Sophia = Ben - 2
Sophia = 18 - 2
Sophia = 16

In short, She has 16 pears

Hope this helps!

Devon wants to write an equation for a line that passes through 2 of the data points he has collected. The points are (8, 5) and
ser-zykov [4K]
For this case we have the following equation:
 7x - 10y = 3

 From here, we must substitute ordered pairs of the form:
 (x, y)
 If the ordered pair satisfies the equation, then it belongs to the line.
 We have then:

 For (8, 5):
 
We substitute the following values:
 x = 8

y = 5

7 (8) - 10 (5) = 3

56 - 50 = 3

6 = 3
 We observe that the equation is not satisfied and therefore, this point does not belong to the line.
 Since one of the points does not belong to the line, then the equation is not a good model.

 Answer:
 
It is not a good model. One of the points does not belong to the line.

Points H and F lie on circle c What is the length of line segment GH?
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Points H and F lie on  circle with center C. EG = 12, EC = 9 and ∠GEC = 90°.

To find: Length of GH.

Sol: EC = CH = 9 (Radius of the same circle are equal)

Now, GC = GH + CH

GC = GH + 9

Now In ΔEGC, using pythagoras theorem,

(Hypotenuse)^{2} = (Base)^{2} +(Altitude)^{2} ......(ΔEGC is a right triangle)

(GC)^{2} = (GE)^{2} +(EC)^{2}

(GH + 9)^{2} = (9)^{2} +(12)^{2}

(GH )^{2} + (9)^{2} + 18GH = 81 + 144

(GH )^{2} + 81 + 18GH = 81 + 144

(GH )^{2} + 18GH = 144

Now, Let GH = <em>x</em>

x^{2} +18x = 144

On rearranging,

x^{2} +18 x - 144 = 0

x^{2} - 6x +24x + 144 = 0

x (x-6) + 24 (x - 6) =0

(x - 6) (x + 24) = 0

So x = 6  and x = - 24

∵ x cannot be - 24 as it will not satisfy the property of right triangle.

Therefore, the length of line segment GH = 6 units. so, Option (D) is the correct answer.

Arthur borrowed $2,100 from the bank. 3 years later, Arthur owes the bank $2,478. What was the percentage rate of simple interes
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

Percentage Rate=6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Total borrowed=$2,100

Time=3 years

Rate=?

Total amount owed after 3 years= total borrowed + simple interest

$2,478=$2,100 + x

X=$2,478 - $2,100

=$378

The simple interest=$378

Simple interest=P×R×T

Where,

P= principal=$2,100

R=Rate=?

T=Time=3 years

Simple interest=$378

Simple interest=P×R×T/100

$378=$2,100×R×3/100

$378=$6,300R/100

$378=$63R

R=$378/$63

R=6

Therefore,

Rate=6%

In circle A shown, BC || DE , mBC=58° and mDE=142°. Determine the measure of ZCFE . Show how you arrived at your answer.
AysviL [449]

Answer:

< CFE = 40°

Step-by-step explanation:

To better understand the solution, see attachment for the diagram.

Given:

BC parallel to DE

Measure of Arc BD = 58°

Measure of Arc DE = 142°

First step: Draw a diameter that passes through the centre of the circle and name it. In this case, the diameter is line ST.

The line ST divides the arc BD and arc DE into half.

That is:

Arc SC = 1/2(arc BC) =1/2(58)

Arc SC = 29°

Arc TE = 1/2(arc DE) =1/2(142)

Arc TE = 71°

Arc SC + Arc CE + Arc TE = 180° (Sum of angles in a semicircle

29° + Arc CE  + 71° = 180°

Arc CE + 100° = 180°

Arc CE = 180-100

Arc CE = 80°

Inscribed angle = 1/2(intercepted angle)

<CFE = 1/2(Arc CE )

<CFE = 1/2(80)

< CFE = 40°
