Answer:

$QS=68\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the value of x

we know that

r is the midpoint of qs

QR=RS

QS=QR+RS------> QS=2RS -----> equation A

RT=RS+ST ----> equation B

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

Substitute the given values in the equation B and solve for x

$8x-43=(2x-4)+(4x-1)$

$8x-43=6x-5$

$8x-6x=43-5$

$2x=38$

$x=19$

step 2

Find the value of RS

$RS=2x-4$

substitute the value of x

$RS=2(19)-4$

$RS=34\ units$

step 3

Find the value of QS

Remember equation A

QS=2RS

$QS=2(34)=68\ units$

You have just timed a person doing a hair cut for the first time. It took 50 minutes. What unit improvement factor learning curv

Sladkaya [172]

Answer: C. 70 percent

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, Time for the first unit = 50 minutes

Time for the second unit = 35 minutes

The unit improvement factor learning curve = (The time for the second unit) ÷ (time for the first unit) x 100.

So, The unit improvement factor learning curve = 35÷ 50 × 100 = 70 percent.

Hence, the correct option is "C. 70 percent".

If each lap in a pool is 100 meters long, how many laps equal one mile? Round to the nearest tenth. (Hint: 1 foot ≈0.3048 meter)

aalyn [17]

If each lap in a pool is 100 meters long,how many laps equal one mile Round to the nearest tenth.(Hint:1 foot=0.3048 meter) 1 mile = 5280 ft lets do a ratio: 1ft/.3034m = x ft/100m the ft and meters sybols cancel, so 1/.3048 =x/100 so 100/.3038 = x = 329.164 so there are 329.164 ft for every 100 meters to find the number of laps to get to a mile which is 5280, do another ratio 329.164ft/100 m =5280 ft/xm the left side reduces to 3.29164 =5280/x you can compute this and see that 5280/3.29164 = 1604.064 meters 1604.064 meters *1 lap / 100m = 16.04064 laps are required to make a mile

Rectangle TUVW is on a coordinate plane at T (a, b), U (a + 2, b + 2), V (a + 5, b − 1), and W (a + 3, b − 3). What is the slope

masya89 [10]

Answer:

The correct option is;

A 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The given rectangle TUVW has coordinates T(a, b), U (a + 2, b + 2), V ( a + 5, b - 1) and W (a + 3, b - 3).

Given that the coordinates of T and U are T (a, b), and U (a + 2, b + 2), we have;

The slope, m of the line TU is is found by the following relation;

$Slope, \, m =\dfrac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

Where we put (x₁, y₁) = (a, b) and (x₂, y₂) = (a + 2, b + 2), we have;

m = ((b + 2) - b)/((a + 2) - a) = 2/2 = 1

Whereby the slope of a line parallel to another line are equal, we have that the slope of the line parallel to the line that contains the side TU is also 1.
