Answer:

Number of rats : Food weight = 1 : 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of rats in the group = 9

Weight of food carried away by them = 45 kg

Ratio of the number of rats and food weight = $\frac{\text{Number of rats}}{\text{Weight of food carried by the rats}}$

= $\frac{9}{45}$

= $\frac{1\times 9}{5\times 9}$

= $\frac{1}{5}$

Therefore, Number of rats : Food weight = 1 : 5

Find the area of triangle ABC with vertices A(2,1), B (12,2), C (12,8). Hence, or otherwise find the perpendicular distance from

Lapatulllka [165]

<h2>The area of a triangle is =54 square units</h2><h2>The perpendicular distance from B to AC is = $\frac{108}{\sqrt{149} } units$ </h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a triangle ABC with vertices A(2,1),B(12,2) and C(12,8)

$x_1=2,y_1=1,x_2=12,y_2=2,x_3=12 and y_3=8$

The area of a triangle is= $\frac{1}{2} [x_1(y_2-y_3) +x_2 (y_3- y_1)+x_3(y_1-y_2)]$

= $|\frac{1}{2} [2(2-8+12(8-1)+12(1-2)]|$

= $|-54|$ = 54 square units

The length of AC = $\sqrt{(x_1-x_3)^{2} +(y_1-y_3)^2}$

= $\sqrt{(2-12)^{2} +(1-8)^2}$

= $\sqrt{149}$ units

Let the perpendicular distance from B to AC be = x

According To Problem

$\frac{1}{2} \times x \times \sqrt{149} = 54$

⇔ $x =\frac{108}{\sqrt{149} }$ units

Therefore the perpendicular distance from B to AC is = $\frac{108}{\sqrt{149} } units$

Explain why the equation x+2=x+3 has no solution

Orlov [11]

It has no solution because x is always the same amount. So.. for example.
lets say x = 10.

then it would be 10 + 2 = 10 + 3.
12 doesnt = 13. :)

Rachel's chocolate bar is 43% cocoa. If the weight of the chocolate bar is 68 grams, how many grams of cocoa does it contain? Ro

Yanka [14]

Answer:

29.24 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Rachel's chocolate bar is 43% cocoa

The weight of the chocolate bar is 68 grams

We need to find how many grams of cocoa does it contain. It means it will contain 43% of 68 grams. It can be solved as follows :

$C=\dfrac{43}{100}\times 68\\\\C=29.24\ \text{grams}$

Hence, it will have 29.24 grams of cocoa.

Is the binomial a factor of the polynomial function f(x)=x^3+2x^2-16x-32

GREYUIT [131]

Step-by-step explanation:

f ( 4 ) = 64 + 32 - 64 - 32 = 0

Thus x - 4 is a factor

Find other factors by synthetic division.

"""""""|1"""""2""""- 16"""""-32

"""""4|"""""""4""""""24""""""32

"""""""|1"""""6"" """""8""""""0

( x - 4 ) ( x ² + 6x + 8 ) = 0

( x - 4 ) ( x + 4 ) ( x + 2 ) = 0

x = - 2 , x = - 4, x = 4
