Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If MQ also bisects angle ∠LMP, then;

<LMQ + <QMP = <LMP

Also <LMQ = <QMP

The equation becomes <QMP + <QMP = <LMP

2<QMP = <LMP

Let <LMP be 8x+40° (This is an assumed value)

2(5x+10) = 8x+40

Open the parenthesis

10x+20 = 8x+40

10x-8x = 40-20

2x = 20

x = 20/2

x = 10

Find <QMP

Since <QMP = 5x+10

<QMP = 5(10)+10

<QMP = 50+10

<QMP = 60 degrees

Note that the angle <LMP was assumed. Any other function can be used depending on the question

Solve the quadratic equation y^2-2y-35=0

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Hello,

To solve we need to factor y^2-2y-35:

(y-7)(y+5)=0

Now solve for :

(When will (y-7)(y+5)equal zero?)

When y-7=0 or y+5=0

Solve for the 2 equations above and;

y= 7,-5

Hope this helps, have a great day!

Find the volume of the cone. Use 3.14 for π. Round to the nearest tenth.

Leviafan [203]

$Volume\,\,of\,\,cone=1527.1\,\,cm^3$

So, Option C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find Volume of cone.

We are given:

π = 3.14

Length = 27 cm

Diameter = 15 cm

The formula used to find Volume of cone is:

$Volume\,\,of\,\,cone=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h$

We are given diameter but we need radius in the formula

So, Radius = Diameter/2 = 15/2 = 7.5 cm

We need to find height of cone.

Using Pythagoras theorem:

$h^2=p^2+b^2\\ (27)^2=p^2+(7.5)^2\\729=p^2+56.25\\p^2=729-56.25\\p^2=672.75\\Taking\,\,square\,\,root:\\p=25.93$

So, Height of cone = p= 25.93

So, r= 7.5 and h= 25.93 and π = 3.14

Putting values in the formula:

$Volume\,\,of\,\,cone=\frac{1}{3}3.14*(7.5)^2*25.93$

$Volume\,\,of\,\,cone=1526.62$

Rounding off to the nearest tenth:

$Volume\,\,of\,\,cone=1527.1\,\,cm^3$

So, Option C is correct.

For football tryouts at a local school, 12 coaches and 42 players will split into groups. Each group have the same number of coa

melamori03 [73]

The biggest number of groups that can be formed is 6, because six is the greatest common factor of 12 and 42. There will be 2 coaches in each group because 6 x 2 = 12 and 7 players in each group because 7 x 6 = 42.

Tuan is playing a game, but the spinner is incomplete. If the numbers in the sections of the spinner represent the probabilities

ioda

The sum of the numbers should total to 1. Let us say that x is the missing number, therefore:

x + ¼ + ¼ + 1/5 = 1

x = 1 – ¼ - ¼ - 1/5

The numbers should have similar denominator:

x = 20/20 – 5/20 – 5/20 – 4/20

x = 6/20

x = 3/10
