Find x, GH, and HI .

Mathematics
1 answer:
ruslelena [56]2 years ago
6 0
Given that GI = 53, and
• GH = 3x - 11
• HI = 2x + 4

We can establish the following equality statement to solve for x:

GH + HI = GI
3x - 11 + 2x + 4 = 53

Combine like terms:
5x - 7 = 53

Add 7 to both sides:
5x - 7 + 7 = 53 + 7
5x = 60

Divide both sides by 5 to solve for x:
5x/5 = 60/5

x = 12

Substitute the value of x into the equality statement to verify if it is the correct value for x:

GH + HI = GI
3x - 11 + 2x + 4 = 53

3(12) - 11 + 2(12) + 4 = 53
36 - 11 + 24 + 4 = 53
53 = 53 (True statement. Thus, x = 12 is the correct value).

Therefore:
GH = 3x - 11
GH = 3(12) - 11
GH = 25

HI = 2x + 4
HI = 2(12) + 4
HI = 28

A circle has a circumference of 450cm
anzhelika [568]

The circumference of the circle is actually the perimeter ( length of the boundary ) of the circle . And a part of the circle which lies between two distinct points on the circumference of the circle is called an arc . If the length of the arc is less than half the circumference , it is called minor arc and remaining portion which is more than half of the circle ( but natural ) is called major arc .

When these two points , which make the arc are joined separately to the centre of circle , these arms make angle at the centre . This is called the angle subtended by the arc at the centre of the circle .

There is a beautiful logical relation exists between arc length and the angle , the arc makes ( subtends ) at the centre of the circle . This relation is as under , the wholle circle subtends an angle of 360 degree at the centre . Half the circumference subtendr 360 / 2 ie 180 degree at the centre . The logical relation becomes Arc Length = Circumference × angle in degrees it ( the arc ) subtends at the centre of the circle / 360 degree . So the answer is very simple :- The Arc Length = 36 × 90 / 360 or 9 units ( may be centimetres or metres or inches , feet , yards , etc ) . Which is definitely length of the minor arc . The length of the major arc ( remaining portion of the circumstance ) is 36 - 9 = 27 units . Hence the required answer of the sum is 9 units .

Which weight more 2 pounds of bricks or 2 pounds of feathers?
Salsk061 [2.6K]
Two pounds is two pounds. It is a trick question making you focus more on the material, rather than the main point at hand. TWO pounds is TWO pounds, regardless of material.

How many labeled points are between points b and u ?
Olenka [21]

Answer:

It is difficult to give a specific answer without your scenario but maybe this may help you out a bit.

Let's say you have a line like the one attached:

I labelled certain points b and u so you can use it as a reference. Now all you need to do is count all the points that lie on the same line and are found between.

In this case it would be point d and point e because the rest of the points do not line on the same line. For this problem particular scenario, the answer would be 2.

Can someone help me solve this
ikadub [295]

Answer:

  1. 168.25 ft
  2. 3.125 s

Step-by-step explanation:

It is almost too easy to let a graphing calculator show you the solution. (See attached)

_____

You may be expected to use some actual algebra (or even calculus) to find the solution.

If you've spent any time with quadratics, you know the vertex of ax²+bx+c is located at x=-b/(2a). Here, that means the time to get to the highest point is ...

... t = -100/(2·(-16)) = 100/32 = 3.125 . . . . seconds

Then the highest point is ...

... h(3.125) = -16·3.125² +100·3.125 +12 = 168.25 . . . . feet

_____

Or, you can put the equation into vertex form.

... h(t) = -16t² +100t +12

... = -16(t² +6.25t) +12

... = -16(t² +6.25t +3.125²) +12 +16·3.125² . . . . . add the square of half the t coefficient inside parentheses; add the opposite of the same amount outside parentheses

... = -16(t +3.125)² +168.25 . . . . . simplify

This tells us the peak of the travel of the bullet is at 168.25 ft after 3.125 seconds.
