Andre wanted to measure the width of a creek by his camp but cannot get to the other side of the creek. Andre decided to construct two triangles to determine the width of the creek indirectly. Sighting the position of a tree on the opposite bank of the creek and placing 4 wooden pegs at point N, O, P, and Q as shown in the figure, such that MN is perpendicular to NP, NP is perpendicular to PQ, and O is the midpoint of NP. Andre claims that triangle MNO and triangle QPO are congruent.

Part A: Provide a valid argument, using geometry theorems or postulates, to validate
Andre's claim that AMNO and APQO are congruent.

Part B: Which segment should Andre measure to determine the width of the creek? Explain why.

Answer:

It is y = 3/5x - 19/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes. Thus, the slope is 3/5x. Plug in -2 as x and solve for the intercept. It ii -19/5.

Answer: Two dice

Step-by-step explanation:

For the two dice, there are 5 possible: (6, 2);(5, 3);(4, 4);(3, 5);(2, 6)

So two dice, the probability is 5/36 = 30/216

For three dice, the number of favorable cases is 21

The probability is 21/216

So the two dice are more likely

The ordered pair that describes the location of Q' is (-3, -1)

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

Point Q = (3, -1)

This point can be represented as

(x, y) = (3, -1)

Also, from the question, we have the transformation to be:

Point Q is reflected over the y-axis

Mathematically, this can be expressed as

(x, y) = (-x, y)

So, we have the following representation

Point Q' = (-3, -1)

Hence, the image is (-3, -1)

Answer: 360 plants

Step-by-step explanation:

90% is equivalent to 0.90.
You multiply 0.90 and get your answer of 360.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(0, 2) (4, 0)

(0 - 2)/(4 - 0) = -2/4 = -1/2

y - 2 = -1/2(x - 0)

y - 2 = -1/2x + 0

y = -1/2x + 2

The linear equation on the graph shown is:

y = (2/3)*x + 4

We can see that we have a linear equation on the graph, remember that a general linear equation is:

y = a*x + b

Where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

On the graph, we can see that the line intercepts the y-axis at y = 4, then the y-intercept is b = 4

y = a*x + 4

To find the slope we can use another point on the line, for example, we can see that (-6, 0) is also on the line, replacing these values in the linear equation above we will get:

0 = a*-6 + 4

6a = 4

a = 4/6 = 2/3

Thus, the line is:

y = (2/3)*x + 4

The amount of simple interest is (a) $341.60

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

Principal, P = $800

Rate, r = 6.1 %

Time = 7 years

The simple interest on the investment is calculated as

I = PRT

Substitute the known values in the above equation, so, we have the following representation

I = 800 * 6.1% * 7

Express 6.1% as decimal

So, we have the following representation

I = 800 * 0.061 * 7

Evaluate the products

I = 341.6

The amount that Josephine will be paid is $644.30.

A percentage is a value or ratio that may be stated as a fraction of 100. If we need to calculate a percentage of a number, we should divide it's entirety and then multiply it by 100. The percentage therefore refers to a component per hundred.

In this situation, Josephine earns a salary of $560.00 per week, plus a commission of 10% on all sales and she sold $843 worth of goods.

The amount she'll be paid will be:

= $560 + (10% × $843)

= $560 + $84.3

After solving the given equation for c, we know that the value of c is (A) -56.

Equivalent systems refer to sets of equations with the same solution.

We can create an analogous system from a system of two equations by replacing one equation with the total of the two equations or by replacing an equation with a multiple of itself.

So, we have the equation:

-5 = 9+(c/4)

Now, solve for the subject c as follows:

-5 = 9+(c/4)

-5 -9 = (c/4)

-14 = c/4

c = -14*4

c = -56

Therefore, after solving the given equation for c, we know that the value of c is (A) -56.

The equation of the lines is,

2. (-8, 0); m = -4 :- y = -4x - 24

3. (-6, -10); m = 1/6 :- y = -1/6x - 9

An equation of the line is defined as a linear equation having a degree of one. The equation of the line contains two variables x and y. And the third parameter is the slope of the line which represents the elevation of the line.

The general form of the equation of the line:-

y = mx + c

m = slope

c = y-intercept

Slope = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

The equation of the lines will be,

y = mx + c

y = 3x + c

-1 = 4 x 3 + c

c = -13

y = 3x - 13

y = mx + c

y = -4x + c

0 = -4 x -8 + c

c = -24

y = -x -24

y = mx + c

y = 1/6x + c

-10 = -1 + c

c = -9

y = -1/6x - 9

Therefore, the equation of the lines is,y = 3x - 13 y = -4x - 24 and y = -1/6x - 9.

The time t = 3.4209 will it take for the concentration to reach 350,000 material per millimeter.

In an hour, there are 60 minutes. Divide the number of minutes by 60 to convert it to hours. For instance, 120/60=2 means that 2 hours are equal to 120 minutes.

The millimeter, abbreviated mm in the International System of Units (SI), or millimeter, abbreviated mm in the American spelling, is a unit of length that is one thousandth of a metre long, the SI base unit of length. As a result, a metre is made up of 1000 millimeters.

We are going to use formula

y = a * e ^ (b * t)

a and b are constants and t is for time.

Initially there are 100,000 bacteria, so;

100000 = a * e ^ (b * 0)

100000 = a * 1

a = 100000

given condition is that the concentration doubles every 3 hours so

300000 = a * e ^ (b * 3)

As a equals to 100,000

e ^ (b * 3) = 3

b * 3 = ln 3

b = (ln 3) / 3

b = 0.3662

now we have to find value of the time when concentration of bacteria reaches to 350,000:

350000 = 100000 * (e ^ 0.3662 * t)

3.5 = e ^ 0.3662* t

ln 3.5 = 0.3662* t

t = 1.2527 / 0.3662

t = 3.4209

That is the required value of time

Answer:

y = -8x + 23

Step-by-step explanation:

8y=x-16

we need to turn this into slope-intercept form by dividing 8 on both sides

y = x/8 - 2

to make a line perpendicular from another, we must make sure the slope is the negative reciprocal of the original line.

Right now, it's the same as the original. To make it a negative reciprocal, switch the places of the denominator and numerator and flip the signs

-8x is the negative reciprocal of x/8

Does it go through (4,-9)? No.

To make sure it goes through 4,-9, we change it's y-intercept.

Plug in the coordinate given (4,-9) in the y = -8x + b ( we removed -2 since it's not the right answer.

y = -8x + b

(-9) = -8(4) + b

-9 = -32 + b

-9 +32= -32 + b +32

23 = b

plug in b and we get our answer

y = -8x + 23

A graph of the given system of equations f(x) = 2x² - 8x + 3 and g(x) = -2x + 3 is shown in the image attached below.

The points that make both equations true is (0, 3)

In Mathematics, a graph can be defined as a type of chart that is typically used to graphically represent data points or ordered pairs on both the horizontal and vertical lines of a cartesian coordinate, which are the x-coordinate and y-coordinate respectively.

In Mathematics, the graph of every quadratic equations (functions) is either an upward or downward parabola, which is typically a u-shaped curve. This ultimately implies that, the graph of a quadratic equation (function) would always form a parabolic curve.

Based on the graph (see attachment), we can logically deduce that the solution to the given system of equations is the point of intersection of the lines on the graph representing each, which is the ordered pair (0, 3);

f(x) = 2x² - 8x + 3

3 = 2(0)² - 8(0) + 3

3 = 3 (True).

g(x) = -2x + 3

3 = -2(0) + 3
