It is 6 because 6 x 1.13 = 6.78 and
11.19 - 4.41 = 6.78

Dovator [93]

Answer:

  • AB = 7 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Use the law of cosines to find the side AB:</u>

  • AB = \sqrt{(x + 3)^2+x^2-2x(x+3)cos (60)} =
  • \sqrt{x^2+6x+9+x^2-x^2-3x}  = \sqrt{x^2+3x+9}

<u>Use the Heron's area formula next:</u>

  • A = \sqrt{s(s - a)(s-b)(s-c)}, where s- semi perimeter
  • s = 1/2[x + x + 3 + \sqrt{x^2+3x+9}) = 1/2 (2x + 3 + \sqrt{x^2+3x+9})
  • s - a = 1/2 (2x + 3 + \sqrt{x^2+3x+9} - 2x - 6) = 1/2 (\sqrt{x^2+3x+9 } - 3)
  • s - b = 1/2 (2x + 3 + \sqrt{x^2+3x+9} - 2x) = 1/2 (\sqrt{x^2+3x+9} + 3)
  • s - c = 1/2 (2x + 3 + \sqrt{x^2+3x+9} - 2\sqrt{x^2+3x+9}) = 1/2 (2x + 3 - \sqrt{x^2+3x+9})

<u>Now</u>

  • (s - a)(s - b) = 1/4 [(x²+3x+9) - 9] = 1/4 (x² + 3x)
  • s(s - c) = 1/4 [(2x + 3)² - (x² + 3x + 9)] = 1/4 (3x²+ 9x) = 3/4(x² + 3x)

<u>Next</u>

  • A² = 3/16(x² + 3x)(x² + 3x)
  • 300 = 3/16(x² + 3x)²
  • 1600 = (x² + 3x)²
  • x² + 3x = 40

<u>Substitute this into the first equation:</u>

  • AB = \sqrt{40 + 9} = 7 cm

Diana works at a clothing store. She sold 1/3 of the total shirts on Tuesday and 5/12of the total number of blue shirts on Wedne
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

The fraction of blue shirts that she sold is \frac{3}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

She sold:

1/3 on Tuesday.

5/12 on Wednesday.

What fraction of blue shirts did she sell on Tuesday and Wednesday?

Sum of fractions.

The lesser common multiplier between 3 and 12, which is 12.

So

\frac{1}{3} + \frac{5}{12} = \frac{\frac{12*1}{3} + \frac{12*5}{12}}{12} = \frac{4 + 5}{12} = \frac{9}{12} = \frac{3}{4}

The fraction of blue shirts that she sold is \frac{3}{4}

The tip for excellent service in a restaurant is $20 for every $100 of a meal. What is the total bill for a $60 meal?
a_sh-v [17]
$72. The tip is $0.2 per $1, so you would pay $12 in tips plus the original $60

Solve for x and y. Then find the measure of each angle.
aliina [53]

Answer:

x= 42

y= 23

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a system of equations like this:

(4y-9)=(3x-43)

(2x+13)=(4y+5)

when two lines cross like this they form vertical angles, and vertical angles are always equal.

calculate the system of equations and you'll get x=42 and y=23

To find the measure of any of the angles just put x or y into the equation.

Suppose researchers test 100 college students, whose ages range from 18 to 23. They also test 100 people at a nearby community c
prisoha [69]

Answer:

b. You would conclude that the differences in the average scores can be traced to differences in the working memory of the two groups.

Step-by-step explanation:

Though the average scores of the two sets could have lead to various conditions, but retentive ability deminishes with respect to an increase in age. With respect to the age of the elderly people involved, it is expected that some of them would not be able to retain information for a long period of time. Thus, their average score is 72%.

The college students' are younger, so it is expected that they should be able to retain more information. That ability is one of the reasons why their average score is 85%.

It can be concluded from the research that the differences in the average scores is probably due to the working memory of the two groups.
