How many miles per hour is this? (one furlong is 18 mile, and a fortnight is 14 days. a furlong originally referred to the lengt

h of a plowed furrow.)?

the complete question is

While driving in an exotic foreign land you see a speed limit sign on a highway that reads 180,000 furlongs per fortnight. How many miles per hour is this? (One furlong is 1/8 mile, and a fortnight is 14 days. A furlong originally referred to the length of a plowed furrow.)

Step 1

<u>convert (furlongs per fortnight) to (miles per fortnight)</u>

180,000 furlongs per fortnight=180,000*(1/8)=22,500 miles per fortnight

Step 2

<u>convert miles per fortnight to miles per hour</u>

1 day=24 hour

14 day=24*14=336 hours

22,500 miles per fortnight=22,500/336=66.96 mph

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

66.96 mph

A rectangular prism has a length of 4.2 cm, a width of 5.8 cm, and a height of 9.6 cm. A similar prism has a length of 14.7 cm,
grigory [225]

Answer: 3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Dimensions of larger prism = length of  4.2 cm, a width of 5.8 cm, and a height of 9.6 cm.

Dimensions of smaller prism = length of 14.7 cm, a width of 20.3 cm, and a height of 33.6 cm.

Scale factor = \dfrac{\text{Size of image}}{\text{Size of original figure}}

Since, smaller figure is the original figure and the bigger one is the image.

So, scale factor = \dfrac{14.7}{4.2}=3.5  [Taking lengths

Hence, the factor to produce the corresponding dimensions of the larger prism = 3.5

In the following diagram \overline{DE} \parallel \overline{FG}
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

<x = 31°

Step-by-step explanation:

m<BCA = m<GCJ (vertical angles)

m<BCA = 59° (substitution)

Since line KL is perpendicular to line FG, the angle formed at point B is 90°.

Therefore, m<ABC = 90°

m<BAC + m<ABC + m<BCA = 180° (sum of triangle)

m<BAC + 90° + 59° = 180° (Substitution)

m<BAC + 149° = 180°

m<BAC = 180° - 149°

m<BAC = 31°

<x = <BAC (vertical angles)

m<x = 31° (substitution)

Determine which functions have two real number zeros by calculating the discriminant, b2 – 4ac. Check all that apply. Please ans
timama [110]
<span>The discriminant of a quadratic equation is the b^2-4ac portion that the square root is taken of. If the discriminant is negative, then the function has 2 imaginary roots, if the discriminant is equal to 0, then the function has only 1 real root, and finally, if the discriminant is greater than 0, the function has 2 real roots. So let's look at the equations and see which have a positive discriminant. f(x) = x^2 + 6x + 8 6^2 - 4*1*8 36 - 32 = 4 Positive, so f(x) has 2 real roots. g(x) = x^2 + 4x + 8 4^2 - 4*1*8 16 - 32 = -16 Negative, so g(x) does not have any real roots h(x) = x^2 – 12x + 32 -12^2 - 4*1*32 144 - 128 = 16 Positive, so h(x) has 2 real roots. k(x) = x^2 + 4x – 1 4^2 - 4*1*(-1) 16 - (-4) = 20 Positive, so k(x) has 2 real roots. p(x) = 5x^2 + 5x + 4 5^2 - 4*5*4 25 - 80 = -55 Negative, so p(x) does not have any real roots t(x) = x^2 – 2x – 15 -2^2 - 4*1*(-15) 4 - (-60) = 64 Positive, so t(x) has 2 real roots.</span>
