Answer: You could use the Pythagorean theorem, since you know the length of the hypotenuse is 9 + 16 = 25 units and the length of one leg is 15 units. To find the value of a, use the relationship that the the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the legs. You could also use the geometric mean (leg) theorem, which states that the length of the hypotenuse is to the length of an adjacent leg as that adjacent leg length is to the length of its corresponding segment in the hypotenuse. So you could write and solve the proportion 25/a = a/6.

The scale factor of a room for a scale drawing is 2.3. The actual length of a wall in the room is 46 feet and the actual width o
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

There's two ways to solve this.

Step-by-step explanation:

First way:

Let's divide the width and length by 2.3.

46÷2.3=20

69÷2.3=30

20×30

600 ft²

Second Way:

Let's find the area of the actual room.

46×69

3,174 ft²

Let's find the scale drawing squared.

2.3²=5.29

3,174÷5.29

600 ft²

A coordinate grid with 2 lines. The first line is labeled y equals negative StartFraction 7 over 4 EndFraction x plus StartFract
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

1) (2.2, -1.4)

2) (1.33, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1)

Two lines, with their corresponding equations are given and we have to find the solution to the system of equations.

The given lines are:

Equation of Line 1:

y=\frac{-7}{4}x+\frac{5}{2}

This line passes through the points: (0, 2.5) , (2.2, -1.4)

Equation of Line 2:

y=\frac{3}{4}x-3

This line passes through the points (0, -3) , (2.2, -1.4)

By looking at the graph/given data we have to find the solution of these linear equations.

Remember that the solution of linear equations is an ordered pair, through which both the lines pass i.e. the point at which both the given lines intersect is the solution of the linear equations.

From the given data we can see that both the lines pass through one common point, (2.2, -1.4). Since, both lines pass through this point, this means this is the point of intersection of the lines and hence there solution.

So, the answer to this questions is (2.2, -1.4)

Question 2)

The given equations are:

y = 1.5x - 1                                        Equation 1

y = 1                                                  Equation 2

We can solve these equations by method of substitution.

Substituting the value of y from Equation 2, in Equation 1, we get:

1 = 1.5x - 1

1 + 1 = 1.5x

2 = 1.5x

x = 2/1.5

x = 1.33

y = 1

Thus, the solution of the given linear equations is (1.33, 1)

Natalka [10]
Answer: choice D

----------------------------------------------

Work Shown:

I'm assuming the problem is -4*(1-x) <= -12+2x where the first term is -4 and not 4

-4*(1-x) <= -12+2x
-4*(1-x) <= -12+2x
-4+4x <= -12+2x
-4+4x-2x <= -12+2x-2x
-4+2x <= -12
-4+2x+4 <= -12+4
2x <= -8
2x/2 <= -8/2
x <= -4

To graph x <= -4, you plot a closed circle at -4. Then you shade to the left of the closed circle. This matches with choice D

In parallelogram ABCD , diagonals AC⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ and BD⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ intersect at point E, AE=x2−16 , and CE=6x .
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

<h3>AC=96 units.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a parallelogram ABCD with diagonals AC and BD intersect at point E.

AE=x^2-16. , and CE=6x .

<em>Note: The diagonals of a parallelogram intersects at mid-point.</em>

Therefore, AE = EC.

Plugging expressions for AE and EC, we get

x^2-16=6x.

Subtracting 6x from both sides, we get

x^2-16-6x=6x-6x

x^2-6x-16=0

Factoriong quadratic by product sum rule.

We need to find the factors of -16 that add upto -6.

-16 has factors -8 and +2 that add upto -6.

Therefore, factor of x^2-6x-16=0 quadratic is (x-8)(x+2)=0

Setting each factor equal to 0 and solve for x.

x-8=0  => x=8

x+2=0  => x=-2.

We can't take x=-2 as it's a negative number.

Therefore, plugging x=8 in EC =6x, we get

EC = 6(8) = 48.

<h3>AC = AE + EC = 48+48 =96 units.</h3>

Exhibit 5-3 The probability distribution for the number of goals the Lions soccer team makes per game is given below. Number of
ioda

Answer:

0.55 is the probability that Lions will score less than 3 goals.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Number of goals(x):         0         1           2         3          4

             Probability:      0.05     0.15     0.35     0.30     0.25

We have to find the probability that Lions will score less than 3 goals.

P(X

0.55 is the probability that Lions will score less than 3 goals.
