Using the segment addition postulate find the length of the segment EF

Using The Segment Addition Postulate Find The Length Of The Segment EF

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm pretty sure the segment addition postulate just means that if you add JK and KL together, you'll get the length of JL. Correct me if I'm wrong...

Anyways, JK = 3x - 4, and KL = 5x + 6. If we add these together, according to the segment addition postulate, we will get JL, which equals 9x - 8. So, we set up an equation:

3x - 4 + 5x + 6 = 9x - 8

Simplifying this equation, we get:

8x + 2 = 9x - 8

x = 10

So, our answer is 10.

(also you ask for segment EF but I don't see segment EF so I'm going to just answer the question in the picture)

Answer: Yes, he has enough ribbon.

==================================================

Explanation:

The volume is 296 cm^3 and the height of the box is 8 cm

The area of the top is 296/8 = 37 cm^2. I'm using the idea that

volume of box = (area of base)*(height)

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

The area of the top is 37 cm^2. Apply the square root to get sqrt(37) = 6.08276 cm which is the approximate length of each side along the top. This only works if the top is a square.

Multiply this by 4 to get 4*6.08276 = 24.33104

The perimeter along the top is roughly 24.33 cm

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

The next task we have to do is convert from inches to centimeters

Multiply by 2.54 to do this.

24 & 1/4 inches = 24 + 1/4 = 24 + 0.25 = 24.25 inches

24.25 * 2.54 = 61.595 cm

The measurement 24 & 1/4 inches converts to about 61.595 cm

This means Adam has about 61.595 cm of ribbon

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

To recap, we found these two facts:

The perimeter of the top is about 24.33 cmAdam has roughly 61.595 cm of ribbon

Since the amount he has (61.595) exceeds the perimeter (24.33), this means he does have enough ribbon.

In fact, he has enough ribbon to do 2 boxes because 61.595/24.33 = 2.53 approximately and that rounds down to 2. We don't round to 3 even though we're closer to it.

Solve 1/x = 1/a + 1/b find x

Answers

Answer:

[tex]x=\frac{ab}{a+b}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Combine the two fractions on the right by using the common denominator ab.

[tex]\frac{1}{x}=\frac{b}{ab}+\frac{a}{ab}\\=\frac{b+a}{ab}[/tex]

If two quantities are equal, then their reciprocals are equal.

[tex]x=\frac{ab}{b+a}[/tex]

Answer:

x = [tex]\frac{ab}{b+a}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]\frac{1}{x}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{a}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{1}{b}[/tex]

Multiply through by abx ( the LCM of denominators ) to clear the fractions

ab = bx + ax ← factor out x from each term on the left side

ab = x(b + a) ← divide both sides by (b + a)

[tex]\frac{ab}{b+a}[/tex] = x

How to find the absolute value of |2x+3|=13

Answers

Answer:

x=5 or x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

|2x+3|=13

There are two solutions to this problem, one positive and one negative

2x+3 =13   and 2x+3 = -13

Subtract 3 from all sides

2x+3-3 = 13-3     2x+3-3 = -13-3

2x = 10                2x = -16

Divide each side by 2

2x/2=10/2           2x/2 = -16/2

x = 5                    x = -8

A particular brand of milk is sold in 1L and 2L bottles. If the shop owner orders 120L of milk and receives 97 bottles in total, calculate how many of each size the shop owner receives.

Answers

Answer:

74 1L bottles and 23 2L bottles

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use algebra to figure out the answer

let the 1L bottles be called m and the 2L bottles be called n

We know that:

(1) m+n = 97

and

(2) m+2n(2L bottles) = 120L

(2) - (1)

m+2n-m-n = 120-97

n = 23

and so

m = 74

Therefore, The shop owner receives 74 1L bottles and 23 2L bottles

A movie with an aspect ratio of 1.85:1 is shown as a letterboxed image on a newer 50-inch 16:9 television. Calculate the height of the image, the height of each barely visible black bar at the top and bottom of the screen, and the percent of the screen’s area that is occupied by the image. Use a variety of representations to justify your response.

Answers

The aspect ratio of a Television is the ratio of the width to the height of the television.

The height of image on the 50-inch television is 24.48 inchesThe height of each black bar is 23.52 inchesThe percentage of the screen area occupied is 96.08%

The size of a TV is calculated using Pythagoras theorem. Assume the length ratio of the new 50-inch 16:9 TV is x.

The ratio is represented as:

[tex]Width : Height = 16 : 9[/tex]

Using Pythagoras theorem, we have:

[tex](16x)^2 + (9x)^2 = 50^2[/tex]

[tex]256x^2 + 81x^2 = 2500[/tex]

[tex]337x^2 = 2500[/tex]

Divide both sides by 337

[tex]x^2 = 7.42[/tex]

Take square roots of both sides

[tex]x = \sqrt{7.42[/tex]

[tex]x = 2.72[/tex]

So, the width of the image is:

[tex]Width = 16x[/tex]

[tex]Width = 16 \times 2.72[/tex]

[tex]Width = 43.52[/tex]

The height of the image is then calculated as:

[tex]Height = 9x[/tex]

[tex]Height = 9 \times 2.72[/tex]

[tex]Height = 24.48[/tex]

The height of the image is 24.48 inches

The height of each black bar is calculated as follows:

[tex]Width : Height = 1.85 : 1[/tex]

Express as fraction

[tex]\frac{Height}{Width}= \frac{1}{1.85}[/tex]

Make Height the subject

[tex]Height = \frac{1}{1.85}\times Width[/tex]

Substitute [tex]Width = 43.52[/tex]

[tex]Height = \frac{1}{1.85}\times 43.52[/tex]

[tex]Height = 23.52[/tex]

The height of each black bar is 23.52 inches

Lastly, the percentage of the screen’s area that is occupied by the image

First, we calculate the area of the bars

[tex]A_1 = Height \times Width[/tex]

Where:

[tex]Height = 23.52[/tex] and [tex]Width = 43.52[/tex]

So:

[tex]A_1 = 23.52 \times 43.52[/tex]

[tex]A_1 = 1023.59[/tex]

Next, calculate the area of the 50-inch TV

[tex]A_2 = Height \times Width[/tex]

Where

[tex]Width = 43.52[/tex] and [tex]Height = 24.48[/tex]

So:

[tex]A_2 = 24.48 \times 43.52[/tex]

[tex]A_2 = 1065.37[/tex]

So, the percentage occupied on the screen area is:

[tex]\% Screen = \frac{A_1}{A_2} \times 100\%[/tex]

[tex]\% Screen = \frac{1023.59}{1065.37} \times 100\%[/tex]

[tex]\% Screen = \frac{102359}{1065.37} \%[/tex]

[tex]\% Screen = 96.08 \%[/tex]

Hence, the percentage of the screen area occupied is 96.08%

C.
x = 50; m∠COD = 20°
D.
x = 30; m∠COD = 80°

Answers

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

x=180-90-20-50=20

m∠COD=20+50=70

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

∠ AOB + ∠ BOC + ∠ COD = 180° ( AOD is a straight line ) , then

20 + 90 + x + 50 = 180 , that is

x + 160 = 180 ( subtract 160 from both sides )

x = 20

Then

∠ COD = x + 50 = 20 + 50 = 70°

Twenty-five percent of three dozen plants are blooming.
a. What fraction of the total number of plants are not blooming?
b. How many plants are not blooming?

Answers

Answer:

a. 3/4  b. 27

Step-by-step explanation:

We know 25% percent are blooming, since 100-25 = 75, 75% aren't blooming.

Since 1 / 4 = 0.25, 3/4 = 0.75, so for question a. 3/4 of the plants aren't blooming.

For question b, we know there are three dozen plants, which is 3 * 12 = 36 plants.

75% of 36 = 36 * 0.75 = 27 plants aren't blooming.

What is the sum of a rational number but a product of an irrational one.

Answers

I'm going to only focus on part B

If 'a' and 'b' are rational numbers, then

a = p/qb = r/s

where p,q,r,s are integers. Also, q and s are nonzero. In fact, this context would make sense to also have p and r to be nonzero as well.

The perimeter of this rectangle is

P = 2*(length+width)

P = 2*(a+b)

P = 2*(p/q + r/s)

P = 2*(ps/qs + qr/qs)

P = 2*( (ps+qr)/qs )

P = (2ps+2qr)/qs

P = integer/integer = some rational number

We see that the perimeter P is rational if and only if 'a' and 'b' are rational.

From this, notice that the area is

area = length*width = a*b = (p/q)*(r/s) = (pr)/(qs)

Showing that the area is also rational.

If we wanted the area to be irrational, then we'd have to have either 'a' and/or 'b' irrational; this would then make the perimeter irrational as well. This contradiction is sufficient to show that case B is not possible.

There is no way to have a rational perimeter but an irrational area.
