Use the triangle below. Find the length of the missing side. If necessary, round to the nearest tenth. B = 12 and c = 13 A= ?

We are given that there are 58 left-handed students and 609 right-handed students at East Middle School and these numbers of students are proportional to the number of left and right handed students at East Middle School.

Given the above information, we are are to determine which two options could be the the numbers of left-handed and right-handed students at West Junior High.

Ratio of right handed to left handed students at East Middle School = $\frac{609}{58} = 10.5$

Checking for ratios of the given options:

A. $\frac{483}{42} =11.5$

B. $\frac{378}{28} =13.5$

C. $\frac{504}{48} =10.5$

D. $\frac{560}{56} =10$

E. $\frac{315}{30} =10.5$

Therefore, the possible numbers of left-handed and right-handed students at West Junior High could be C. Left-handed: 48, Right-handed: 504 and D. Left-handed: 30, Right-handed: 315.

Which two statements are missing in steps 3 and 4?

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

∠B ≅ ∠Y △ABC ~ △ZYX by the SAS similarity theorem.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. $AB=6$ units

$YZ=3$ units

$BC=8$ units

$XY=4$ units, then

$\dfrac{AB}{ZY}=\dfrac{BC}{YX}=2$

2. $\angle B$ and $\angle Y$ are right angles - given

3. $\angle B\cong \angle Y$ two right angles are always congruent.

4. $\triangle ABC\sim \triangle ZYX$ by SAS similarity theorem.

SAS Similarity Theorem states that if two sides in one triangle are proportional to two sides in another triangle and the included angle in both are congruent, then the two triangles are similar.

Ms. Walker's class set up an online fund with a goal to raise $1,280 to go on a field trip. Ms. Walker starts the fund by deposi

madreJ [45]

What you can use for this case is a function of the potential type.
We have then
y = a (b) ^ x
Where we have:
Walker starts the fund by depositing $ 5
a = 5
Each week the balance of the fund is twice the balance of the previous week:
b = 2
The function is:
y = 5 (2) ^ x
The number of weeks to reach $ 1280 is 8 weeks.
Check:
y = 5 (2) ^ 8
y = 1280
Answer:
An equation can be used to find the number of weeks, x, after which the balance of the fund will reach $ 1,280 is:
y = 5 (2) ^ x
The number of weeks that it takes to reach the class goal is
8 weeks
