Answer:

56

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

Given Ratio = 2/5

Given mass on earth = 140

Ratio

2/5 = x/140 or

0.4 = x / 140

Solution

2/5 = x/140                    Cross multiply

5x = 2*140                     Combine

5x = 280                       Divide by 5

x = 280/5

x = 56

You could also do this by combining the left side of the original proportion into 0.4

0.4 = x / 140               Multiply both sides by 140

0.4*140 = x                 Combine the left

56 = x

Triangle LMN similar to triangle OPQ find the measure of side PQ round your answer to the nearest 10th if necessary
sergejj [24]

*see attachement for the triangles given

Answer:

PQ = 6.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Corresponding sides of similar shapes or figures are proportional to each other. Since ∆LMN ~ ∆OPQ, the ratio of their corresponding sides would therefore be equal. Thus:

LN/OQ = MN/PQ

LN = 5

OQ = 17

MN = 2

PQ = ?

Plug in the values

5/17 = 2/PQ

Cross multiply

5*PQ = 2*17

5*PQ = 34

PQ = 34/5

PQ = 6.8

Under certain conditions the pressure of a gas varies directly with the temperature. When the pressure is 900 psi, the temperatu
Crank

Answer:

180psi

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

P1= 900 psi

T1= 350°C

P2=?

T2=70°C

Required

The final pressure P2

<em>Gay-Lussac's Law: The Pressure Temperature Law. This law states that the pressure of a given amount of gas held at constant volume is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature. With an increase in temperature, the pressure will go up</em>

Applying the expression

P1/T1= P2/T2

substitute:

900/350= P2/70

2.57=P2/70

cross multiply

P2= 2.57*70

P2=180psi

Slope 8 ​; through ​(4​,3​)
Reptile [31]

Answer:

y=8x-29

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know the slope (m) is 8, we can plug it in the slope-intercept formula y=mx+b, making y=8x+b.

Now we need to find the y-intercept (b). To do that, you would need to plug in the points given to you, which were (4,3).

x=4, y=3... so 3=8(4)+b

Now you can solve for the variable b to find the y-intercept.

3=8(4)+b, multiply...

3=32+b, subtract 32 on both sides...

-29=b

Therefore, the y-intercept, or b, is -29.

The equation would be y=8x-29

The four points (−2, 5), (−2, −1), (6, −1), and (3, 5) are the vertices of a polygon. What is the area, in square units, of this
crimeas [40]
Look at the picture.

The polygon is a right-angled trapezoid.

The area is:
A=\frac{a+b}{2} \times h

The points (-2,-1) and (6,-1) lie on the same horizontal line, so the distance between them is 6-(-2)=6+2=8. The length of a is 8 units.
The points (-2,5) and (3,5) lie on the same horizontal line, so the distance between them is 3-(-2)=3+2=5. The length of b is 5 units.
The points (-2,5) and (-2,-1) lie on the same vertical line, so the distance between them is 5-(-1)=5+1=6. The length of h is 6 units.

A=\frac{8+5}{2} \times 6=\frac{13}{2} \times 6=13 \times 3=39

The area is 39 square units.
