Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The smallest number that is divisible by two given numbers is called the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of those numbers.

What's the smallest number that is a multiple of 8 and also a multiple of 18?

One way to find out is to start making lists of multiples:

Multiples of 8: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80, 88, 96, and so on,

Multiples of 18: 18, 36, 54, 72, 90, 108, and so on.

This method can be a bit tedious, but in this case, it's clear that 72 is the LCM of 8 and 18.

Another method is to use the prime factorization of the two numbers.

Write 8 and 18 as the product of prime numbers; each number has a unique prime factorization.

8 = 2 x 2 x 2 = 2^3

18 = 2 x 3 x 3 = 2^1 x 3^2

To form the LCM, build a product of primes using the highest exponent in either of the two numbers.

LCM = 2^3 x 3^2 = 8 x 9 = 72.

Answer:

A, C, D

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider triangles NKL and NML. These triangles are right triangles, because

$m\angle K=m\angle M=90^{\circ}$

In these right triangles:

$\overline{NL}\cong \overline {NL}$ - reflexive property;
$\angle KLN\cong \angle MLN$ - given

Thus, triangles NKL and NML by HA postulate. Congruent triangles have congruent corresponding parts, so

$\overline{KN}\cong \overline{NM}\\ \\\overline{KL}\cong \overline{LM}\ [\text{option D is true}]$

Since

$\overline{KN}\cong \overline{NM},$

then

$7x-4=5x+12\\ \\7x-5x=12+4\\ \\2x=16\\ \\x=8\ [\text{option A is true}]\\ \\MN=KN=7\cdot 8-4=56-4=52\ [\text{option C is true}]$

Option B is false, because KN=52 units.

Option E is false, because LN is congruent KN, not LM

Find the volume and surface area of this prism.

mina [271]

Answer:

V = 408 cm cubed

SA = 558 cm squared

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the volume of a prism, multiply the area of the base by the height. This is 1/2 times width times height times length.

V =1/2 l*w*h =1/2* 6*8*17 = 408

To find the surface area of a prism, find the area of the triangular base and the area of each rectangular side.

Area of the base is A = 1/2 * b*h = 1/2 * 6 * 8 = 24. Since there are 2 bases, the area is 48.

Area of the rectangular side is A = b*h = 17*10 = 170. Since there are three, the area is 3*170 = 510.

The surface area of the prism is 48 + 510 = 558.

A researcher was testing the number of popcorn kernels that popped out of a mini bag of 100 kernels after being cooked for the s

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

The percentage of the bag that should have popped 96 kernels or more is 2.1%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable X can be defined as the number of popcorn kernels that popped out of a mini bag.

The mean is, μ = 72 and the standard deviation is, σ = 12.

Assume that the population of the number of popcorn kernels that popped out of a mini bag follows a Normal distribution.

Compute the probability that a bag popped 96 kernels or more as follows:

Apply continuity correction:

$P( X\geq 96)=P( X>96+0.50)$

$=P( X>96.50)\\=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{96.50-72}{12})\\=P(Z>2.04)\\=1-P(Z$

*Use a z-table.

The probability that a bag popped 96 kernels or more is 0.021.

The percentage is, 0.021 × 100 = 2.1%.

Thus, the percentage of the bag that should have popped 96 kernels or more is 2.1%.

How do you simplify 2i<6u?

tiny-mole [99]

Try dividing both sides by 2.

Hope i helped :)

(It's kinda cool, because by dividing both sides by 2 we get !<3u :)
