Answer:

The scale model giraffe is 5 inches tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the artist sculpted the figure of the giraffe with a scale of 1 inch = 4 feet, and that the real giraffe that lives in the zoo is about 20 feet, to determine the size of the sculpted giraffe to scale it is necessary to perform the following calculation:

20/4 = X

5 = X

Thus, the scale sculpted giraffe that will be sold in the gift shop measures 5 inches.

Find the value of x for mAB=34 and mCD=25 (The figure is not drawn to scale.)
Alexus [3.1K]
<h3>Answer:   29.5 degrees</h3>

==============================================

Explanation:

Add up the arc measures and divide by 2 to get the angle formed by the two chords.

angle AOB = (arc AB + arc CD)/2

angle AOB = (34 + 25)/2

angle AOB = 59/2

angle AOB = 29.5 degrees

What is the solution to the system of equations?
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

(x, y) = (-3, -6)

Step-by-step explanation:

The second equation can be used to write an expression for y:

... -5x -21 = y . . . . . . . add y-21 to both sides

This expression can be substituted for y in the first equation:

... 6 = -4x +(-5x -21)

... 27 = -9x . . . . . add 21, collect terms

... -3 = x . . . . . . . divide by -9

Using this value of x in the expression for y, we find ...

... -5(-3) -21 = y = -6

The solution is x = -3, y = -6.

Write an inequality to represent the possible<br> combinations of x cupcakes and y cakes sold.
kolezko [41]

Answer:

The inequality for this would be n ≥ 20.

We know this because it must be larger than 40. We also know it can possibly be equal because the statement says "at least".

LM is a perpendicular bisector of NP The length of LN is 12w +7, and the length of LP is 15w 5. What is the length of LN?
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

LN = 55

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

LN = 12w + 7

LP = 15w - 5

Required

Determine LN

Since LM is a bisector, then we have:

LP = LN (See attachment for illustration)

15w - 5 = 12w + 7

Collect Like Terms

15w - 12w = 5 +7

3w = 12

Solve for w

w = 12/3

w = 4

LN is calculated as thus:

LN = 12w + 7

Substitute 4 for w

LN = 12 * 4 + 7

LN = 48 + 7

LN = 55
