Answer:

$6.96

Step-by-step explanation:

5.25% of $5.79

5.79 × 5.25/100 = $0.303975 or $0.30

15% of $5.79

5.79 × 15/100 = $0.8685 or $0.87

total

$0.29 + $0.87 + $5.79 = $6.96

Explain how you could use the construction tool or a compass and straightedge to create a line segment that is twice as long.

ycow [4]

Answer: Use a compass to measure the length of AB. Draw an arc from point B (or point A) with that distance. Extend line AB through that arc and label the intersection as point C. AC is twice the length of AB.

In a recent survey 7 out of 10 people prefer coffee in the morning the rest said they prefer tea if 27 people said they prefer t

prohojiy [21]

<span>To find the answer to this equation, use the result of "27 people" who prefer tea. This is equivalent to 3 out of 10 people in the whole survey sample. Using equivalent fractions to find the total sample, we see that "3/10 = 27/x." Multiplying 3 by 9 gives 27, so multiplying 10 by 9 gives a total sample size of 90 people.</span>

A tissue sample is three cells thick. Each cell has a thickness of 0.000004m. What is the thickness of the tissue sample in mm.

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

4000 nm

Step-by-step explanation:

Conversion from meters to nanometers: 1 meter is 1(10⁹) nm

Step 1: Convert 0.000004 to scientific notation

0.000004 = 4(10⁻⁶)

Step 2: Convert by multiplication

4(10⁻⁶) x 1(10⁹) = 4000 nm

2. Given a quadrilateral with vertices (−1, 3), (1, 5), (5, 1), and (3,−1):

zlopas [31]

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

In every rectangle, the two diagonals have the same length. If a quadrilateral's diagonals have the same length, that doesn't mean it has to be a rectangle, but if a parallelogram's diagonals have the same length, then it's definitely a rectangle.

So first of all, let's prove this is a parallelogram. The basic definition of a parallelogram is that it is a quadrilateral where both pairs of opposite sides are parallel.

So let's name the vertices as:

$A(-1,3) \\ \\ B(1,5) \\ \\ C(5,1) \\ \\ D(3,-1)$

First pair of opposite sides:

<u>Slope:</u>

$\text{For AB}: \\ \\ m=\frac{5-3}{1-(-1)}=1 \\ \\ \\ \text{For CD}: \\ \\ m=\frac{1-(-1)}{5-3}=1 \\ \\ \\ \text{So AB and CD are parallel}$

Second pair of opposite sides:

<u>Slope:</u>

$\text{For BC}: \\ \\ m=\frac{1-5}{5-1}=-1 \\ \\ \\ \text{For AD}: \\ \\ m=\frac{-1-3}{3-(-1)}=-1 \\ \\ \\ \text{So BC and AD are parallel}$

So in fact this is a parallelogram. The other thing we need to prove is that the diagonals measure the same. Using distance formula:

$d=\sqrt{(y_{2}-y_{1})^2+(x_{2}-x_{1})^2} \\ \\ \\ Diagonal \ BD: \\ \\ d=\sqrt{(5-(-1))^2+(1-3)^2}=2\sqrt{10} \\ \\ \\ Diagonal \ AC: \\ \\ d=\sqrt{(3-1)^2+(-5-1)^2}=2\sqrt{10} \\ \\ \\$

So the diagonals measure the same, therefore this is a rectangle.
