Answer:

180 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

For similar figures the ratio of areas is the square of the ratio of linear dimensions.

We take "tripled in size" to mean that the linear dimensions of the larger rectangle are 3 times those of the smaller rectangle. That means the area of the larger rectangle will be 3² = 9 times the area of the smaller one.

Area = (3²)(20 cm²) = 180 cm² . . . . area after tripled in size

Billy, let's recall what a linear pair of angles is:

• They are formed when two lines intersect.

• Two angles are said to be linear if they are adjacent angles formed by two intersecting lines.

• The measure of a straight angle is 180 degrees, so a linear pair of angles must add up to 180 degrees.

Upon saying that we have that:

• CAD and DAE are linear pairs

• CAD and CAB are linear pairs

• DAE and BAE are linear pairs

• DAE and DAC are linear pairs

Now, you are ready to select all the options that actually apply.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the pennies need to be kept under the pillow in order to be doubled, we're really looking for the day the girl will wake up with 5 billion pennies under her pillow.

The general formula of that geometric sequence will be: t = 1 + 2^(n-1)

We need to find the value of n when t will be over 5,000,000,000.

So, the equation becomes:

5,000,000,001 = 1 + 2^(n-1)

$2^{n-1}= 5,000,000,001$

$log(2^{n-1}) = log(5,000,000,000)$

(n-1) * log(2) = log(5,000,000,000)

n-1 = log(5,000,000,000) / log(2)

n-1 = 22.25

n = 33.25

Since it has to be complete days, and we have to reach over 5 billion, then we round it up to 34.

According to the scatterplot below, which statement is correct? A graph titled Courses Completed versus Remaining Credits Needed

kondaur [170]

Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that a graph titled Courses Completed versus Remaining Credits Needed to Graduate has courses completed on the x-axis and Credits need to graduate on the y-axis.

Points plotted are (4, 110), (8, 76), (16, 63), (20, 53), (24, 33).

Since, x-axis represents the courses completed, therefore the input, or independent variable is courses completed.

Since, y-axis represents the Credits need to graduate, therefore the output, or dependent variable is Credits need to graduate.

Therefore, the correct option is B.
