Answer:

EG = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- If a line bisects another line that means the point of intersection

 divides the second line into two equal parts

∵ EF bisects CD at G

∴ CG = GD

∵ CG = 5x - 1

∵ GD = 7x - 13

∴ 7x - 13 = 5x - 1

* Lets solve the equation

∵ 7x - 13 = 5x - 1

- Subtract 5x from both sides and add 13 to both sides

∴ 7x - 5x = 13 - 1

∴ 2x = 12

- Divide both sides by 2

∴ x = 6

- Point G divides EF into two parts EG and GF

∴ EF = EG + GF

∵ EF = 6x - 4

- Substitute the value of x to find EF

∵ x = 6

∴ EF = 6(6) - 4 = 36 - 4 = 32

∴ EF = 32

∵ GF = 13

- Substitute the values of EF and GF in the equation of EF

∴ 32 = EG + 13

- Subtract 13 from both sides

∴ 19 = EG

* EG = 19

A circular backyard pool has a diameter of 26 feet and is 4 feet deep. One cubic foot of water has a capacity of approximately 7
klasskru [66]
Find the water volume of the pool.  The formula for a vertical cylinder is V = pi*r^2*h, which here is V = pi(13 ft)^2*(4 ft) = 676*pi cubic feet.

Now convert this 676 cu. ft. to gallons:

Mult (676*pi cu ft) by the conversion factor (7.48 gal) / (1 cu ft):

676*pi cu ft     7.48 gal
--------------- * ------------- = 5056*pi gallons (rounded down from 5056.48 pi)
        1             1 cu ft

The cost of filling the pool will be

5056.48*pi gallons        $3
--------------------------- * ------------- = $48 (to the nearest dollar)
        1                           1000 gal

I need answers ASAP!!!
Trava [24]

Answer:

C) Both statements could be correct. RST could be the result of two translations of ABC. TSR could be the result of a reflection and a translation of ABC.

Step-by-step explanation:

When naming congruent shapes, the <u>orders of the congruent vertex letters need to be the same</u>.

Since these are isosceles triangles, the base angles are the same:

m∠R = m∠T = m∠A = m∠C

Therefore the congruency statement can be written two different ways.

ΔABC ≅ ΔRST

ΔABC ≅ ΔTSR

Both statements could be correct.

Choosing between B) and C):

To move ΔABC to where ΔRST or ΔTSR is, you could either:

i) Translate 6 units to the left, and translate 3 units down

ii) Reflect across the y-axis, and translate 3 units down

It can be the result of two translations or a reflection and a translation.

In the result, the base side RT is on the bottom of the shape, like side AC. If you rotated the shape, the base side would not be on the bottom. Therefore B) is incorrect.

There are 3 feet in 1 yard. This is equivalent to 12 feet in 4 yards. Which proportion can be used to represent this?
Troyanec [42]

Proportion which can be used to represent equivalency of 3 feet in 1 yard and 12 feet in 4 yard is 3 : 1 : : 12 : 4

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that

There are 3 feet in one yard  

And there are 12 feet in 4 yard  

Number of feet in one yard = 3 that is feet  : yard = 3 : 1  

Number of feet in 4 yards = 12 that is feet : yard = 12 : 4  

And 3 feet in 1 yard is equivalent to 12 feet in 4 yards means

\frac{3}{1}=\frac{12}{4}

That is 3 : 1 : : 12 : 4

A proportion is statement that two ratios are equal. It can be written in two ways: as two equal fractions a/b = c/d; or using a colon, a : b = c : d

Hence proportion which can be used to represent equivalency of 3 feet in 1 yard and 12 feet in 4 yard is 3 : 1 :: 12 : 4
