A. What Type Of Triangle Is Triangle ABC?b. Give Reasons For Your Answer

Answers

Answer 1

Since two of the angles are equal, hence the triangle ABC is isosceles triangle

What is a triangle?

A triangle is a  2D shape that has 3 sides and angles

From the given triangle

<CAB = 50 (alternate angle) and;

<ACB = 180 - (50 + 80)

<ACB = 180 -130

<ACB = 50 degrees

Since two of the angles are equal, hence the triangle ABC is isosceles triangle

Ali had 3 times as many marbles as cho does. After cho gives 4 marbles to Ali, Ali has 18 more marbles than cho does. How many more marbles does cho have in the beginning

a. 5
b. 9
c. 10
d. 15

Answers

Answer:

d. 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A and C be the initial number of marbles Ali and Cho have, respectively.

We are told that:

A = 3C  [Ali had 3 times as many marbles as cho does]

We then discover that  

C-4 = A-18   [After cho gives 4 marbles to Ali, Ali has 18 more marbles than cho does]

How many more marbles does cho have in the beginning?

We have 2 equations and 2 unknowns (A and C).  That means we can likely rearrange one of the equations and isolate one unknown on the left, and then use that in the second equation.

The first equation already has one of the unknowns isolated (A) so I'll use that in equation 2.

Eq. 1:   A = 3C

Eq. 2:  C-4 = A-18

Use the definition of A from Eq. 1 (=3C) to replace A in Eq. 2:

Eq. 2:  C-4 = A-18

          C-4 = (3C)-18    [Replace A with 3C, as promised in E1q. 1]

        -2C = -14

            C=7

If C = 7, then from Eq. 1,  A = 21

In the beginning, Ali has 21 marbles and Cho has 7.

Cho has 15 more marbles than Ali in the beginning.

A 210-N mass is suspended from a horizontal beam by two cables that make angles of 29 degrees and 53 degrees with the beam. Find, using vectors, the tension in the cables.

Answers

The tension in both cables are calculated as; T₁ = 127.63 N and T₂ = 185.48 N

How to find the Tension in Suspended Cables?

Resolving forces in the y direction gives us;

T₁ sin 29° + T₂ sin 53° = 210  ------(eq 1)

Resolving forces in the horizontal direction gives;

T₁ cos 29° = T₂ cos 53°   ----(eq 2)

T₁ = T₂ cos 53°/cos 29°

Thus;

(T₂ cos 53°/cos 29°)sin 29° + T₂ sin 53° = 210  

0.3336T₂ + 0.7986T₂ = 210

T₂ = 210/1.1322

T₂ = 185.48 N

Thus;

T₁ = 185.48 cos 53°/cos 29°

T₁ = 127.63 N

Anne is visiting a friend who lives 18.5 km away. She travels 10 km by train, 1.5 km by bus, and walks the rest of the way. If she walks at a rate of 3.5 km per hour, for how long will Anne walk

Answers

Anne will walk a distance of 7 km, and she takes 2 hours to walk that distance.

For how long will Anne walk?

The total distance is 18.5 km.

She travels 10km by train and 1.5km by bus, for a total of 11.5km.

The distance that she walks is given by:

18.5km - 11.5km = 7km

So she walks for a distance of 7 km, at a speed of 3.5km per hour.

Remember the relation:

distance = time*speed

That can be rewritten to:

time = distance/speed.

Then the time that she walks is given by:

T = (7 km)/(3.5 km/hour) = 2 hours

She walks for 2 hours.

Since they want the unit of volume to be cm^3, first we have to convert the values given from inch into cm
=> 12 in = 30.48cm
4 in = 10.16cm
14 in = 35.56cm
Since both of the figures are cylinders, we have to find them one by one
Find the volume of the upper cylinder
Formula: V = pi*r^2*h
We know, pi = 3,
radius = diameter of base/2
=> r = 30.48cm/2 = 15.24cm
height = 30.48cm
We get V=3*(15.24)^2*30.48=21237.6cm^3

Find the volume of lower cylinder
Formula: V = pi*r^2*h
We know, pi = 3,
radius = diameter of base/2
=> r = 35.56cm/2 = 17.78cm
height = 10.16cm
We get
V = 3*(17.78)^2*10.16 = 9635.6cm^3
Therefore, the volume of the object is
V = 21237.6cm^3 + 9635.6cm^3
= 30873.2cm^3.

Part of the proceeds from a garage sale was $540 worth of $5 and $20 bills If there were 3 more bills $5 bills than $20 bills, find the number of each denomination.

Answers

An equation is formed when two equal expressions. There are 21 $20 bills and 24 $5 bills.

What is an equation?

An equation is formed when two equal expressions are equated together with the help of an equal sign '='.

Let the number of $5 bills be x, while the number of $20 bills be y.

Given there were 3 more $5 bills than $20 bills. Therefore, this can be represented as

x = y + 3

Also, The total worth of the dominations is $540. Therefore, we can write,

5x + 20y = 540

Substitute the value of x form the first equation,

5x + 20y = 540

5(y+3) + 20y = 540

5y + 15 + 20y = 540

25y = 525

y = 21

Substitute the value of y in the first equation,

x = 21 + 3

x = 24

Hence, there are 21 $20 bills, and 24 $5 bills.

a−(−3.75)=6.11

What is a?

Answers

Answer:

a = 2.36

Step-by-step explanation:

a-(-3.75)=6.11

The negative 3.75 is being subtracted from the 'a'. A negative number being subtracted from another number makes it positive. So, 3.75 is actually being added to 'a' which is equal to 6.11

I re-wrote the question as:

a + 3.75 = 6.11

Subtract 3.75 from both sides to leave 'a' by itself

a + 3.75 = 6.11

What are the solutions of the equation (x 2)2 – 2(x 2) – 15 = 0? use u substitution to solve.

Answers

The solution of the equation is x=3 or x=-5.

Given that the equation is (x+2)²-2(x-+2)-15=0 and use u substitution method to solve.

Let's assume that the (x+2)=u.

The given equation is rewritten as u²-2u-15=0.

Factorize the quadratic equation by adding or subtracting two number that gives the sum of -2u and product 15u² as

u²-5u+3u-15=0

u(u-5)+3(u-5)=0

Taking out (u-5) as common and get

(u-5)(u+3)=0

Compare each equation with 0 and get

u-5=0 or u+3=0

u=5 or u=-3

Performing back substitution by substituting the values of u in x+2

when u=5 then x is

x+2=5

x=3

And when u=-3 then x is

x+2=-3

x=-5

Hence, the solutions of the (x+2)²-2(x-+2)-15=0 is x=3 and x=-5.
