Answer:

The answer to your question is x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Process

1.- Use proportions to solve this problem

$\frac{4x + 2}{23} = \frac{2x + 16}{23 + 23}$

2.- Solve for x

46(4x + 2) = 23(2x + 16)

Expand

184x + 92 = 46x + 368

Simplify

184x - 46x = 368 - 92

138x = 276

x = 276/138

Result

x = 2

Which point on the y-axis lies on the line that passes through point C and is perpendicular to line AB?

SCORPION-xisa [38]

The question is incomplete! Complete question along with answer and step by step explanation is provided below.

Question:

Which point on the y-axis lies on the line that passes through point C and is perpendicular to line AB?

A. (-6, 0)

B. (0, -6)

C. (0, 2)

D. (2, 0)

The graph of the question is attached.

Answer:

The point is (x, y) = (0, 2)

The correct option is C.

Therefore, the point (0, 2) on the y-axis lies on the line that passes through point C and is perpendicular to line AB.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given graph, the points A and B are

$(x_1, y_1) = (-2, 4) \\\\(x_2, y_2) = (2,-8) \\\\$

The slope of the equation is given by

$m_1 = \frac{-8 - 4 }{2 -(-2)} \\\\ m_1 = \frac{-12 }{2+2} \\\\m_1 = \frac{-12 }{4} \\\\m_1 = -3 \\\\$

We know that the slopes of two perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of each other.

$m_2 = - \frac{1}{m_1}$

So the slope of the other line is

$m_2 = \frac{1 }{3} \\\\$

Now we can find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line AB and passes through the point C.

From the graph, the coordinates of point C are

$(x_1, y_1) = (6, 4)$

The point-slope form is given by,

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

Substitute the value of slope and the coordinates of point C

$y - 4 = \frac{1 }{3} (x - 6)\\\\$

To get the y-intercept, substitute x = 0

$y - 4 = \frac{1 }{3} (0 - 6) \\\\y - 4 = \frac{-6 }{3}\\\\y - 4 = -2\\\\y = 4 -2 \\\\y = 2 \\\\$

So, the point is

$(x, y) = (0, 2)$

The correct option is C.

Therefore, the point (0, 2) on the y-axis lies on the line that passes through point C and is perpendicular to line AB.

the members of the gardening group plan to build a walkway through the garden as formed by the IHOP potenuse of each of the four

aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

50.24 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the pythagorean theorem to find hypotenuse of each of the 4 triangles.

Pythagorean Theorem is $Hypotenuse^2=OneLeg^2+AnotherLeg^2$

For Spinach area, two of the legs are 8 and 6. Solving for hypotenuse:

$hyp^2=6^2+8^2\\hyp^2=100\\hyp=10$

For watermelon area, two of the legs are 12 and 8. Solving for hypotenuse:

$hyp^2=12^2+8^2\\hyp^2=208\\hyp=\sqrt{208}$

in red peppers area, the hypotenuse is already given as 15. But we need to find one leg since that will be the leg of the triangle in tomatoes area. Hypotenuse is 15 and one leg is 12, so the other leg is:

$15^2=12^2+eg^2\\15^2-12^2=leg^2\\leg=9$

So, in tomatoes area, we have one leg 9 and another leg 6. Solving for hypotenuse:

$hyp^2=9^2+6^2\\hyp^2=117\\hyp=\sqrt{117}$

Adding all the four hypotenuses, we get the length of the walkway:

Length of Walkway = $10+\sqrt{208} +15+\sqrt{117}\\ =50.24$ yards

A rancher owns a rectangular piece of land that is 4.1 mi long and 2.5 mi wide. Find the units for the perimeter of the rectangl

Naddik [55]

Answer:

13.1mi

Step-by-step explanation:

Length(l) = 4.1mi

Breadth(b) = 2.5 mi

Perimeter of a rectangle = addition of all sides that is = l + l + b + b as a rectangle has 2 opposite equal length and also breadth.

Therefore perimeter = 4.1 + 4.1 + 2.5 + 2.5

= 8.1 + 5

=13.1 mi

On Sunday Sheldon bought 3 and 1/2kg of plant food. He used 1 and 2/3kg on his strawberry plants and used 1/4kg for his tomato p

notsponge [240]

The remaining plant food is: 1 7/12 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Total Plant food = 3 1/2 kg

Plant food used on Strawberry Plants = 1 2/3 kg

Plant food used on tomato Plants = 1/4 kg

We will first calculate the total food plant used and then subtract the used plant food from the total plant food.

So,

$Total\ Plant\ Food\ used=1\frac{2}{3}+\frac{1}{4}\\=\frac{5}{3}+\frac{1}{4}\\=\frac{20+3}{12}\\=\frac{23}{12}$

Now,

$Left\ Food\ Plant=3\frac{1}{2}-\frac{23}{12}\\=\frac{7}{2}-\frac{23}{12}\\=\frac{42-23}{12}\\=\frac{19}{12}\\=1\frac{7}{12}$

The remaining plant food is: 1 7/12 kg

Given ΔADC and ΔAEB, What is AE?

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

AE = 43.2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the given question image, it can be seen that in the $\triangle ADC \text { and }\triangle AEB :$

1. $\angle B = \angle C = 90^\circ$

2. $\angle A$ is common to both the triangles.

3. Two angles are common, so the third angle $\angle E$ is also equal to $\angle D$ .

All the three angles in the $\triangle ADC \text { and }\triangle AEB$ are equal to each other, hence the triangles are similar.

As per the property of similar triangles, the ratio of their sides will be equal.

AB : AC = AE : AD

AC = 88 units

BC = 55 units

AB = AC - AB = 33 units

Let side AE = $x$ units

Side AD = AE + ED

So, AD = $x + 72$

Using the ratio:

$\dfrac{AB}{AC} = \dfrac{AE}{AD}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{33}{55} = \dfrac{x}{x+72}\\\Rightarrow 55x = 33 \times 72\\\Rightarrow x = \dfrac{3\times 72}{5}\\\Rightarrow x = 43.2\ units$

So, AE = 43.2 units
