Answer: Option C

the approximate height of the souvenir of the Eiffel Tower to the nearest tenth is __13 in___.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that each foot of height of the Eiffel Tower is equivalent to 1/80 inch of height of the souvenir.

The Eiffel Tower is 1,069 feet high.

Then the height of the souvenir the 1,069 times 1/80 in

$h = 1,069 *\frac{1}{80}\\\\h=13.3\ in$

The answer is the option C

Line segment YV of rectangle YVWX measures 24 units. What is the length of line segment YX? 8 units units 12 units units

I assume there is a missing piece of information here, either the area or the perimeter should be given.
I'll just tell you how to solve this type of problems and you can apply using the information in your question.

If YV is the width of the rectangle, then YX will be its length.

Now, if the area is known:
area of triangle = width x length = YV x YX
YX = area / 24

If the perimeter is known:
perimeter of rectangle = 2 (length + width)
perimeter = 2 (YV + YX)
YX = (perimeter / 2) - 24

People at the state fair were surveyed about which type of

Ronch [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You would require the table with the number of males and females who prefer either pink or yellow lemonade at the state fair.

Pink Lemonade Yellow Lemonade TOTAL

Male 156 104 260

Female 72 48 120

TOTAL 228 152 380

P(pink lemonade | female) = 72 / (48 + 72) = 72 / 120 = 0.6

P(pink lemonade) = (156 + 72) / (156 + 72 + 104 + 48) = 228 / 380 = 0.6

Therefore, The event "prefers pink lemonade" and "female" are independent because P(pink lemonade | female) = P(pink lemonade) = 0.6

Solve for x, given the equation Square root of x plus 9 − 4 = 1.

finlep [7]

Remember that an extraneous solution of an equation is a solution that emerges from the algebraic process of solving the equation but is not a valid solution of the equation.

First, we are going to solve our equation algebraically:

Step 1 simplify the equation:

$\sqrt{x} +9-4=1$

$\sqrt{x}+ 5=1$

Step 2 subtract 5 from both sides of the equation:

$\sqrt{x} +5-5=1-5$

$\sqrt{x} =-4$

Step 3 square both sides of the equation:

$\sqrt{x} ^2=(-4)^2$

$x=16$

Next, we are going to replace our solution in our original equation and check if it is a valid solution:

$\sqrt{x} +9-4=1$

$\sqrt{16} +5=1$

$4+5=1$

$9\neq 1$

Since 9 is not equal to 1, $x=16$ is not valid solution of the equation; therefor it is an extraneous solution.

We can conclude that the correct answer is: x = 16, solution is extraneous

Alex's friend Pablo comes up with an exact equation to find out how many bags he needs. Use his equation

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

8.5 bags are needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Number of bags needed $B=x(2x+7)+3(2x+7)+(x+4)$

$(2x + 7) = 4$

To Find : how many bags he needs?

Solution :

$(2x + 7) = 4$

$2x=-3$

$x=-\frac{3}{2}$

Now we are given that Number of bags needed $B=x(2x+7)+3(2x+7)+(x+4)$

Substitute the value of x

$B=(\frac{-3}{2})(2(\frac{-3}{2})+7)+3(2(\frac{-3}{2})+7)+((\frac{-3}{2})+4)$

$B=8.5$

Hence 8.5 bags are needed.

A has the coordinates (–4, 3) and B has the coordinates (4, 4). If DO,1/2(x, y) is a dilation of △ABC, what is true about the im

fomenos

A dilation is a transformation $D_{o,k}(x,y)$ , with center O and a scale factor of k that is not zero, that maps O to itself and any other point P to P'. The center O is a fixed point, P' is the image of P, points O, P and P' are on the same line.

In a dilation of $D_{o, \frac{1}{2} }(x,y)$ , the scale factor, $\frac{1}{2}$ is mapping the original figure to the image in such a way that the distances from O to the vertices of the image are half the distances from O to the original figure. Also the size of the image is half the size of the original figure.

Therefore, <span>If $D_{o, \frac{1}{2} }(x,y)$ is a dilation of △ABC, the truth about the image △A'B'C'</span> are:

<span>AB is parallel to A'B'.

$D_{o, \frac{1}{2} }(x,y)=( \frac{1}{2}x, \frac{1}{2}y)$

The distance from A' to the origin is half the distance from A to the origin.</span>
