Answers

Answer 1

What the area of the pre-image should be multiplied by to obtain the area of the image rectangle is; 4

How to interpret the scale of dilation?

The scale factor in the dilation of a mathematical object is one that determines how much larger or smaller the image will be when compared to the original image.

Now, the formula for area of a rectangle is;

A = LW

Where;

L is length

W is width

If the rectangle is dilated by a scale factor of 1/2, then it means that;

New length = ¹/₂L

New Width = ¹/₂W

New Area = ¹/₂L * ¹/₂W

= ¹/₄LW

Thus, to get the pre image are, we have;

Area of pre-image = 4 * Area of new image

; (ii)how many students study (a) only French (b) only one subject;(c) neither Arabic nor French.​

Answers

Answer:

(i) Attached below.  You can copy what I drew

(ii) (a) 35, (b) 60, (c) 5

Step-by-step explanation:

We're told that 25 students study Arabic only and 10 students' study both French and Arabic.  Thus, this leaves 40 other students, as 75 - (10 + 25) = 40.We know that 45 students study French and this includes those who study French only and those who study both French and Arabic.  Thus, we can subtract the number of students who study both languages from the number of students who study French (generally) to find the number of students who study French only:  45 - 10 = 35.  

(a) Thus, 35 students study French only.

Thus, we've sorted 70 students so far as 35 + 10 + 25 = 70.To find the number of students who studied neither Arabic nor French, we can subtract 70 from the total number of students in the class: 75 - 70 = 5.  

(c) Thus, 5 students' study neither Arabic nor French

We can check our work by making sure that:

the number of students who study French only + the number of students who study both French and Arabic + the number of students who study Arabic only + the number of students who study neither Arabic nor French equals 75:

35 + 10 + 25 + 5 = 75

45 + 30 = 75

75 = 75

Thus, our numbers are correct.

(b) Also, the number of students who study only subject is 60, as 35 (number of students studying French only) + 25 (number of students studying Arabic only) = 60

I attached a picture of a diagram that you can use and I'll explain what everything means:The box represents the set, which is represented by the letter S in the top-left corner of the pictureF represent the number of students who studied French only, which is why I wrote 35 in this circleThe 10 represents the number of students who study both Arabic and French and likes between the F circle and the A circle A represents the number of students who studied Arabic only, which is why I wrote 25 in this circleThe 5 outside the circles but inside the box represents the number of students who study neither Arabic nor French

16800 cubic inches of concrete is needed to make the stairs

How many cubic inches of concrete is needed to make the stairs?

Rectangular prism is a three dimensional shape which consist of six faces. The two faces are at the top and bottom and the other faces are lateral faces.

The given stairs can be divided into 3 rectangular prisms as shown in the image attached.

Volume of a concrete needed = Volume of A + Volume of B + Volume of C

Volume of a rectangular prism = l × w × h

where l is the length, w is the width and h is the height

For A:

l = 40, w = 10 in and h = 7 + 7 + 7 = 21 in  

For B:

l = 40, w = 10 in and h = 7 + 7 = 14 in

For C:

l = 40, w = 10 in and h = 7 in

Volume of a concrete needed = (40 * 10 * 21) * (40 * 10 * 14) + (40 * 10 * 7)

Volume of a concrete needed = 8400 + 5600 + 2800

Volume of a concrete needed = 16800 in³

The values of x that satisfy the equation 5x² + 4x - 4 = 0 can be determined using the quadratic formula given below:

x = (-b ± √(b² - 4ac)) / (2a)

The distance of the perpendicular from Q to line PR is D = 2.2135 units

Given data ,

Let the triangle be represented as ΔPQR

Now , the coordinates are P(1, 3), Q(5, 4) and R(5, 15)

And , the equation of line of PR is given by

Slope m = ( 15 - 3 ) / ( 5 - 1 )

m = 3

y - 3 = 3 ( x - 1 )

Adding 3 on both sides , we get

On Giana's map of Texas, there is a close up view of the Dallas/Fort Worth area. The map scale is 1 inch = 3.5 miles. From Garland to Mansfield is 52.5 miles. How far apart are these two cities on the map?

Answers

Answer:

The distance between Garland and Mansfield on the map is 15 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

On Giana's map of Texas, the scale is 1 inch = 3.5 miles. To determine the distance between Garland and Mansfield on the map, we can use the scale to find the corresponding measurement. Given that the actual distance between these two cities is 52.5 miles, we can set up a proportion:

1 inch / 3.5 miles = x inches / 52.5 miles

Cross-multiplying, we have:

3.5 miles * x inches = 1 inch * 52.5 miles

3.5x = 52.5

Dividing both sides by 3.5, we find:

x = 15

Find the surface area of the regular pyramid.

A square pyramid. The length of the base is 1 inch. The height of each triangular face is 2 inches.

Answers

Answer:

Love helping people so here's the answer :)

Step-by-step explanation:

A square pyramid has 5 faces: 1 square base and 4 triangular faces. The surface area of the pyramid is the sum of the areas of all its faces.

The area of the square base is 1 * 1 = 1 square inch.

The area of each triangular face is (1/2) * base * height = (1/2) * 1 * 2 = 1 square inch.

Since there are 4 triangular faces, the total area of the triangular faces is 4 * 1 = 4 square inches.

Therefore, the surface area of the pyramid is 1 + 4 = 5 square inches.

John wishes to choose a combination of two types of cereals for breakfast - Cereal A and Cereal B. A small box (one serving) of Cereal A costs $0.50 and contains 10 units of vitamins, 5 units of minerals, and 15 calories. A small box (one serving) of Cereal B costs $0.40 and contains 5 units of vitamins, 10 units of minerals, and 15 calories. John wants to buy enough boxes to have at least 500 units of vitamins, 600 units of minerals, and 1200 calories. How many boxes of each cereal should he buy to minimize his cost?

Answers

Let's assume that John buys x boxes of Cereal A and y boxes of Cereal B. Then, we can write the following system of inequalities based on the nutrient and calorie requirements:

10x + 5y ≥ 500 (minimum 500 units of vitamins)

5x + 10y ≥ 600 (minimum 600 units of minerals)

15x + 15y ≥ 1200 (minimum 1200 calories)

We want to minimize the cost, which is given by:

0.5x + 0.4y

This is a linear programming problem, which we can solve using a graphical method. First, we can rewrite the inequalities as equations:

10x + 5y = 500

5x + 10y = 600

15x + 15y = 1200

Then, we can plot these lines on a graph and shade the feasible region (i.e., the region that satisfies all three inequalities). The feasible region is the area below the lines and to the right of the y-axis.

Next, we can calculate the value of the cost function at each corner point of the feasible region:

Corner point A: (20, 40) -> Cost = 20

Corner point B: (40, 25) -> Cost = 25

Corner point C: (60, 0) -> Cost = 30

Therefore, the minimum cost is $20, which occurs when John buys 20 boxes of Cereal A and 40 boxes of Cereal B.

John received $200 dollars for his birthday. He went to Greenbriar Mail and purchased a pair of tennis shoes for $75.00. Then he went to the Cookie Store and bought $10.00 worth of cookies. Going to the car, John looked down and found $20.00 on the ground. How much money does John has now?

Test Prep What fraction is represented by the point on the number line?

Answers

The fraction represented by the point between 1 and 2 on the number line is 5/3.

If the point is between 1 and 2 on the number line, we can determine the fraction it represents by considering the distance between the point and the two adjacent integers.

The point A lies between the numbers 1 and 2, which indicates that the whole number part of the fraction is 1.

Also note that the segment between 1 and 2 is divided into 3 equal parts. A lies on the 2nd part, which implies that the fractional part is 2/3.

                              2

Thus, the point A corresponds to the mixed fraction 1 -

                                                                                     3

 2                             5

1 -  = (1*3)+2 / 3 =  -

For positive acute angles A and B, it is known that SinA= 11/61 and tan B=4/3. Find the value of Cos(A-B) in simplest form.

Answers

For positive acute angles A and B, if it is known that SinA= 11/61 and tan B=4/3, cos(A-B) = 224/305.

We can use the trigonometric identity cos(A-B) = cosA cosB + sinA sinB to find the value of cos(A-B).

First, we need to find the value of cosA and sinB:

Since sinA = opposite/hypotenuse, we can draw a right triangle with opposite side 11 and hypotenuse 61, and use the Pythagorean theorem to find the adjacent side:

cosA = adjacent/hypotenuse = √(61² - 11²)/61 = 60/61

Since tanB = opposite/adjacent, we can draw another right triangle with opposite side 4 and adjacent side 3, and use the Pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse:

hypotenuse = √(4² + 3²) = 5

sinB = opposite/hypotenuse = 4/5

Now we can substitute these values into the formula:

cos(A-B) = cosA cosB + sinA sinB

= (60/61)(3/5) + (11/61)(4/5)

= 180/305 + 44/305

What is a confidence interval of proportions?

A confidence interval of proportions has the bounds given by the rule presented as follows:

[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

In which the variables used to calculated these bounds are listed as follows:

[tex]\pi[/tex] is the sample proportion, which is also the estimate of the parameter.z is the critical value.n is the sample size.

The margin of error is given as follows:

[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

The confidence level is of 99%, hence the critical value z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]\frac{1+0.99}{2} = 0.995[/tex], so the critical value is z = 2.575.

As we have no estimate, the parameter is given as follows:

[tex]\pi = 0.5[/tex]

Then the sample size for M = 0.04 is obtained as follows:

[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.04 = 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.5(0.5)}{n}}[/tex]

At that time Puddleby was only quite a small town. A river ran through the middle of it; and over this river there was a very old stone bridge, called Kingsbridge, which led you from the market-place on one side to the churchyard on the other.Sailing-ships came up this river from the sea and anchored near the bridge. I used to go down and watch the sailors unloading the ships upon the river-wall. The sailors sang strange songs as they pulled upon the ropes; and I learned these songs by heart. And I would sit on the river-wall with my feet dangling over the water and sing with the men, pretending to myself that I too was a sailor.For I longed always to sail away with those brave ships when they turned their backs on Puddleby Church and went creeping down the river again, across the wide lonely marshes to the sea. I longed to go with them out into the world to seek my fortune in foreign landsAfrica, India, China and Peru! When they got round the bend in the river and the water was hidden from view, you could still see their huge brown sails towering over the roofs of the town, moving onward slowlylike some gentle giants that walked among the houses without noise. What strange things would they have seen, I wondered, when next they came back to anchor at Kingsbridge! And, dreaming of the lands I had never seen, I'd sit on there, watching till they were out of sight.Which element of the description of Puddleby is most significant to the plot of the story so far? That it had a marketplace and a cemetery That it had an old stone bridge named for a king That a river ran through the middle of it That it was quite small in size The economic development of a country is dependent on all of the following except Part 2 A. improving education.
