Answer:

A. ∆ABD ~ ∆CDE

B. x ≈ 5.3

Step-by-step explanation:

A. The Acute Angle Similarity Theorem states that when an acute angle in one right triangle is congruent to a corresponding acute angle in another, both right triangles are said to be similar to each other.

<B ≅ <D (both are right angles)

<A ≅ C,

Therefore, ∆ABD ~ ∆CDE

B. Since ∆ABD ~ ∆CDE, corresponding sides would be proportional to each other. This means that:

DE/BD = CD/AB

Substitute:

6/8 = 4/x

Cross multiply

6*x = 4*8

6x = 32

6x/6 = 32/6

x ≈ 5.3 (nearest tenth)

Answer:

The first listed equation is the correct equation to solve

The correct answer is: t = 5 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let me mention first that there is an error in the statement that the gravitational pull of the Earth is 16 ft/s^2. It is in fact 32 ft/s^2, and the actual equation uses half of the acceleration multiplied by the square of the variable time, so it gives as final expression :

$y(t)=-16\,t^2+ 0 \,t +400$

and we want to find the value/s for "t" that make this equation equal zero (when it reaches the ground and the object just touches the ground. This makes the equation we want to solve:

$0=-16\,t^2+ 0 \,t +400\\16\,t^2+0\,t -400=0$

which solving for "t" becomes:

$16\,t^2-400 =0\\16\,t^2=400\\t^2=\frac{400}{16} \\t^2=25\\t= +/- 5\,\,sec$

So we adopt the positive answer (positive time) since the negative value has no physical meaning for this problem.

That is: t = 5 seconds

7. Find the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line that passes through

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

y=-2x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

If you bring the 4x to the other side by subtracting it, you will have 2y=-4x+8

then divide by the 2 to get y=-2x=4

then you substitute the 5 in for y and the -1 in for x. multiply and then subtract

sipho's dad used 4/11 of the packet of oranges to make juice.The next day he used another 4/11 of the packet of oranges.How many

igomit [66]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

3/11 were left

Step-by-step explanation:

A packet of oranges is 11/11. Subtracting 4/11 +4/11 = 8/11 from that leaves ...

11/11 -8/11 = (11 -8)/11 = 3/11

3 elevenths were left.
