We'll let x represent the weight of Ian's dog.

So we can make the formula Ian's dog (x) + Stephen' dog (5x) = 72

So:
 x+5x=72
6x=72
x=12

So ian's dog is 12 pounds, but we're trying to find stephen's dog (5x)

We need to multiply x by 5 so:

5(12)=60

Therefore, Stephen's dog is 60 pounds

If x was Ian's dog, you could then out it into an equation, looking like :
x + 5x = 72
Then you would simplify:
6x = 72
And then you can solve
6x = 72
÷ 6
x = 12
Now we know that Ian's dog is 12 pounds, if we multiply 12 by 5 we get Stephen's dog, which is 60 pounds. Hope this helps!

A building has an entry the shape of a parabolic arch 84 ft high and 42 ft wide at the base, as shown below. A parabola opening
Gala2k [10]
Since the parabola passes by the center its equation is:

y = ax². But it opens downward, that means the coefficient a is negative.

Then the equation becomes:

y = - ax², with x = 0 as its axis of symmetry.

We are given that the height is 84 ft when the opening downward is 42 ft.
That means to the (height) y, corresponds x =+21 & x=-21 (due to symmetry).
In order to calculate a let's plug y & x with their related values:

y = - ax²

84 = - a(21)²

84 = - a(441) and a = - 84/441 ↔ a = - 4/21

 And the final equation is : y = -4/21. x²

Explain how you can use the inscribed angle theorem to justify its second corollary, that an angle inscribed in a semicircle is
Katarina [22]
Prove:

The angle inscribed in a semicircle is a right angle. 

The inscribed angle theorem states that the angle θ, inscribed in a circle is half the measure of the central angle of the circle. So, if the given is a semi-circle, then the inscribed angle is half of 180, therefore, 90 degrees and a right angle.  <span />
