Answer:

Area of ΔQRS = 2.3 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information,

<S + <Q + <R = [tex]180^{o}[/tex]

51 + 44 + <R = [tex]180^{o}[/tex]

95 + <R = [tex]180^{o}[/tex]

<R = [tex]180^{o}[/tex] - 95

    = [tex]85^{o}[/tex]

<R = [tex]85^{o}[/tex]

Applying the Sine rule, we have;

[tex]\frac{q}{SinQ}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{r}{SinR}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{s}{SinS}[/tex]

Using [tex]\frac{r}{SinR}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{s}{SinS}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{r}{Sin 85}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2.3}{Sin51}[/tex]

r = [tex]\frac{2.3*Sin85}{sin51}[/tex]

  = 2.9483

r = 2.9 inches

Also, [tex]\frac{q}{SinQ}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{s}{SinS}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{q}{Sin44}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2.3}{Sin51}[/tex]

q = [tex]\frac{2.3*Sin44}{Sin51}[/tex]

  = 2.0559

q = 2.0 inches

From Herons formula,

Area of a triangle = [tex]\sqrt{s(s-q)(s-r)(s-s)}[/tex]

s = [tex]\frac{2.3 + 2.0 + 2.9}{2}[/tex]

  = 3.6

Area of ΔQRS = [tex]\sqrt{3.6(3.6-2.0(3.6-2.9)(3.6-2.3)}[/tex]

                        = 2.2895

Area of ΔQRS = 2.3 square inches

First, calculate exponents.

-3 * -3 is 9.

Then multiply 2 and 9 which is 18.

3-18 is -15.

Answer:

320

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Estimate the answer by rounding .

Step 2: If the divisor is not a whole number, then move the decimal place in places to the right to make it a whole number.

Step 3: Divide as usual.

Step 4: Put the decimal point in the quotient directly above where the decimal point now is in the dividend.

Answer:  320 is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this questions is simple, you can see it as a long division question or regular division

Regular division:

16 ÷ 0.05 = 1600  

(You can transform this into a simple non-decimal question and solve easliy)

1600 ÷ 5 = 320

This is the way to solve these type of questions without straining your brain in the process.

Answer:

15:35??

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 20 + 15 = 35

2. 35 + 10= 45

3. 45 + 25 = 70 =  1 hour and 10 minutes

4. 95 mins = 1 hour and 45 minutes

5. 1 hour and 10 mins + 1 hour and 45 minutes = 2 hours and 55 minutes

Answer:

The answer is false. 2 is not congruent to 5.

Honestly, someone has a different answer but they have a whole paragraph so I think you should listen to what they say.

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Same-side exterior angle converse theorem states that if two lines are intersected by a transversal and the same-side exterior angle are congruent, then the two lines are parallel. One can apply this theorem to the given case, and thus lines A and B are parallel.

Answer:

[tex]P(50 < x < 150) =0.3834[/tex]

[tex]P(x = 100) =0.0074[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]f(x) = \left \{ {{\frac{1}{100}e^{-x/100}\ x\ge 0} \atop {0\ x<0}} \right.[/tex]

Solving (a): Probability that it will function between 50 and 150 hr before it breaks down

This is represented as:

[tex]P(50 < x < 150) = \int\limits^{150}_{50} {f(x)} \, dx[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]P(50 < x < 150) = \int\limits^{150}_{50} {\frac{1}{100}e^{-x/100}} \, dx[/tex]

Integrate:

[tex]P(50 < x < 150) =- e^{-x/100}|\limits^{150}_{50}[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]P(50 < x < 150) =- e^{-150/100} - - e^{-50/100}[/tex]

[tex]P(50 < x < 150) =- e^{-150/100} + e^{-50/100}[/tex]

[tex]P(50 < x < 150) =- e^{-1.5} + e^{-0.5}[/tex]

[tex]P(50 < x < 150) =- 0.2231 + 0.6065[/tex]

[tex]P(50 < x < 150) =0.3834[/tex]

Solving (a): Probability that it will function exactly 100 hr before it breaks down

This is represented as:

[tex]P(x= 100)[/tex]

This can be rewritten as:

[tex]P(x= 100) = P(99<x<101)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]P(99 < x < 101) = \int\limits^{101}_{99} {f(x)} \, dx[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]P(99 < x < 101) = \int\limits^{101}_{99} {\frac{1}{100}e^{-x/100}} \, dx[/tex]

Integrate:

[tex]P(99 < x < 101) =- e^{-x/100}|\limits^{101}_{99}[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]P(99 < x < 101) =- e^{-101/100} - - e^{-99/100}[/tex]

[tex]P(99 < x < 101) =- e^{-101/100} + e^{-99/100}[/tex]

[tex]P(99 < x < 101) =- e^{-1.01} + e^{-0.99}[/tex]

[tex]P(99 < x < 101) =- 0.3642 + 0.3716[/tex]

[tex]P(99 < x < 101) =0.0074[/tex]

Hence:

[tex]P(x = 100) =P(99 < x < 101) =0.0074[/tex]

Answer:$2.81

Step-by-step explanation:

1.25 is 100% of the price

125% + 100% = 225%

x = price by august

x = 225% (1.25)

225% = 2.25

2.25(1.25) = 2.8125 ≈ $2.81

Another way to see it:

=

225(1.25) / 100 = 2.8125

69.82 i think

Step-by-step explanation:

First the area of a rectangle is bh, so 5 times 12 is 60. Then you have a semicircle which is half a circle, so it would be pi(radius)squared divided by 2. The diameter is 5 because it's five on the other side and rectangles have opposite sides congruent. Radius is 2.5 after dividing diameter by 2. 2.5 pi r squared is like 19.634 blah blah blah. Divide that by two and add 60 to get 69.82.

Answer:

We cannot agree with Andre because x = 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the diagram is a weighing scale which can also be represented as an equation having two sides that is balanced. We can express the situation as follows using equation:

x + 2 = 5

Solve for x

x + 2 - 2 = 5 - 2 (subtraction property of equality)

x = 3

If you plug in the value of x on the diagram given, the scale becomes balance on each side.

Therefore, x = 3. Andre is wrong and we cannot agree with Andre.

Given:

The point is U'(-8,1).

It is translated along <2,0> and reflected across the x-axis.

To find:

The image of U'.

Solution:

The given point is U'(-8,1).

It is translated along <2,0> . So, the rule of translation is:

[tex](x,y)\to (x+2,y+0)[/tex]

[tex]U'(-8,1)\to U_1(-8+2,1+0)[/tex]

[tex]U'(-8,1)\to U_1(-6,1)[/tex]

Then, it is reflected across the x-axis. So, the rule of reflection is:

[tex](x,y)\to (x,-y)[/tex]

[tex]U_1(-6,1)\to U''(-6,-1)[/tex]

The image of U'( -8 , 1) is U''(-6,-1).

Therefore, the correct option is A.

Answer:

80

explanation:

100% means that its the whole of something so all of the said number

Answer:

In converting to percentage we multiply by 100%

100% of 80 =

80/100 x 100%

0.8 x 100 = 80

NB the 100% of any number is the number itself
