QveST [7]2 years ago

Answer:

a) 3/7

b) $14

Step-by-step explanation:

let the total of his Money be x

on some comics = 3/7 of x

\frac{3}{7}  \times x \:  =  \frac{3x}{7}

remaining money = x - 3x/7

x -  \frac{3x}{7}  =  \frac{7x - 3x}{7}  =  \frac{4x}{7}

on a pack of cards = 1/4 of 4x/7

\frac{1}{4}  \times  \frac{4x}{7}  =  \frac{4x}{28}  =  \frac{x}{7}

a) left fraction = total money - all spent money

<em>note that</em>; all spent money = money spent on some comics and pack of cards

x - ( \frac{3x}{7} +   \frac{x}{7} )

x - ( \frac{3x  + x }{7} )

x -  \frac{4x}{7}  =  \frac{7x - 4x}{7}  =  \frac{3x}{7}

left fraction = 3/7 of the money

b) left money = 3x/7

but since left money is $6

therefore, $6 = 3x/7

multiply both sides by 7

6 \times 7 =  \frac{3x}{7}  \times 7

42= 3x

divide both sides by 3

x = 42/3

x = 14

total money = $14

Given: MNOK is a trapezoid, MN=OK, m∠M=60°, NK ⊥ MN , MK=16cm Find: The midsegment of MNOK
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

12 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Consider right triangle MNK. In this triangle angle N is right and m∠M=60°, then m∠K=30°. Thus, this triangle is special 30°-60°-90° right triangle with legs MN and NK and hypotenuse MK=16 cm. The leg MN is opposite to the angle with measure of 30°, then this leg is half of the hypotenuse, MN=8 cm.

2. Consider right triangle MNH, where NH is the height of trapezoid drawn from the point N. In this triangle m∠M=60°, angle H is right, then m∠N=30°. Similarly, the leg MH is half of the hypotenuse MN, MH=4 cm.

3. Trapezoid MNOK is isosceles, because MN=OK=8 cm. This means that NO=MK-2MH=16-8=8 cm.

4. The midsegment of the trapezoid is

\dfrac{MK+NO}{2}=\dfrac{16+8}{2}=12\ cm.

write the equation of a line that is parallel to y = - 3/2 x -1 and that passes through the point (4,6)​
maria [59]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:Given Equation of line has slope m=-3/2

So the line passing through (4,6) has the same slope because both are parallel

From slope intercept form we have

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-6=-3/2(x-4)

y-6=-3/2x +3/2(4)

y=-3/2x+12

2y=-3x+24

Which similarity statement expresses the relationship between the two triangles?
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

<em><u>Answer</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>:</u></em><em><u>-</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>opti</u></em><em><u>on</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>3</u></em><em><u>r</u></em><em><u>d</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>!</u></em><em><u>!</u></em><em><u> </u></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

∆FGE ~ ∆ JKL

i.e, Angle FGE = angle JKL = 63°

and angle GEF = angle KLJ = 29°

also, angle GFE = angle KJL = 88°

so, the ∆FGE ~ ∆ JKL by AA property of similarity !!

• not other options because if we take corresponding angle they are not equal

For eg. for ∆ EFG ~ ∆ JKL

the angle EFG must be equal to angle JKL to be similar !!

but they are not equal !!

so, they are not similar !!

and such ,all other options except 3rd is wrong !!
