Frankie argues that the fraction 20 is a rational number because the square root of 20 is 10. Frankie believes that because 10 i

s a whole number, it is rational
Alejandro disagrees. He believes that 20 is a rational number because the square root falls between 4 and 5, and the decimal terminates.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The square root of 20 is √(2 * 2 * 5) which is 2√5  Not so

√5 does not terminate and there is no pattern to the decimal. √5 is irrational.

Neither one is correct.

choli [55]

Answer:

PC  = 40/7 = 5.714 m

Step-by-step explanation:

i) the solution can be found by using similarity of triangles.

ii) therefore we can see that \frac{PC}{8}  = \frac{5}{7}

iii) therefore PC  = 40 / 7 = 5.714 m

This pencil cup is made out of plastic. It is 5 inches tall and has a radius of 1.75 inches. How many square inches of plastic w
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

To make the cup 64.57 square inches of plastic were used.

Step-by-step explanation:

A cup has the format of a cylinder with a open top. The surface area of the cup is given by the area of it's base (a circle) and the area of it's walls, wich can be seen as rectangle where the width is the length of the circle at the base and the height is the height of the cylinder. So we have:

area of the base = pi*r^2 = 3.14*(1.75)^2 = 3.14*3.0625 = 9.616 square inches

area of the walls = 2*pi*r*h = 2*3.14*(1.75)*5 = 54.95 square inches

surface area of the cup = area of the base + area of the walls = 9.616 + 54.95

surface area of the cup = 64.57 square inches

To make the cup 64.57 square inches of plastic were used.

What line intersects two other complaner lines in different points
kotykmax [81]

Answer & Explanation:

A transversal is a line that intersects two or more coplanar lines at different points. Two angles are corresponding angles if they occupy corresponding angles. Two angles are alternate exterior angles if they lie outside the two lines on opposite sides of the transversal.

A plant can either have a smooth seed (p) or a rough seed (q). Rough seeds are recessive and smooth seeds are dominant. In a pop
adell [148]
To calculate this, the Hardy-Weinberg principle can be used:

p² + 2pq + q² = 1 and p + q = 1

where p and q are the frequencies of the alleles (p - dominant, q - recessive), and p², q² and 2pq are the frequencies of the genotypes.

a) Since 32 plants have rough seed (recessive genotype: q²) out of 100 plants in total, then 

q² = 32/100 = 0.32


b) q = √q² = √0.32 = 0.56


c) Since p + q = 1, then

p = 1 - q = 1 - 0.56 = 0.44


d) 19 plants with rough seeds (recessive genotype: q²) in a population of 100 means that q² = 19/100 = 0.19

We need to calculate p (the allele frequency for smooth seeds).
We can find q because we know q²:

q = √q² = √0.19 = 0.44

Since p + q = 1, then

p = 1 - q = 1 - 0.4 = 0.56
