Mathematics

Answer:

True☆The diagonals are congruent.

Not always X All sides are congruent. (Only for rectangles that are also rhombus = a square!)

Not always X The diagonals of a rectangle are perpendicular to each other. (Counterexample: draw a really long rectangle with a tiny, tiny width...the x made by the diagonals is clearly not perpendicular!)

True☆ The opposite sides are parallel. (Bc rectangles are parallelograms, part of the definition)

True☆All angles are congruent. (All four angles are right angles--part of the definition)

Find each product (5a^5)(6a^6)=?

Margaret [11]

Multiplying exponents will just have to follow a rule.
Make sure that the base are the same otherwise, you keep it as is.
If they have the same bases, then just add the exponents.

= (5a^5)(6a^6)
= 30a^11

So the final answer is 30a^11.

A fruit stand sells apples, peaches and tomatoes. Today, they sold 4 apples for every 5 peaches. They sold 2 peaches for every 3

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

He sold 32 apples, 40 peaches and 60 apples.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

4 apples are sold every 5 peaches and

3 tomatoes are sold every 2 peaches.

i.e. the ratio is apples: peaches = 4 : 5 ...... (1)

and the ratio peaches: tomatoes = 2 : 3 ...... (2)

Peaches are the common link here in both the ratio terms.

Let us make the peaches value in both the ratio as 10 to make it equal in both the ratio terms.

Multiply (1) by 2 and (2) by 5:

The ratio becomes;

apples:peaches = 8:10

peaches: tomatoes = 10:15

In other words, the ratio becomes:

apples:peaches:tomatoes = 8:10:15

Let the number of apples = $8x$

Let the number of peaches = $10x\\$

Let the number of tomatoes = $15x$

We are given that total fruits are = 132

$\Rightarrow 8x+10x+15x = 132\\\Rightarrow 33x = 132\\\Rightarrow x =4\\$

So, number of apples sold = $8 \times 4 = 32$

Number of peaches sold = $10 \times 4 = 40$

Number of tomatoes sold = $15 \times 4 = 60$

A girl starts to walk to her school, which is 20 miles away, at 6:50 and at a rate of 3 miles per hour. After a while, her dad p

Alexeev081 [22]

The girl walked a distance of $\boxed{{\mathbf{5 miles}}}$ in her way.

Further explanation:

The time can be calculated as,

${\text{ time}}=\frac{{{\text{distance}}}}{{{\text{speed}}}}$

Given:

It is given that a girl stands 20 miles away from the school at $6:50{\text{ am}}$ and she started walking at the rate of $3{\text{ mi/hr}}$ and then after some time her dad pick up and he drives at the rate of $30{\text{ mi/hr}}$ . They reach the school at $9:00{\text{ am}}$ .

Step by step explanation:

Step 1:

Consider $x$ as the distance she walked in her way.

The speed of the girl when she walked is $3{\text{ mi/hr}}$ .

Now use the formula of time to obtain the walk time.

$\begin{gathered}{\text{ walktime}}=\frac{{{\text{distance walked}}}}{{{\text{walking speed}}}}\hfill\\{\text{ walktime}}=\frac{x}{3}\hfill\\\end{gathered}$

Since the total distance is $20{\text{ miles}}$ .

Then consider $20-x$ as the distance driven by the car.

The driving speed is $30{\text{ mi/hr}}$ .

Now use the formula of time to obtain the drive time.

$\begin{gathered}{\text{drive time}}=\frac{{{\text{distance travelled by car }}}}{{{\text{ speed of car}}}}\hfill\\{\text{drive time}}=\frac{{20-x}}{{30}} \hfill\\\end{gathered}$

Step 2:

Now we calculate the total time took by girl to reach the school.

$9:00-6:50={\text{2 hrs 10 min}}$

Now convert the timing into hours as,

$\begin{aligned}2{\text{ hours 10 minutes}}&=2+\frac{{10}}{{60}}\\&=2\frac{1}{6}\\&=\frac{{13}}{6}{\text{ hrs}}\\\end{aligned}$

Step 3:

Total time is the sum of drive time and walk time.

The total time can be expressed as,

$\frac{x}{3}+\frac{{20-x}}{{30}}=\frac{{13}}{6}$

Now solve the above equation by cross multiply method.

$\begin{aligned}\frac{x}{3}+\frac{{20-x}}{{30}}&=\frac{{13}}{6}\hfill\\\frac{{10x+20-x}}{{30}}&=\frac{{13}}{6}\hfill\\\frac{{9x+20}}{{30}}&=\frac{{13}}{6}\hfill\\6\left({9x+20}\right)&=13\left({30}\right)\hfill\\\end{aligned}$

Now simplify the further equation.

$\begin{aligned}6\left({9x+20}\right)&=13\left({30}\right)\hfill\\54x+120&=390\hfill\\54x&=390-120\hfill\\54x&=270\hfill\\\end{aligned}$

Simplify the further equation.

$\begin{aligned}54x&=270\hfill\\x&=\frac{{270}}{{54}}\hfill\\x&=\frac{{45}}{9}\hfill\\x&=5\hfill\\\end{gathered}$

Therefore, the girl walked 5 miles.
