Answer:
Using the charasteristics of a parallelogram, the length of line segment MX is 8 in (Third option).
Step-by-step explanation:
In parallelogram WXYZ:
WY=12 in., this is a diagonal in the parallelogram
XZ=16 in., this is the other diagonal in the parallelogram
WX=10 in., this is one of the sides of the parallelogram
XY=9 in., this is the other side of the parallelogram
MX=? this segment is between the vertex X and the point of intersection of the diagonals
In a parallelogram the diagonals intersect (point M) dividing them in equal parts each other, then:
MX=MZ=XZ/2
MX=MZ=(16 in.)/2
MX=MZ=8 in.
Let x represent time taken by 20 members to paint 9000 square foot wall.
We have been given that all members of our painting team paint at the same rate. 20 members can paint a 6000 square foot wall in 24 minutes. We are asked to find the time taken by 20 members to paint 9000 square foot wall.
We will use proportions to solve our given problem.






Therefore, it will take 36 minutes for 20 members to paint 9000 square foot wall.
1/10 is the same as saying 10 times less
Refer to the diagram below
The digit as the first decimal place is worth 1/10
The digit as the second decimal place is worth 1/100 which is 1/10 worth the digit as the first decimal place
Example of two decimal numbers:
2.56 and 2.68
The digit 6 in 2.56 is 6/100
The digit 6 in 2.68 is 6/10
The digit 6 in 2.56 is 1/10 as much as the digit 6 in 2.68
We have that the spring is going to have a sin or a cos equation. We have that the maximum distance of the spring is 6 inches and it is achieved at t=0. Let's fix this as the positive edge. Until now, we have that the function is of the form:
6sin(at+B). We have that the period is 4 minutes and hence that the time component in the equation needs to make a period (2pi) in 4 minutes. Thus 4min*a=2p, a=2p/4=pi/2. In general, a=2pi/T where a is this coefficient, T is the period. Finally, for B, since sin(pi/2)=1, we have that B=pi/2 because when t=0, we have that 6sin(B)=6. Substituting, we have f(t)=6sin(pi*t/2+pi/2)=6cos(pi*t/2)
by trigonometric identities.
