Answer:

Marcia is 47 inches tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve this step by step and try to visualize the situation.

• Carl: 73 inches tall

The second part of the question states that Carl's heigh is twenty-one inches less than two times Marcia's height. Add 73 + 21 to equal 94. Since Carl is 21 inches less that means that Maria is 21 inches more ( so that's why I added instead of subtracting) because we are trying to find Maria's equation.

Let x be Marcia's height

2x = 94

• The question staes that 73 is 21 inches less than two times Marcia's height which means that the equation 2x = 94 applies because 73 + 21 = 94

After simplifying the equation, we can get the answer that Marcia is 47 inches tall.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

Carl  = 73

Marcia = 2x - 21 = 73

Solution

2x - 21 = 73                           Add 21 to both sides.

2x = 73 + 21                          Combine

2x = 94                                 Divide by 2

2x/2 = 94/2

x = 47

Find the center, vertices, and foci of the ellipse with equation x squared divided by 400 plus y squared divided by 625 = 1
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

x^2/400 + x^2/625

(x-0)^2/400) +(y-0^2/625)

x^2=400

X=sqrt. 400

x = 20

y^2=625

y = sqrt. 625

y= 25

a^2-c^2=b^2

sqrt 400-625 = c

20-25=c

The correct answer is c=-5

(-5,0)

(5,0)

Which of the following best describes a cylinder?
alexandr1967 [171]
Hey there!

The shape being described in letter A is a prism. A prism has two polygonal shapes on either end that can be any shape consisting of three or more sides. This won't be your answer, since cylinders have circular bases on either side. 

The shape being described in letter B is a cylinder. Not sure why they needed to throw in the plane part, but this is the only answer that describes the bases as being circular (or, as they put it, discs). 

The shape being described in letter C is a pyramid. If a shape has a polygonal base and meets at a point at the other end, it will be a pyramid. Obviously, a pyramid only has one end, meaning that this isn't your answer. 

The shape being described in letter D is a cone. Again, if a shape has a base and meets at a point, it will be a pyramid. However, in the case of a cone, the base will be circular and the other side will meet at a point. The entire shape will be rounded where a pyramid would have edges. Again, not your answer. 

Your answer will be B. Hope this helped you out! :-)

2. What is the length of the third side of the right triangle, when both sides are 20?
Helen [10]
Well the only right triangle with two similar sides is a special triangle called a 45 45 90. After the degrees of its shape
                                                      _
two sides are x and the other is x/2              _
so in this case the other angle would be 20/2 [20 root (2), its hard to draw roots on this site so I thought I would clarify that was what I was drawing]

Hope this helps, good luck.
