Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Now, what we know is that the total distance from the dormitory to the city is 1 if expressed in fraction. What we need to know is the fraction of the journey that is scheduled as the last part.

We can get this by subtracting the fractions of the first two phases from 1.

This goes as follows:

1 - (1/5) - (2/3) = 2/15

Now, we know that the final 8 kilometers constitute a fraction of just 2/5

Hence, we know that 2/15 of the total journey is 8 kilometers.

Let the total journey distance be T. This means that 2/15 of T is 8km

2/15 * T = 8km

T = ( 8 * 15 )/2 = 120/2 = 60km

bagirrra123 [75]
50-x^2=0
Move the x^2 to the other side
x^2=50
Now take the square root of both sides
x=+_(50)^1/2 (^1/2 means square root)(+_ is plus or minus. Sorry XD)
Now simplify the square root
X=+_5(2)^1/2
Voila. The answer is C

Polygons ABCD and EFGH are similar. Find the length of EH?
3241004551 [841]

Most likely, polygon <span>ABCD</span> has sides of known lengths.
It is also likely that one of the sides of polygon <span>EFGH</span> (not <span>EH</span>) is also known. For instance, its side <span>EF</span>.

If the above is true, we can find the scaling factor as a ratio between lengths of corresponding sides:
<span>r=<span><span>EF</span><span>AB</span></span></span>

Since this ratio is constant for any two corresponding lengths,
<span>r=<span><span>EH</span><span>AD</span></span></span>

From the last two equations we can derive:
<span>EH=AD⋅<span><span>EF</span><span>AB</span></span></span>

Lines e and f are parallel. The m9 = 80° and m5 = 55°. Which angle measures are correct? Check all that apply. m2 = 125° m3 = 55
Scorpion4ik [409]

I’ve answered this question before, so please see the attached image.

The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

 

1, 4, 5, 8 = 55<span>
2, 3 , 6, 7 = 125
9, 12, 13, 16 = 80
10, 11, 14 ,15 = 100</span>

<span>So, the angle measures that are correct are:

</span>

m12 = 100

m8 = 55

m14 = 100

<span>m16 = 80</span>
