Answer 2

If you have to make AB perpendicular to CD, rotate AB clockwise, until and unless both the lines intersect at 90 degrees.

What are angles? What is a mathematical function, equation and expression?  

Angles : the space (usually measured in degrees) between two intersecting lines or surfaces at or close to the point where they meet.   

Function : In mathematics, a function from a set X to a set Y assigns to each element of X exactly one element of Y. The set X is called the domain of the function and the set Y is called the codomain of the function

Expression : A mathematical expression is made up of terms (constants and variables) separated by mathematical operators

Equation : A mathematical equation is used to equate two expressions.

Given is that as you move point B, the angle formed between AB and CD varies.

If you have to make AB perpendicular to CD, rotate AB clockwise, such that the point B moves in clockwise direction, until and unless both the lines intersect at 90 degrees.

Therefore, if you have to make AB perpendicular to CD, rotate AB clockwise, until and unless both the lines intersect at 90 degrees.

Hector and Evelyn are solving the following problem. Find x,y, and z in this 45-45-90 triangle.

Answers

Answer: A. They are both incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

x=3√2

y=6

z=3√2

-----------------------

45-45-90=1:1:√2

solve for x

x is the side accordingly to 90 in the smaller triangle, so it should be the [45] side times √2

3×√2=3√2

-----------------------

solve for y

y is the side accordingly to 90, so it should be the [45] side times √2

3√2×√2=6

----------------------

solve for z

z is the side accordingly to 45 in the bigger triangle, x is also accordingly to 45 in the bigger triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

Write the equation of the line perpendicular to x+2y=6 that passes through (5, 8).

Answers

Answer:

y = 2x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the slope of the line

x+2y=6

2y = -x+6

y = -1/2x +3

This is in slope intercept form ( y = mx+b) so -1/2 is the slope

We want a line that is perpendicular so take the negative reciprocal of the slope

- ( 1/ (-1/2)) = 2

The slope of the perpendicular line is 2

y = 2x+b

Substitute the point into the equation

8 = 2(5) +b

8 = 10+b

-2 =b

The equation of the line perpendicular is

y = 2x-2

Answer:

y = 2x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 2y = 6 can be solved for y (and thus for slope m) as follows:

    2y = -x + 6, or y = (-1/2)x + 3.  

Any new line perpendicular to this one has a slope that is the negative reciprocal of (-1/2); that would be +2.

Starting from y = mx + b,

Replace x with the given 5, y with the given 8 and m with the calculated +2:

8 = 2(5) + b, or

b = -2

and then the desired equation is

y = 2x - 2

much will the sweater cost?
a) $14.08
O b) $12.24
O c) $16.52
O d) $15.30

Answers

Answer:

Hey there!

The sweater is selling for 85% of the original price

0.85(18)=15.30

1.08(15.30)=16.52

Let me know if this helps :)

The solution is Option C.

The total cost of the sweater is $ 16.52

What is an Equation?

Equations are mathematical statements with two algebraic expressions flanking the equals (=) sign on either side.

It demonstrates the equality of the relationship between the expressions printed on the left and right sides.

Coefficients, variables, operators, constants, terms, expressions, and the equal to sign are some of the components of an equation. The "=" sign and terms on both sides must always be present when writing an equation.

Given data ,

Let the original cost of the sweater be = $ 18

Let the sales tax percentage be = 8 %

Let the discount of the sweater be = 15 %

So , the equation for the total cost of the sweater is

The cost of the sweater after discount of 15 % is = original cost of the sweater - discount of the sweater x original cost

The cost of the sweater after discount of 15 % is = 18 - ( 15/100 ) x 18

                                                                                = 18 - 0.15 x 18

                                                                                = 18 - 2.7

                                                                                = $ 15.3

Now , the cost of the sweater after sales tax of 8 % is = cost of the sweater after discount + sales tax percentage x cost of the sweater after discount

So , the equation is

The cost of the sweater after sales tax of 8 % is = 15.3 + ( 8/100 ) x 15.3

                                                                                = 15.3 + 0.08 x 15.3

                                                                                = 15.3 + 1.224

                                                                                = $ 16.524

Hence , the total cost of the sweater is $ 16.52

John has a box of nails. The box contains 65 small nails, 40 medium nails, and 45 large nails. Susan has a box of nails that has the same proportion of small, medium, and large nails as John's box. There are 176 medium nails in Susan's box. What is the total number of nails in Susan's box? ​

Answers

Answer:

The total number of nails in Susan's box is 660 nails

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The number of small nails in John's box = 65

The number of medium nails in John's box = 40

The number of large nails in John's box = 45

The number of medium nails in Susan's box = 176

The ratio of the nails in John's box  is given as follows;

The ratio of small nails in John's box = 65/(65 + 40 + 45) = 13/30

The ratio of medium nails in John's box = 40/(65 + 40 + 45) = 4/15 = 8/30

The ratio of large nails  in John's box = 45/(65 + 40 + 45) = 3/10 = 9/30

Given that the proportion of the nails in John's box and Susan's box are the same, we have;

The ratio of medium nails in Susan's box =  8/30

Therefore;

Where the total number of nails in Susan's box = X, we have;

8/30 × X = 176

X = 176 × 30/8 = 660 nails

The total number of nails in Susan's box = 660 nails.

Using proportions, it is found that the total number of nails in Susan's box was 660.

---------------

John had 65 + 40 + 45 = 150 nails.The proportion of medium nails is: [tex]\frac{40}{150}[/tex]Susan's box has x nails.Of those nails, 176 are medium. Thus, the proportion of medium nails out of the total in Susan's box is of: [tex]\frac[176}{x}[/tex]

---------------

Since the proportions are equal:

[tex]\frac{40}{150} = \frac{176}{x}[/tex]

[tex]40x = 150\times176[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{150\times176}{40}[/tex]

[tex]x = 660[/tex]

The total number of nails in Susan's box was 660.

Answers

Answer:

This is incomplete, but i will answer it in a general way.

A function is something like y = f(x)

You can think in a function like a "machine", that eats an input (x) and transforms it into an output (y).

The functions have a rule: For all the possible inputs, the function can transform them into only one output.

This means that if we have for an input x1.

f(x1) = y1 and f(x1) = y2

So f(x) maps x1 into two different values, y1 and y2, then this is not a function.

Now, you want to change the point (1, 4) of a relationship in order to transform it into a function (so in the relation R we have two points with x = 1, and differet values of y). Then you need to choose the option that in the x-component does not have the same value that one of the other data points of the relation.

A church spire casts a shadow on the level ground. At the tip of the shadow, the tip of the spire lies 25° upward. Walking 100 m closer, the tip of the spire is at an angle of 55°. What must be the height of the spire in Figure 2?

Answers

Answer:

The height of the spire must be 69.24 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The information given are;

The initial angle of elevation of the tip of the spire from the tip of the shadow = 25°

The  angle of elevation of the tip of the spire from the tip of the shadow after moving 100 m closer = 55°

The change distance moved closer to the church spire = 100 m

Let the base angles of the triangle formed by the two rays of the tip of the spire to the tip of the shadow be 25° and ∠x°

We have;

∠x° and the 55° angle of the ray from the tip of the spire to the tip of the shadow are supplementary angles (angle on a straight line)

Therefore;

∠x° = 180° - 55° = 125°

The calculated angle 125° above, the given 25° and the angle in between the two rays from the tip of the spire to the tip of the shadows are the interior angles of the triangle formed by the two rays of the tip of the spire to the tip of the shadow

Let the angle in between the two rays from the tip of the spire to the tip of the shadows = y

Therefore;

125° + y° + 25° = 180 (Angle sum theorem)

y° = 180° - (125° + 25°) = 30°

By sin rule, we have;

100/(sin (30°)) = (The length of the initial ray from the tip of the spire to the tip of the shadow before the shift)/(sin(125°))

Let the length of the initial ray from the tip of the spire to the tip of the shadow before the shift = l

100/(sin (30°)) = l/(sin(125°))

l = (sin(125°))×100/(sin (30°)) = 163.83 m

The height of the spire, by trigonometric ratio = sin(25°) × 163.83 m = 69.24 m

The height of the spire = 69.24 m.

ii) Q=5*7=35 if P=5 =>Q=35

iii) P=42/7=6   if Q=42 => P=6
