Answer:

Following are the true statements

2. The factors common to 20a and 15ab are 1, 5, and a.

3. The factors common to 20a and 24b are 1, 2, and 4.

5. The GCF of the expression is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Expression is 20a + 15ab + 24b

Now lets have a look at each of the options provided!

1. The factors common to 20a and 15ab are 1, 5, a, and b.

False

As you can see there is no b in 20a term only 1,5,a are common hence it is false.

2. The factors common to 20a and 15ab are 1, 5, and a.

True

The terms 20a and 15ab are divisible by 1,5,a hence it is true.

3. The factors common to 20a and 24b are 1, 2, and 4.

True

The terms 20a and 24b are divisible by 1,2,4 hence it is true

4. The GCF of the expression is ab.

False

20a + 15ab + 24b

As you can see ab is not common in all of the terms hence it cannot be greatest common factor

5. The GCF of the expression is 1

True

Factor of 20 are: 2,2,5,1

Factor of 15 are: 3,5,1

Factor of 24 are: 2,2,2,3,1

As you can see the only common factor among all the terms is 1 hence GCF is 1.

An isosceles triangle ABC with the base BC is inscribed in a circle. Find the measure of angles of it, if measure of arc BC = 10

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

The measures of the angles of the triangle are 51° , 64.5° , 64.5°

The measures of the angles of the triangle are 129° , 25.5° , 25.5°

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain the meaning of the inscribed triangle in a circle

- If a triangle inscribed in a circle, then the vertices of the triangle lie

on the circumference of the circle and each vertex is an inscribed

angle in the circle subtended by the opposite arc

- Fact in the circle the measure of the inscribed angle is 1/2 the

measure of its subtended arc

* Now lets solve the problem

- Δ ABC is an isosceles with the base BC

∴ AB = AC

∴ m∠B = m∠C

- Δ ABC is inscribed in a circle

∴ ∠A is inscribed angle subtended by arc BC (minor or major)

# The measure of the minor arc is less than 180° and the measure of

the major arc is greater then 180° and the sum of the two arcs

equals the measure of the circle which is 360°

∴ ∠B subtended by arc AC

∴ ∠C subtended by arc AB

∵ The measure of the arc BC = 102°

- There is two cases in this question

(1) If the angle A subtended by the minor arc BC

(2) If the angle A subtended by the major arc BC

- Lets solve case (1)

∵ ∠A is an inscribed angle subtended by the minor arc BC

∴ m∠A = 1/2 the measure of the arc BC

∵ The measure of the arc BC is 102°

∴ m∠A = 1/2 × 102 = 51°

∵ The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°

∴ m∠A + m∠B + m∠C = 180°

∴ 51 + m∠B + m∠C = 180° ⇒ subtract 51 from both sides

∴ m∠B + m∠C = 129°

∵ m∠B = m∠C ⇒ isosceles Δ

∴ m∠B = m∠C = 129/2 = 64.5°

* The measures of the angles of the triangle are 51° , 64.5° , 64.5°

- Lets solve case (2)

∵ ∠A is an inscribed angle subtended by the major arc BC

∴ m∠A = 1/2 the measure of the arc BC

∵ The measure of the minor arc BC is 102°

∵ The measure of the circle is 360°

∴ The measure of the major arc = 360 - 102 = 258°

∴ m∠A = 1/2 × 258 = 129°

∵ The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°

∴ m∠A + m∠B + m∠C = 180°

∴ 129 + m∠B + m∠C = 180° ⇒ subtract 129 from both sides

∴ m∠B + m∠C = 51°

∵ m∠B = m∠C ⇒ isosceles Δ

∴ m∠B = m∠C = 51/2 = 25.5°

* The measures of the angles of the triangle are 129° , 25.5° , 25.5°

A basketball player is shooting a basketball toward the net. The height, in feet, of the ball t seconds after the shot is modele

tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

Yes, between 0.84 seconds and 0.85 seconds after the shot is launched.

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{The equation for ball height} : 6+30\cdot t-16\cdot t^{2}\\\text{The equation for shot blocker's height} : 9+25\cdot t-16\cdot t^{2}$

But, the shot is made before two tenths of a second or 0.2 seconds therefore modified equation for ball height is :

$6+30\cdot (t-0.2)-16\cdot (t-0.2)^{2}$

Now for the shot to be blocked,the height of shot blocker must be greater than the height of the ball which is shot before 0.2 seconds :

$\implies 9+25\cdot t-16\cdot t^{2}\geq 6+30\cdot (t-0.2)-16\cdot (t-0.2)^{2}\\\implies 9+25\cdot t-16\cdot t^{2}\geq 6+30\cdot t-6-16\cdot (t^{2}-0.4\cdot t+0.04)\\\implies9+25\cdot t-16\cdot t^{2}\geq 30\cdot t-16\cdot t^{2}+6.4\cdot t-0.64\\\implies 9+25\cdot t\geq 36.4\cdot t-0.64\\\implies 9.64\geq 11.4\cdot t\\\\\implies t\leq \frac{9.64}{11.4}\approx 0.846$
