Using proportions, it is found that the thickness of the icing between the layers, in inches, is of:

E 1 inch

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount.

In this problem, there are six layers, each measuring 1.25 inches tall, hence the height of these layers is:

6 x 1.25 = 7.5 inches

Then the height of the icing between the layers is of:

13.5 - 7.5 = 6 inches

Six layers, hence each icing is of:

6/6 = 1 inch

Quadrilateral RAPS is located at the vertices
blondinia [14]

Answer:

R''(-1, 4), A''(-4, 3), P''(-5, 0), S''(-1, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Transformation is the movement of a point from its initial location to a new position. Types of transformation include dilation, reflection, translation and rotation.

If a point A(x, y) is reflected over the line y = x, the new point is at  A'(y, x)

If a point A(x, y) is  rotated 180° clockwise about the origin, the new location is at A'(-x, -y)

Since Quadrilateral RAPS is located at the vertices  R(-4,1), A(-3, 4), P(0,5), S(-1,1), After been reflected  across the line y = x, the new locations are at:

R'(1, -4), A'(4, -3), P'(5, 0), S'(1, -1)

Then the rotation of the points R'(1, -4), A'(4, -3), P'(5, 0), S'(1, -1) 180° about the origin gives:

R''(-1, 4), A''(-4, 3), P''(-5, 0), S''(-1, 1)

I keep believing the answer is either 18,000 or 1,800 but im incorrect. Can someone please help me?? I use the formula A^2 *2*A*
Yuri [45]

The base is a square, so the area of the square is (10 cm)² = 100 cm²

To find the area of each triangle use the formula

base • height

10 cm • 9 cm = 90 cm²

now multiply by the number of triangles

90 cm • 4 = 360 cm²

Add the area of the square:

100 cm² + 360 cm² = 460 cm²

I hope it's correct

Which of the following is true about the expression5*1/4
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

C. It represents the product of two rational numbers and its equivalent to a rational number.

Step-by-step explanation:

5 is a natural number, a real number and a rational number.

\frac{1}{4} is a real number and a rational number.

The product of 5 × \frac{1}{4} = 1.25 which is also a rational number in addition to being a real number.

A zoo has 151515 Emperor penguins. The Emperor penguins make up 30\%30%30, percent of all the penguins at the zoo.
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

50 total penguins

Step-by-step explanation:

In the following example x = the total number of penguins.

Set it up as follows.

15 over x = 30 over 100

Cross multiply the numbers. (30 times x) and (15 times 100)

This results in 30x = 1500.

Divide both sides by 30 which results in x = 50.

This means that there is a total of 50 penguins.

In the following example x = the number of Emperor penguins.

If you would like to double check this, set up as follows.

x over 50 = 30 over 100

Cross multiply the numbers. (30 times 50) (100 times x)

This results in 100x = 1500.

Divide both sides by 100 which results in x =1 5.

This means that there are 15 Emperor penguins.
