Part 1) Finding x
Note the double tickmarks for segments XY and YZ. This indicates the segments are the same length, which leads to point Y being the midpoint of segment XZ.
Therefore, XZ is twice as long as XY
XZ = 2*( XY )
XZ = 2*( 2x-1 )
XZ = 4x - 2
We also know that XZ = 2(3x-4) = 6x-8. Let's equate 4x-2 and 6x-8 and solve for x
6x-8 = 4x-2
6x-4x = -2+8
2x = 6
x = 6/3
x = 3
<h3>Answer is 3</h3>
=====================================
Part 2) Finding the length of YZ
The resut of part 1 (x = 3) is plugged into the equation for XY to get
XY = 2*x-1
XY = 2*3-1
XY = 6-1
XY = 5
Segment XY is 5 units long. So is segment YZ as these two segments are the same length (aka congruent).
<h3>Answer: 5</h3>
=====================================
Part 3) Finding the length of segment XZ
The answer from the previous part was 5. This doules to 5*2 = 10
-----
A longer way to get the same answer is to plug x = 3 into the XZ equation and we get...
XZ = 2*(3x-4)
XZ = 2*(3*3-4)
XZ = 2*(9-4)
XZ = 2*5
XZ = 10
and we get the same answer
<h3>Answer: 10</h3>
Answer:
The generator will run for 6 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, find the volume of the gas tank that is on the generator. I am told that the gas tank is a rectangular prism that has the dimensions of 20 cm, 15 cm, and 10cm.
Area of any prism = height * width * length
Area of prism = 20 cm * 15 cm * 10 cm = 3,000 cm cubed
I am told the important info that <u>1,000 cm cubed = 1 liter </u>
Therefore, 3,000 cm cubed = 3 liters
I am also told that the generator will run for 2 hours on 1 liter of gas
Lets make a ratio table:
Hours the generator will run for : liters of gas
2 : 1
6 : 3
the generator will run for 6 hours.
-10 and -2
Because -10-2= -12 and -10 x -2 = 20
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
chicken nuggies
Step-by-step explanation:
The area doesn't tell you the dimensions. There are an infinite number of different answers, all with the same area but different dimensions.
Here are a few:
1 ft by 864 ft
2 ft by 432 ft
3 ft by 288 ft
4 ft by 216 ft
8 ft by 108 ft
16 ft by 54 ft
24 ft by 36 ft
27 ft by 32 ft.
The area of each of these is 864 square feet.
