Need help (problem and directions in the image):
Triangle ABC is congruent to triangle CDE using the side - angle - side congruence theorem. The sink hole is 52.2 ft and the Perimeter of ABC is 172.2 ft
What are congruent triangles?Two triangles are said to be congruent if they have the same shape and their corresponding sides are congruent.
In the image shown:
AC = CE, BC = ED and they have the same angle (opposite angles are congruent).
Hence:
Triangle ABC is congruent to triangle CDE using the side - angle - side congruence theorem.
AB = DE = 52.2 ft
Perimeter of ABC = AB + BC + AC = 50 + 70 + 52.2 = 172.2 ft

3. Find the point of intersection of the graphs for each system. a) x - y = 1 and 3x - y = -1
Answer:
the point of intersection is (-1 , -2)
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\begin{cases}x-y=1&(1)\\ 3x-y=-1&(2)\end{cases}[/tex]
(2) - (1) ⇒ (3x - y) - (x - y) = (-1) - 1
⇒ 3x - y - x + y = -2
⇒ 3x - x = -2
⇒ 2x = -2
⇒ x = -1
……………………………
Now ,we can determine the value of y
by substituting x by its value -1 in the first equation (1) :
(1) x - y = 1 ⇒-1 - y = 1 ⇒ -y = 2 ⇒ y = -2
========================
Conclusion:
x = -1
y = -2
Then ,the point of intersection of the graphs is (-1 , -2)
Hello !
[tex]\begin{cases} x - y &=1 \\ 3x-y &= - 1 \end{cases} \\\Leftrightarrow \begin{cases} x =y + 1 \\ 3x-y = - 1 \: \: \: \: \: (a)\end{cases} [/tex]
We replace x by y+1 in (a) :
[tex]3(y + 1) - y = - 1 \\ 3y + 3 - y = - 1 \\ 2y = - 4 \\ y = \frac{ - 4}{2} = - 2[/tex]
Now we replace x by -1 in the first equation.
[tex]x + 2 = 1 \\ x = -1[/tex]
The point of intersection is (-1;-2).

Answer:
∠ C = 26°
Step-by-step explanation:
the sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180° , that is
∠ A + ∠ B + ∠ C = 180°
120° + 34° + ∠ C = 180°
154° + ∠ C = 180° ( subtract 154° from both sides )
∠ C = 26°
To babysit one child, Fernando charges $10 to drive to the appointment plus $4 per hour. He saves 30% of the total amount he earns. Brenna charges $6 per hour and saves 25% of the total amount she earns. Which equation can be used to determine the number of hours, h, after which Fernando and Brenna will have saved the same amount of money?
a 10 + 0.3(4h) = 0.25(6h)
b 0.3(10) + 4h = 0.25(6h)
c 0.3(10 + 4h) = 0.25(6h)
d 0.3(14h) = 0.25(6h)
Th equation that can be used to determine when they would have saved the same amount is 0.3(10 + 4h) = 0.25(6h).
When would they have saved the same amount?
The equation that can be used to determine the amount saved by Fernando is:
total amount saved = percentage saved x (amount charged to drive to the appointment + total amount earned)
0.3( $10 + $4h)
The equation that can be used to determine the amount saved by Brenna is:
percentage saved x total amount earned
0.25h
When they save the amount amount, the two above equations would be equal: 0.3(10 + 4h) = 0.25(6h).

Answer:
a) 5.7%
b) 45.8%
c) 6.4%
d) 47.6%
Step-by-step explanation:
remember, we find percentage as:
specific / total
(ex. if we have 2 dogs and 2 cats, and we want to find what percentage of total animals are dogs, we divide 2/4 to get 0.5, or 50%)
percentage of female students who prefer sci-fi
here, we know we have 106 female students (total: 106)
and we have 6 of those students who prefer sci-fi (specific: 6)
6 / 106 = 0.05660..
which we can round to: 0.0566
So, the first percentage is 5.66%
(5.7%)
percentage of students who prefer comedies that are male
we have 118 students who prefer comedies (total: 118)
and 54 of those students that are male (specific: 54)
54 / 118 = 0.4576...
which we can round to 0.4576
So, the second percentage is 45.76%
(45.8%)
percentage of male students who prefer dramas
we have 94 male students (total: 94)
and 6 who prefer dramas (specific: 6)
6 / 94 = 0.0638298...
which we can round to 0.0638
So, the third percentage is 6.38%
(6.4%)
percentage of students who prefer action movies that are female
we have 42 students who prefer action movies (total: 42)
and 20 of those who are female (specific: 20)
20 / 42 = 0.47619..
which we can round to 0.4762
So, the fourth percentage is 47.62%

p value of -0.2741 =0.39358
0.39358
0.39358<0.90
so we reject the null hypothesis.
Which means that the true mean is different from 700m.
Confidence level=X±z*s/[tex]\sqrt{n}[/tex]
Upper level=700 +1.96*104.98/[tex]\sqrt{18}[/tex]
=700+48.52
=748.52.
Lower level=700-1.96*104.98[tex]\sqrt{18}[/tex]
=700-48.52
=651.48
Hence the confidence interval is (651.48,748.52).

Determine the vertex of the quadratic relation y=2(x+2)(x-6).
Answer:
V = (2,-32)
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
The vertex of a quadratic lies on the Axis of Symmetry (AOS). The axis of symmetry is exactly in the middle of the roots of the Quadratic. We can solve for the AOS by finding the average of the two roots.
Rootsy = 2(x + 2)(x - 6)0 = 2(x + 2)(x - 6)0 = (x + 2)(x - 6)0 = x + 2: x = -20 = x - 6: x = 6The two roots of the quadratic are 6 and -2.
Solve for the AOS[tex]AOS = \frac{r_1 + r_2}{2}[/tex][tex]AOS = \frac{6-2}{2}[/tex][tex]AOS = \frac42[/tex][tex]AOS = 2[/tex]The Axis of symmetry of the quadratic is 2.
VertexSince the vertex lies on the AOS, we know the x-value of the vertex. We can solve for the y-value by plugging in the value of the AOS in the equation.
Find the Vertex
y = 2(x + 2)(x - 6)y = 2(2 + 2)(2 - 6)y = 2(4)(-4)y = 2(-16)y = -32The Vertex of the quadratic is at (2,-32).
Name two monomials with a quotient of 12
What is the center of MN given M(3, -1) and N(7,-5)
Answer:
(5, -3)
Step-by-step explanation:
So the center of the two points, or a line can be defined using the equation: [tex]midpoint=(\frac{x_2+x_1}{2}, \frac{y_2+y_1}{2})[/tex]. So using the two points you gave, you simply plug the values in to get
[tex]midpoint=(\frac{3+7}{2}, \frac{-1+(-5)}{2})\\[/tex]
Add numerators:
[tex]midpoint=(\frac{10}{2}, \frac{-6}{2})[/tex]
Simplify fraction:
[tex]midpoint=(5, -3)[/tex]
