Answer:

  a = 20 . . . . liters

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, multiply the equation by 30+a:

  a = 0.4(30 +a)

  a = 12 + 0.4a . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  0.6a = 12 . . . . . . . . subtract 0.4a

  a = 12/0.6 = 20 . . . divide by the coefficient of a

20 L of alfalfa must be added

_____

<em>Check</em>

  20/(30+20) = 20/50 = 40/100 = 0.4 . . . . . . answer checks OK

Which pairs of rectangles are similar polygons?<br><br> Select each correct answer.
oee [108]
The corrects answers are B and D for this one. 

Since you divide the same side for both the the rectangles on both parts and if the division statements are equaled, then they are similar. 

For example; 

Answer B. 
50 / 10 = 5 
and 
30 / 6 = 5 

Answer D. 
7.5 / 2.5 = 3
and 
4.5 / 1.5 = 3 

Since they both equal the same for both of the rectangles for the answers individually, they are similar polygon rectangles. 

Hope this helps!

Triangles A B C and X Y Z are shown. Which would prove that ΔABC ~ ΔXYZ? Select two options. StartFraction B A Over Y X = StartF
sergejj [24]

Answer: Answer is 3

BC        6

------ = ------

XY         3

Step-by-step explanation:

The statements below can be used to prove that the triangles are similar.

On a coordinate plane, right triangles A B C and X Y Z are shown. Y Z is 3 units long and B C is 6 units long.  

A B Over X Y = 4 Over 2

?  

A C Over X Z = 52 Over 13  

△ABC ~ △XYZ by the SSS similarity theorem.

Which mathematical statement is missing?

1.   Y Z Over B C = 6 Over 3  

2.  ∠B ≅ ∠Y

3.  B C Over Y Z = 6 Over 3  

4.  ∠B ≅ ∠Z

1 Quart  = 2 pints → 3.5 quart of strawberry = 2 x 3.5 = 7 pints Strawberry
1 Gallon = 8 pints →1.25 Ga. water = 1.25 x 8 = 10 pints Water
2 pints of limonade = 2 pints of limonade 

Add up all pints Total = 7+10+2 = 19 pints of smoothie
