac{-5 - 3}{2 - (-4)}$

From the list of given options (see attachment), option A answers the question

The city is replacing all the streets, curbs, and gutters in Middleville. The homeowners on both sides of the street are charged

bija089 [108]

Mr. Kyle will be expected to pay $8,100.

The total cost for his land would be 120 x 90 = 10,800.

Since the city is paying 25%, he must pay the other 75%.

0.75 x 10800 = 8100

The perimeter of a rectangular field is 60 meters. Its area is 200 square meters. Find its dimensions.

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

20 m by 10 m

Step-by-step explanation:

let w be width and l be length , then

2(l + w) = 60 ( divide both sides by 2 )

l + w = 30 ( subtract w from both sides )

l = 30 - w → (1)

lw = 200 → (2)

Substitute l = 30 - w into (2)

w(30 - w) = 200 ← distribute parenthesis on left side

30w - w² = 200 ( subtract 200 from both sides )

30w - w² - 200 = 0 ( multiply through by - 1 )

w² - 30w + 200 = 0 ← in standard form

(w - 10)(w - 20) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for w

w - 10 = 0 ⇒ w = 10

w - 20 = 0 ⇒ w = 20

Substitute these values into (1)

l = 30 - 10 = 20

l = 30 - 20 = 10

dimensions of field is 20 m by 10 m

13/10+2/100=?/100 do you guys know what it os

Mila [183]

Answer:

132

Step-by-step explanation:

13/10+2/100=?/100

Get a common denominator of 100 for the first term

13/10 * (10/10) +2/100=?/100

130/100 + 2/100 = ?/100

132/100 = ? /100

Find the speed of a race car if it travels 5 miles in 2 minutes and 30 seconds

Tomtit [17]

You first convert the 2 minutes and 30 seconds to 150 seconds.

Then, you take the 150s÷5m to get the number of seconds per mile.

The answer is 30s/m
