Answer: The correct option is (D) 36 units.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that point V lies between points U and W on UW, where

$UV=2x-4,~~VW=4x+10~~~\textup{and}~~~UW=9x-9.$

We are to find the length of UW in units.

Since point V lies on the line segment UW, so we must have

$UV+VW=UW\\\\\Rightarrow (2x-4)+(4x+10)=9x-9\\\\\Rightarrow 6x+6=9x-9\\\\\Rightarrow 9x-6x=6+9\\\\\Rightarrow 3x=15\\\\\Rightarrow x=5.$

Therefore, the length of UW is

$UW=9x-9=9\times5-9=45-9=36~\textup{units}.$

Thus, the length of UW is 36 units.

Option (D) is correct.

Elliot collects miniature toy cars. He wants to fill 4 display cases.each display case holds 15 cars. He has 28 cars now, and he

baherus [9]

Answer:

Elliot has to wait 11 months before he has enough cars

Step-by-step explanation:

Elliot has 4 display cases with each case being able to hold 15 cars. Thus we know

total # of cars Elliot can place in his display case = 4 * 15 = 60 cars

From this, we can figure out how many more cars Elliot needs by subtracting the amount of cars he already has

# of cars Elliot needs = 60 - 28 = 32 cars

Now to find the number of months Elliot needs, we divide by how many he can buy each month

# of months Elliot needs to save up for = 32 / 3 = 10 2/3

Assuming Elliot does not get his allowance until the end of the month, we will have to round the number of months up to the nearest integer, 11

What is the length of segment XY?

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

StartRoot 53 EndRoot units

XY = √53

Step-by-step explanation:

Choose which is point 1 and point 2 so you don't confuse the coordinates.

Point 1 (–4, 0) x₁ = –4 y₁ = 0

Point 2 (3, 2) x₂ = 3 y₂ = 2

Use the formula for the distance between two points.

$L = \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2} + (y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}}$

$XY = \sqrt{(3-(-4))^{2} + (2-0)^{2}}$

$XY = \sqrt{49 + 4}$

$XY = \sqrt{53}$

Therefore the line of segment XY is √53.

The angle measurement in the diagram are represented by the following expressions.

PSYCHO15rus [73]

The value of x=9° and ∠B=40°

Step-by-step explanation:

From angles relationship, ∠A =∠B=corresponding angles

5x-5°=3x+13°

5x-3x=13°+5°

2x=18°

x=18/2 =9°

∠B=3x+13°= 3×9°+13° = 27° +13° =40°

Show that the three points whose position vectors are 7j+ 10k,-i + 6j+6k and - 4i + +9j + 6k form an isosceles right

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

AB = √18 , BC=√18 and CA =4

AB²+BC² = CA² and AB=BC

ΔABC isosceles right angled triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given vectors are 7j+ 10k,-i + 6j+6k and - 4i + +9j + 6k

A( 0,7,10), B( -1,6,6) C(-4,9,6)

AB⁻ = OB-OA = -I+6j+6k-(7j+10k) = -I-j-4k

AB = $\sqrt{1+1+16} = \sqrt{18}$

BC = OC-OB = -4i+9j+6k-(-I+6j+6k) = -3i+3j

BC= $\sqrt{9+9} =\sqrt{18}$

CA = OA-OC = 7j+10k - (- 4i + +9j + 6k ) = 4i-2j+4k

CA = $\sqrt{16+4+16} =\sqrt{36} =4$

Since AB²+BC² = CA²

And AB=BC

Therefore it follows that ΔABC is a right angled isosceles triangle
