Answer:

AB = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

BD = 5x – 26

BC = 2x + 1

AC = 43

Using the segment addition postulate, AC = AB + BC.

We know that BD = BC, BD = 5x-26 and BC = 2x+1.  We can set up an equation to find the value of x:

5x - 26 = 2x + 1   Subtract 2x from each side

5x - 26 - 2x = 2x + 1 - 2x

3x-26 = 1  Add 26 to each side

3x-26+26 = 1+26

3x=27  Divide both sides by 3

3x/3 = 27/3

x = 9

This means that BC = 2x + 1 = 2(9) + 1 = 18 + 1 = 19.

We know that AC = AB + BC; using our given information as well as the value of BC we just found, we have

43 = AB + 19  Subtract 19 from each side

43 - 19 = AB + 19 - 19

24 = AB

Catherine has $54. She plans to spend more than $20 of the money for a painting canvas. The rest will go toward paints. Each tub
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

4. 54- 8.5x>20

Step-by-step explanation:

Catherine only has $54, so she cannot spend more than that.

The canvas will cost at least $20, but we don't know how much exactly.

The tubes cost $8.50 each.

So, she starts with a total budget of $54, out of which she will buy paints (8.5x) and she wants to have at least $20 left for canvas.

So, we transpose those facts into the inequity:

54 - 8.5x > 20

A garden measuring 16 meters by 8 meters is going to have a walkway constructed all around the perimeter, increasing the total a
Semenov [28]

Answer:

The width of the pathway is:

  • <u>7 meters</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

To identify the width of the pathway, you must remember the area formula of a rectangle:

  • Area of a rectangle = length * width.

From which the width can be cleared:

  • Width of a rectangle = area / length.

We know that the length of the terrain was not modified since the pathway is in the perimeter of the rectangle (16 m) and that the new area is 240 m^2, so we only have to replace the cleared formula:

  • Width of a rectangle = 240 m^2 / 16 m = 15 m.

The new width is equal to 15 meters, but since the question is not the total width but the width of the pathway, the width of the previously provided land must be subtracted from the value obtained.

  • <u>Pathway width = Total width - Garden width. </u>
  • <u>Pathway width = 15m - 8m = 7 meters.</u>

Find the volume of a right circular cone that has a height of 12.7 m and a base with a circumference of 18.9 m. Round your answe
DochEvi [55]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

Height of cone, h = 12.7 m

Circumference of base, C = 18.9 m

The base of a circular cone is circular. The circumference of circle is given by :

C=2\pi r

r is radius

r=\dfrac{C}{2\pi}\\\\r=\dfrac{18.9 }{2\pi}\\\\r=3\ m

The volume of a right circular cone is given by the formula as :

V=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi r^2h

V=\dfrac{1}{3}\times 3.14 \times 3^2\times 12.7\\\\V=119.634\ m^3

A score that is 6 points below the mean corresponds to a z-score of z = 22.00. What is the population standard deviation?
pochemuha

Answer:

<h2>Standard deviation is a measure of how spread out of numbers are:</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

a score that is 6 points below the mean corresponds to a z score of z= 22 than the population standard deviation will be

----

z = (distance from mean)/(standard deviation)

-----

22 = 6/s

s = 6/22

s=0.272

The population standard deviation deviation is 0.272
