Answer:

$2.15

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 3 Tomatoes cost $1.29

Then let's first find how much is 1 Tomatoes.

To do that we have to divide Cost by # of Tomatoes

3/1.29 = 0.43

Thus, 1 Tomatoes Cost 0.43

Now, the question is: How much will 5 tomatoes cost?

Therefore, 0.43 * 5 =2.15

Hence, 5 Tomatoes cost $2.15

Use prime factorization to reduce the fraction 36/180

laila [671]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

36 = 6* 6 = 2* 3 * 2* 3 = 2*2*3*3

180 = 2 * 2 * 3 * 3 * 5 = 2 * 2 * 3*3*5

$\frac{36}{180}= \frac{2*2*3*3}{2*2*3*3*5} = \frac{1}{5}$

Line FG goes through the points (4,9) and (1,3). Which equation represents a line that is perpendicular to FG and passes through

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

$x + 2y= 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Points:

$F = (4,9)$

$G = (1,3)$

Required

Determine the equation of line that is perpendicular to the given points and that pass through $(2,0)$

First, we need to determine the slope, m of FG

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

Where

$F = (4,9)$ --- $(x_1,y_1)$

$G = (1,3)$ --- $(x_2,y_2)$

$m = \frac{3 - 9}{1 - 4}$

$m = \frac{- 6}{- 3}$

$m =2$

The question says the line is perpendicular to FG.

Next, we determine the slope (m2) of the perpendicular line using:

$m_2 = -\frac{1}{m}$

$m_2 = -\frac{1}{2}$

The equation of the line is then calculated as:

$y - y_1 = m_2(x - x_1)$

Where

$m_2 = -\frac{1}{2}$

$(x_1,y_1) = (2,0)$

$y - 0 = -\frac{1}{2}(x - 2)$

$y = -\frac{1}{2}(x - 2)$

$y = -\frac{1}{2}x + 1$

Multiply through by 2

$2y = -x + 2$

Add x to both sides

$x + 2y= -x +x+ 2$

$x + 2y= 2$

Hence, the line of the equation is $x + 2y= 2$

<u>Using Pythagorus theorem</u> :

(A)

$PR = \sqrt{ {PQ}^{2} + {QR}^{2} }$

$PR = \sqrt{196 + 81} = \sqrt{277} = 16.64 \: cm$

(B)

$QR = \sqrt{ {PQ}^{2} + {PR}^{2} } = \sqrt{196 +324 } = 22.8 \: cm$
