Answer:
Carlos is 35 years old now
Step-by-step explanation:
Assume that Carlos is x years old now
∵ Carlos is x years old now
∵ Carlos is 33 years younger than Kristen
- Kirsten's age is the sum of x and 33
∴ Kirsten is x + 33 years old now
2 years ago
∵ Carlos's age = x - 2
∵ Kristen's age = x + 33 - 2 = x + 31
∵ Kristen's age was 2 times Carlos's age
- Equate Kristen's age by 2 times Carlos's age
∴ x + 31 = 2(x - 2)
- Simplify the right hand side
∴ x + 31 = 2x - 4
- Subtract x from both sides
∴ 31 = x - 4
- Add 4 to both sides
∴ 35 = x
∵ x represents Carlos's age now
∴ Carlos is 35 years old now
Answer: C. Definition of an Altitude
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: In triangle MNO shown below, segment NP is an altitude from the right angle.
Let ∠MNP=x
Then ∠PNO=90°-x
Therefore in triangle MNO,
∠MPN=∠NPO =90° [by definition of Altitude]
[Definition of altitude : A line which passes through a vertex of a triangle, and joins the opposite side forming right angles. ]
Now using angle sum property in ΔMNP
∠MNP+∠MPN+∠PMN=180°
⇒x+90°+∠PMN=180°
⇒∠PMN=180°-90°-x
⇒∠PMN=90°-x
Now, in ΔMNO and ΔPNO
∠PMN=∠PNO=90°-x
and ∠MPN=∠NPO =90° [by definition of altitude]
Therefore by AA similarity postulate, we have
ΔMNO ≈ ΔPNO
Answer:
-1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
(10 - 8)/(-21 + 9)= 12/-12= -1
y - 8 = -1(x + 9)
y - 8 = -x - 9
y = -x - 1
Answer:
The correct option is;
(3) The sample of track athletes show that there is a correlation between foot size and running speed
Step-by-step explanation:
The statements are analysed as follows;
(1) Smaller foot sizes cause track athletes to run slower.
The above statement is a conclusion and it infers more information than is contained in the question statement because there are other factors such as taller athletes run faster than average sized athletes
(2) The sample of track athletes shows a causal relationship between
foot size and running speed.
The above statement is similar to the one above as it is a milder conclusion and it infers more information than is contained in the question statement
(3) The sample of track athletes shows a correlation between foot size
and running speed.
The above statement is correct as is directly supported by the data as it is a statement made based directly the data
(4) There is no correlation between foot size and running speed in
track athletes.
The above statement is not supported by the available data.
