3. In the diagram below of right triangle ACB, altituDB - 1

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: ACB, ACD and DCB are all right triangles. We can then represent the relationships of their legs through the Pythagorean theorem. 

For triangle ACB:
7^2=(AC)^2+(BC)^2     (1)

For triangle ACD:
(AC)^2=3^2+(CD)^2     (2)

For triangle DCB:
(BC)^2=(CD)^2+4^2     (3)

To make things simpler, we let
(AC)=x
(BC)=y
(CD)=z

Hence we have:
49=x^2+y^2     (1)
y^2=z^2+16     (2)
x^2=9+z^2       (3)

To solve for the unknown c, let us first substitute equation (2) in (1)
49=x^2+z^2+16
33=x^2+z^2     (4)

Then, we can substitute equation (3) in (4)
33=9+z^2+z^2
24=2z^2
z^2=12
z=2sqrt(3)

Thus, the length of z or (CD) is 2sqrt(3) in simplest radical form.

A. z = -42

B. z = -34

C. z = 30

D. z = 42

Answers

The answer is C because you; need to add instead of subtracting to get a positive number.
2 - z / 3 = 12

Multiply both sides by 3 :

3 * 2 - 3 * ( z / 3 )  = 3 * 12

Refine :

6 - z =  36

Subtract 6 from both sides:

6 - z  - 6 = 36 - 6

- z =  30

Divide both sides by - 1

- z / - 1 =   30 / - 1

z =  - 30

answer C

hope this helps!

A recipe for 8 servinfs of pudding clls for 2 cups of milk.How many gallons of milk are needed to make enough pudding for 64 servings

Answers

In order to solve this, we first need to know what the ratio of servings of pudding to cups of milk is. We can see that 8 servings of pudding requires 2 cups of milk, so the ratio is 8/2, which can be reduced to 4/1. This means that for every 4 servings of pudding, we will be adding 1 cup of milk. So all we need to do to find out how many cups would be needed for 64 servings of pudding, we simply need to divide by 4.

64 / 4 = 16

So for 64 servings of pudding, we will need 16 cups of milk. But that's not what the question wants to know, it wants to know how many gallons of milk it would need. 

In order to find that out, we have to know how many cups there are in one gallon. There are 2 cups in one pint, there are 2 pints in a quart, and there are 4 quarts in a gallon, so we just have to multiply those numbers, and we get 4 * 2 * 2 = 8 * 2 = 16

There are 16 cups in one gallon, therefore, 64 servings of pudding will require 1 gallon of milk.
Hope that helped! =)

What is the solution to the system of equations?O (-20, 10)
O (10,--20)
O (10,4)
O (4, 10)

Answers

The value of the solution to the system of equations are, (10, - 20)

What is an expression?

Mathematical expression is defined as the collection of the numbers variables and functions by using operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Given that;

System of equations are,

y = -5x + 30  .. (i)

x = 10

Now, We can find the solution as;

Plug x = 10 in equation (i);

y = - 5x + 30

y = - 5 × 10 + 30

y = - 50 + 30

y = - 20

Thus, The value of the solution to the system of equations are, (10, - 20)

The correct answer is (10,-20), because the equation already gives you the correct x value. Then, from there you just plug 10 in for x in the y equation. Giving you a -20, :)

0.4 greater or less than 0.41

Answers


0.4  is exactly  0.01  less than  0.41 .
0.40 is less than 0.41

Unless it is a trick question and 0.4 was rounded down from a larger number then this should be the correct answer.

You are planning to make and sell three different sizes if cylindrical candles. You buy 1 cubic foot of candle wax for $20 to make 8 candles of each size. a.)design the candles. What are the dimensions of each size of candle?

b) You want to make a profit of $100. Decide on a price for each size of candle.

c) Did you set the prices so that they are proportional to the volume of each size of candle? Why or why not?

Answers

a.) Since there are no restrictions as to the dimensions of the candle except that their volumes must equal 1 cubic foot and that each must be a cylinder, we have the freedom to decide the candles' dimensions. 

I decided to have the candles equal in volume. So, 1 cubic foot divided by 8 gives us 0.125 cubic foot, 216 in cubic inches.

With each candle having a volume of 216 cubic inches, I assign a radius to each: 0.5 in, 1.0 in, 1.5 in, 2.0 in, 2.5 in, 3.0 in, 3.5 in, and 4.0 in. Then, using the formula of the volume of a cylinder, which is:

V=pi(r^2)(h)

we then solve the corresponding height per candle. Let us let the value of pi be 3.14.

Hence, we will have the following heights (expressed to the nearest hundredths) for each of the radius: for 

r=2.5 in: h=11.01 in
r=3.0 in: h= 7.64 in
r=3.5 in: h= 5.62 in
r=4.0 in: h= 4.30 in
r=4.5 in: h= 3.40 in
r=5.0 in: h= 2.75 in
r=5.5 in: h= 2.27 in
r=6.0 in: h= 1.91 in

b. each candle should sell for $15.00 each

($20+$100)/8=$15.00

c. yes, because the candles are priced according to the volume of wax used to make them, which in this case, is just the same for all sizes


What is 4.45 repeating as a fraction.these are the choices:
A.4 227/500
B. 4 9/20
C. 4 5/11
D. 4 9/2

Answers


This would be so easy for you to solve, in about 3 minutes with a calculator.

A fraction means division ... (the top number) divided by (the bottom number).

Take the fraction part of each choice, do the division for each one,
and see which one gives you  0.4545... repeating.

A).  227/500  =  0.454     That's not 0.45 repeating.

B).  9/20  =  0.45             That's not 0.45 repeating.

C).  5/11  =  0.4545...      THAT's  0.4545... repeating !

D).  9/2  =  4.5                 That's not 0.45 repeating.
