One inch on a map equals 150 miles. What do 3 1/2 inches represent?

If 1 inch = 150 miles, we can use fractions (ratios) to determine what 3 1/2 inches would be

Since 1 is correlated to 150, they would be on the same fraction

1/150 (it really doesn’t matter which one is on top and which one is on the bottom)

And since 1 and 3 1/2 are both inches, they both go on the same side of the fraction. X would be a placeholder value for the miles

1/150 = 3.5/x

Multiply x

x • 1/150 = 3.5

Divide by 1/150 or multiply by 150 (they are the same in this case)

x = 525 miles

Or, more simply in this case, just multiply 3.5 inches by 150 miles

3.5 • 150 = 525 miles

Given Trinagle ABC with A(-4, -2), B(4,4), and C(18,-8), answer the following questions.
True [87]
For the answer to the question above, the slope of segment AC is  (-6/22) = -3/11.

The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals, so 
you know that the slope of the perpendicular bisector will be 11/3.

The midpoint of segment AC is  (7, -5).

Now you have the slope of the perpendicular bisector, and a
point on it.  You should be able to complete the equation now.

Notice how sneaky this question is.  You don't need to know
point-B at all, and you don't even need to know that there's
any triangle.  All you need to know is points  A  and  C.

Find the sum of the first 16 terms of the series 14+11+8+5+...-82
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

-136

Step-by-step explanation:

This series can be written as: (14 - 3*0) + (14 - 3*1) +...+ (14 - 3*n)

The sum of the first 16 terms is:

14*16 <u>- 0 - 3 - 6 - 9 -...</u> = 224 - 360 = -136

This underlined bit can be calculated in many ways, I personally used my calculator, but there are formulas to do so.

I NEED HELP PLEASE! :)
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Circle equation: (x - h) + (x - k) = r²

(h, k) = center

r = radius

The center is (-7, 4)

To find the radius, take the square root of 49.

√49 = 7

The radius is 7.

Best of Luck!

An open box is to be made from a square piece of material with a side length of 10 inches by cutting equal squares from the corn
nalin [4]
When you cut off for squares of x side length, the area of the base of the box is [10 - 2x]^2 and the height ot the box is x, then the volumen of the box is:

(10 - 2x)^2 * x = 48

(100 - 40x + 4x^2)*x = 48

100x - 40x^2 + 4x^3 = 48

4x^3 - 40x^2 + 100x - 48 = 0

x^3 - 10x^2 + 25x - 12 = 0

Using Ruffini you can get 3 as a solutio:

3^3 - 10(3^2) + 25(3) - 12 = 27 - 90 + 75 - 12 = 0

Factoring  you get (x - 3) (x^2 -7x + 4) = 0

Then,  you can apply the quadratic formula to  x^2 -7x + 4 to find the other two roots.

They are x = 0.6277 and x = 6.3723.

x = 6.32723 is not valid because 10 - 2x < 0.

Then there are two real solutcions for the side of the squate: 3 and 0.6277  (althoug the second one is a very low box)
