Find the measure of angle b.

A car moving at a constant speed travels 88 feet in 2 seconds. Use a proportion to find how many feet it travels in one minute

Yuki888 [10]

88 feet in 2 seconds
how many feet in 1 minute?
1 minute is 60 seconds

so, we can write a proportion and solve
feet/ seconds = feet/seconds
88/2 = x / 60
cross multiply
(88 * 60 ) = 2 * x
5280 = 2x
divide both sides by 2
2640 = x

To check:
88/2 =?= 2640 / 60
44 = 44

So the car travels 2640 feet in 60 seconds, or 1 minute.

(btw just in case you wanted to know also, 2640 feet is equal to 0.5 of a mile, that car travels 0.5 miles in 1 minute)

Hope this helps

A line passes through the point , −8−3 and has a slope of 34 . Write an equation in slope-intercept form for this line.

koban [17]

First use the point slope form

y-y1=m(x-x1)
plug in the ordered pair to the y1 and x1 so
y--3=m(x--8)
add the slope and make the double minus into a plus

y+3=34(x+8)
then you can distribute the 34

y+3=34x+272

then to get it to slope intercept you subtract 3 from both sides of the equation to make it y=mx+b so

y=34x+269

1. If a scale factor is applied to a figure and all dimensions are changed proportionally, what is the effect on the perimeter o

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

Part 1) The perimeter of the new figure must be equal to the perimeter of the original figure multiplied by the scale factor (see the explanation)

Part 2) The area of the new figure must be equal to the area of the original figure multiplied by the scale factor squared

Part 3) The new figure and the original figure are not similar figures (see the explanation)

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) If a scale factor is applied to a figure and all dimensions are changed proportionally, what is the effect on the perimeter of the figure?

we know that

If all dimensions are changed proportionally, then the new figure and the original figure are similar

When two figures are similar, the ratio of its perimeters is equal to the scale factor

so

The perimeter of the new figure must be equal to the perimeter of the original figure multiplied by the scale factor

Part 2) If a scale factor is applied to a figure and all dimensions are changed proportionally, what is the effect on the area of the figure?

we know that

If all dimensions are changed proportionally, then the new figure and the original figure are similar

When two figures are similar, the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared

so

The area of the new figure must be equal to the area of the original figure multiplied by the scale factor squared

Part 3) What would happen to the perimeter and area of a figure if the dimensions were changed NON-proportionally? For example, if the length of a rectangle was tripled, but the width did not change? Or if the length was tripled and the width was decreased by a factor of 1/4?

we know that

If the dimensions were changed NON-proportionally, then the ratio of the corresponding sides of the new figure and the original figure are not proportional

That means

The new figure and the original figure are not similar figures

therefore

Corresponding sides are not proportional and corresponding angles are not congruent

so

A) If the length of a rectangle was tripled, but the width did not change?

Perimeter

The original perimeter is P=2L+2W

The new perimeter would be P=2(3L)+2W ----> P=6L+2W

The perimeter of the new figure is greater than the perimeter of the original figure but are not proportionals

Area

The original area is A=LW

The new area would be A=(3L)(W) ----> A=3LW

The area of the new figure is three times the area of the original figure but its ratio is not equal to the scale factor squared, because there is no single scale factor

B) If the length was tripled and the width was decreased by a factor of 1/4?

Perimeter

The original perimeter is P=2L+2W

The new perimeter would be P=2(3L)+2(W/4) ----> P=6L+W/2

The perimeter of the new figure and the perimeter of the original figure are not proportionals

Area

The original area is A=LW

The new area would be A=(3L)(W/4) ----> A=(3/4)LW

The area of the new figure is three-fourth times the area of the original figure but its ratio is not equal to the scale factor squared, because there is no single scale factor

Which statement describes the end behavior of the function f(x)=3|X-7|-7

ra1l [238]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

absolute value is always positive

or

|x-3|≥0

f(x)≥-7

f(x) is open above.

it starts from above x-axis on the left and ends above x -axis.

Ilya [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

p/100* 400=80

*100 *100

400p=8000

:400 :400

p=20

With 5% significant level I think we consider that 22% likes the drink
