Answer: No. Pennant Sports Shop did not sell the same ratio of defense sticks to total lacrosse sticks on both days.

Step-by-step explanation:

On Friday, there were 25 lacrosse sticks sold, 10 of which were defense sticks. The ratio of defense sticks to lacrosse will be:

= 10/25 = 2/5 = 2:5

On Saturday, there were 50 lacrosse sticks sold, 15 of which were defense stick. The ratio of defense sticks to lacrosse will be:

= 15/50 = 3/10 = 3:10

Based on the calculation above, Pennant Sports Shop did not sell the same ratio of defense sticks to total lacrosse sticks on both days

Lines a and b are perpendicular. Which statements below must be true? Select all that apply. The slopes of lines a and b are rec
Semenov [28]

Answer:

When the slopes of lines a and b are multiplied, the product is −1.

Line a and line b intersect to form four right angles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Perpendicular lines a and b

Required

Select the true statements

Represent the slope of line a with m_1 and the slope of b with m_2.

The condition for perpendicularity is:

m_1 * m_2 = -1

Solving further:

m_1 = -\frac{1}{m_2}

To solve further, we need to analyze each of the given options

(a) This is not true because the slope of perpendicular lines are not reciprocal

(b) This is also not true because perpendicular lines do not necessarily have to intersect at their midpoints

(c) This is true because of the condition stated above: m_1 * m_2 = -1

(d) This is also true because perpendicular lines form right angles when they intersect

(e) This is not true because of the condition stated above: m_1 = -\frac{1}{m_2}

(f) This is not true because of the condition stated above: m_1 = -\frac{1}{m_2}

HELP ASAP!!!!
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

% error = 3.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percent Error Formula:

% error = ( (MeasuredValue - AcceptedValue) / AcceptedValue ) * 100

% error = ( (12.7 - 12.3) / 12.3 ) * 100

% error =  (0.4/12.3) * 100

% error = (0.03252033) * 100

% error = 3.25203252

% error = 3.3%

Answer:

-1/5>-10/4

In the negatives, If you take away the negative the lower number is more.

Think about a number line, if you are at -1/5, it means that you are 1/5 away from 0. If you are at -10/4, It means that you are 10,4 away from 0.

In conclusion, -1/5>-10/4

Triangles Unit Test part 1 A length of rope is stretched between the top edge of a building and a stake in the ground. The head
musickatia [10]

Answer:

The building is 32 feet tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the figure drawn below representing the given scenario.

AB represents the height of building, BC is the distance between the stake and building, C represents the stake at ground level, and DE represents the height of the tree growing halfway between building and stake.

Since the tree is growing halfway between B and C, therefore, the point E divides the line segment BC into 2 equal parts.

Therefore, BE = EC or E is the midpoint of BC.

Also, from the figure, it is clear that both tree and building are vertical to the ground. So, DE || AB.

Now, from converse of mid-segment theorem, if a line passes through the midpoint of one side of a triangle and also parallel to the third side, then the line also passes through the midpoint of the second side and half the length of the third side (parallel side)

So,

DE=\frac{1}{2}\times AB\\\\16=\frac{AB}{2}\\\\AB=16\times 2=32\ ft

Therefore, the building is 32 feet tall.
