A leaky pool loses 2 and one-fourth inches of water each day. Jermaine and Mildred are asked to determine the change in the amou

nt of water in the pool over 5 days.
Jermaine’s Solution
Mildred’s Solution
5 (Negative 2 and one-fourth) = 5 (negative 2 minus one-fourth) = negative 10 minus one-fourth = negative 10 and one-fourth
5 (Negative 2 and one-fourth) = 5 (negative 2 minus one-fourth) = negative 10 minus StartFraction 5 over 4 EndFraction = negative 11 and one-fourth

Which describes the reasoning used to determine whose solution is correct?

Answer:

Given: In triangle ABC and triangle DBE where DE is parallel to AC.

In ΔABC and ΔDBE

DE || AC   [Given]

As we know, a line that cuts across two or more parallel lines.  In the given figure, the line AB is a transversal.

Line segment  AB is transversal that intersects two parallel lines.  [Conclusion from statement 1.]

Corresponding angles theorem: two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the  corresponding angles are congruent.

then;

\angle BDE \cong \angle BAC  and

\angle BEC \cong \angle BCA

Reflexive property of equality states that if angles in geometric figures can be congruent to themselves.

by Reflexive property of equality:

\angle B \cong \angle B  

By AAA (Angle Angle Angle) similarity postulates states that all three pairs of corresponding angles are the same then, the triangles are similar

therefore, by AAA similarity postulates theorem

\triangle ABC \sim \triangle DBE

Similar triangles are triangles with equal corresponding angles and proportionate side.

then, we have;

\frac{BD}{BA}                  [By definition of similar triangles]

therefore, the missing statement and the reasons are

Statement                                                                   Reason

3.\angle BDE \cong \angle BAC      Corresponding angles theorem

and  \angle BEC \cong \angle BCA        

5. \triangle ABC \sim \triangle DBE   AAA similarity postulates    

6. BD over BA                                                    Definition of similar triangle

A triangle with a base of 2 and a height of 3.

Double the base and it becomes 4, and double the height and it becomes 6.

Area of the new figure = 1/2 * base * height = 1/2 * 4 * 6 = 2 * 6 = 12

The area of a towelette with double the base and double the height is 12 inches^2.

On your second day of measuring living trees you find a tree with a diameter of 24 inches! Should you predict the volume of this
Bingel [31]

Answer:

Yes! Extrapolation is fine. Don't worry about it.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the data we have ranges from 8 to 22 inches, an extrapolation should be made, which is the process of estimating beyond the original observation interval, the value of the variable based on its relationship to another variable. It is similar to interpolation, which produces estimates between known observations, unlike this, extrapolation is subject to greater uncertainty and a higher risk of producing insignificant results, but because the value is 24 inches, it is not too far away. of the upper limit which is 22, the error should not be very big, therefore the answer is: Yes! Extrapolation is fine. Don't worry about it.
