Answer:

SU=25

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up a ratio as STU and SQR are similar because of the SAS similarity theorem.

TQ:SQ

SQ=ST+TQ=10+6=16

6:16=3:8

Therefore the ratio of STU:SQR is 3:8

We can use this to find SU

UR:SR=3:8

15:SR=3:8

Cross multiply

3SR=120

SR=40

SU=SR-UR

SU=40-15

SU=25

A plane is on its approach to land on the runway. The jet’s height above the ground is given in feet as a function of the time i
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a linear function because for every 5 seconds that pass, the height of the plane drops 500 feet, or -500 to be exact. So that's the slope of the line. If we look at the table we can determine where the graph goes through the h axis. The h axis is the y axis, and the t axis is the x axis. So where the graph goes through the h axis is also the y-intercept. If your teacher is any good at all, he/she would make sure that you understand beyond a shadow of a doubt that the y-intercept exists where x = 0. Looking at the table, where x (t) is 0, y (h) is 4000 feet.

Writing the linear equation then is super easy. In the form y = mx + b, we already know both the slope (-100) and the y-intercept (4000), so we fill in accordingly:

h = -100t + 4000 which appears to be choice a.

there is a 20% discount with a set of tires in normally sells for $368. How much will be tires cost after the discount?
ICE Princess25 [194]
Same as before, if we take 368 to be the 100%, how much is 20% off that?

\bf \begin{array}{ccll}
amount&\%\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
368&100\\
d&20
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{368}{d}=\cfrac{100}{20}\implies \cfrac{368\cdot 20}{100}=d

so, the discount is that much, thus, the discounted price is then 368 - d.
