Alejandro uses the steps below to convert StartFraction 5 over 8 EndFraction to a percent. Five-eighths right arrow 8.0 divided

by 5 = 1.6. 1.6 = 160 percent. Which best explains Alejandro’s error? The division was computed incorrectly. The division was completed in the incorrect order. The decimal was moved to the right too many times. The decimal was moved to the right instead of the left.

A square is constructed on side AD of quadrilateral ABCD such that FA lies on AB, as shown in the figure.

Elza [17]

Answer: The co-ordinates of F are (4.4, -4.6) and the co-ordinates of D are (4.4, -1.4).

Step-by-step explanation: Given that a square is constructed on side AD of quadrilateral ABCD such that FA lies on AB as shown in the figure. The co-ordinates of A are (6, -3) and the co-ordinates of B are (10, 1).

Also, AD : AB = 2 : 5 and the co-ordinates of the point E are (2.8, -3).

We are to select the correct co-ordinates of the points F and D.

Let, (a, b) are the co-ordinates of F and (c, d) are the co-ordinates of D.

Since ADEF is a square, so we have

AD = DE = EF = FA.

Given that

AD : AB = 2 : 5, so FA : AB = 2 : 5.

That is, \left(\dfrac{c+4.4}{2},\dfrac{d-4.6}{2}\right)=\left(\dfrac{2.8+6}{2},\dfrac{-3-3}{2}\right)

We have, after applying the internal division formula that

$\left(\dfrac{2\times 10+5\times a}{2+5},\dfrac{2\times 1+5\times b}{2+5}\right)=(6,-3)\\\\\\\Rightarrow \left(\dfrac{20+5a}{7},\dfrac{2+5b}{7}\right)=(6,-3)\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{20+5a}{7}=6,~~~~~\dfrac{2+5b}{7}=-3\\\\\\\Rightarrow 20+5a=42,~~~~\Rightarrow 2+5b=-21\\\\\\\Rightarrow 5a=22,~~~~~~~~~~\Rightarrow 5b=-23\\\\\\\Rightarrow a=4.4,~~~~~~~~~~~\Rightarrow b=-4.6.$

So, the co-ordinates of F are (4.4, -4.6).

Now, since ADEF is a square, and the diagonals of a square bisect each other.

So, the mid-points of both the diagonals are same.

That is,

$\textup{mid-point of DF}=\textup{mid-point of AE}\\\\\\\Rightarrow \left(\dfrac{c+4.4}{2},\dfrac{d-4.6}{2}\right)=\left(\dfrac{2.8+6}{2},\dfrac{-3-3}{2}\right)\\\\\\\Rightarrow \left(\dfrac{c+4.4}{2},\dfrac{d-4.6}{2}\right)=\left(\dfrac{8.8}{2},\dfrac{-6}{2}\right)\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{c+4.4}{2}=\dfrac{8.8}{2},~~~~~~\dfrac{d-4.6}{2}=-\dfrac{6}{2}\\\\\\\Rightarrow c+4.4=8.8,~~~~~\Rightarrow d-4.6=-6\\\\\Rightarrow c=4.4,~~~~~~~~~~~~\Rightarrow d=-1.4.$

So, the co-ordinates of D are (4.4, -1.4).

Thus, the co-ordinates of F are (4.4, -4.6) and the co-ordinates of D are (4.4, -1.4).

Annette [7]

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

A cube is a prism whose sides all have the same length. You can think of a cube like the three dimensional version of a square. In this problem, we know that Mary is using a microscope in order to look at a salt crystal and discovers it is shaped like a cube. Each square face has side length:

$s=0.1mm$

This diagram is shown in the first figure below. A crystal's square face is one of the six faces of the cube. So in order to draw it we need to know how many units we'll have in each side. Since we know that 1 unit on the grid represents 0.01mm, then:

$No. \ units=\frac{0.1mm}{0,01mm}=10$

So we will have 10 units that measure 0.01mm in each side. This is shown in the second figure below.

An office building has two elevators. One elevator starts out on the 4th floor, 35 feet above the ground, as it’s defending at a

iren2701 [21]

The system of equations are y = 35 - 2.2x and y = 1.7x

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that, office building has two elevators.

<em><u>One elevator starts out on the 4th floor, 35 feet above the ground, as it’s descending at a rate of 2.2 feet per second</u></em>

Let "x" be the number of seconds for which the elevator is descending

Therefore, for "x" seconds the descended feet is 2.2x feet

The elevator is at 4 th floor, 35 feet above ground

Therefore, from 35 feet, the elevator has descended 2.2x feet for "x" seconds

Let "y" be the final position of elevator after "x" seconds

Therefore,

y = 35 - 2.2x

<em><u>The other elevator starts out at ground level and is rising at a rate of 1.7 feet per second</u></em>

Here, the elevator is rising at a rate of 1.7 feet per second

Therefore, for "x" seconds, the elevator has raised 1.7x feet

Here the elevator is at ground level, therefore

y = 1.7x

Thus the system of equations are y = 35 - 2.2x and y = 1.7x

Please answer all of them need this

VikaD [51]

First Question

For a better understanding of the solution provided here please find the first attached file which has the diagram of the the isosceles trapezoid.

We dropped perpendiculars from C and D to intersect AB at Q and P respectively.

As can be seen in $\Delta BCQ$ , we can easily find the values of CQ and BQ.

Since, $Sin(75^0)=\frac{CQ}{8}$

$\therefore CQ=8\times Sin(75^0)\approx 7.73$ ft

In a similar manner we can find BQ as:

$Cos(75^0)=\frac{BQ}{8}$

$BQ\approx2.07$ ft

All these values can be found in the diagram attached.

Thus, because of the inherent symmetry of the isosceles trapezoid, PQ can be found as:

$PQ=22-(AP+QB)=22-(2.07+2.07)=17.86$

Let us now consider $\Delta AQC$

We can apply the Pythagorean Theorem here to find the length of the diagonal AC which is the hypotenuse of $\Delta AQC$ .

$AC=\sqrt{(AQ)^2+(QC)^2}=\sqrt{(AP+PQ)^2+(QC)^2}=\sqrt{(2.07+17.86)^2+(7.73)^2}\approx21.38$ feet.

Thus, out of the given options, Option B is the closest and hence is the answer.

Second Question

For this question we can directly apply the formula for the area of a triangle using sines which is as:

Area= $\frac{1}{2}$ (First Side)(Second Side)(Sine of the angle between the two sides)

Thus, from the given data,

Area= $\frac{1}{2}\times 218.5\times 224.5\times sin(58.2^0)\approx20845$ $m^2$

Therefore, Option D is the correct option.

Third Question

For this question we will apply the Sine Rule to the $\Delta ABC$ given to us.

Thus, from the triangle we will have:

$\frac{AB}{Sin(\angle C)}=\frac{BC}{Sin(\angle A)}$

$\frac{c}{Sin(\angle C)}=\frac{a}{Sin(\angle A)}$

$\frac{17}{Sin(25^0)}=\frac{a}{Sin(45^0)}$

This gives $a$ to be:

$a\approx28.44$

Which is not close to any of the given options.

Fourth Question

Please find the second attachment for a better understanding of the solution provided her.

As can be clearly seen from the attached diagram, we can apply the Cosine Rule here to find the return distance of the plane which is CA.

$AC=\sqrt{(AB)^2+(BC)^2-2(AB)(BC)\times Cos(\angle B)}$

$\therefore AC=\sqrt{(172.20)^2+(111.64)^2-2(172.20)(111.64)\times Cos(177.29^0)}\approx283.8$ miles.

Thus, Option D is the answer.
