9514 1404 393

Answer:

  14 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of lengths is ...

  shortest : longest = (2/3) : 1 = 2 : 3

Then the ratio of the shortest to the total is ...

  shortest : (shortest +longest) = 2 : (2 +3) = 2/5

The shortest piece length is ...

  (2/5)×(35 ft) = 14 ft

The shorter piece of the board is 14 ft long.

Let x represent the worth of the professional basketball player's autograph a year ago. Since his autograph's worth increased by 40% now, $364 is 1.40x. 
 
                                      364 = 1.40x

Solving for x gives x = 260.

Thus, the autograph of the basketball player was worth only $260 last year.

Name the line and plane shown in the diagram. A.AB and plane ABD B.BA and plane DC C.AC and plane ABD D.AB and plane DA
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer: The line is AB and the plane is ABD, the first option is the correct one.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, first some definitions.

A line is any line that crosses two colinear points. Particularly, you can see in the graph that the line crosses through A and B, so the line is AB.

A plane needs 3 non-colinear points (if the points where colinear, then the points may define a line). Other definition of plane is "a line and a point that is not in the line"

So, if our line is AB, then the possible planes are:

ABC and ABD.

then the correct option is:

Line AB and plane ABD, so the correct option is the first one.
