Steve made a sign for his room that is shaped like a triangle. It is 4.5 feet long and 3 feet high. He wants to make another sign that is shaped like a triangle and similar to the first sign. The new sign will be 4 feet high.

Part A

Write a proportion that Steve can use to find the length, x, of the new sign.

Part B

What is the length, in feet, of the new sign? Make sure to show your work and explain your reasoning.

Answers

Answer: PART A : [tex]\frac{4.4}{x}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

PART B : 5.9 FEET

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the first sign = 4.4 feet

height of the first sign = 3 feet

Length of the second sign = x feet

height of the second sign = 4 feet

If two shapes are similar , then the ratio of their sides are equal,

That is ;

[tex]\frac{h_{1}}{h_{2} }[/tex] = [tex]\frac{L_{1}}{L_{2} }[/tex]

PART A

[tex]\frac{4.4}{x}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

PART B

[tex]\frac{4.4}{x}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

cross multiplying , we have

3x = 4.4 x 4

3x = 17.6

Divide through by 3

x = 17.6/3

x = 5.86666666666667

x≈ 5.9 feet

Therefore , the length of the new sign is 5.9 feet

(02.03) The table below shows two equations: Equation 1 |3x − 1| + 7 = 2 Equation 2 |2x + 1| + 4 = 3 Which statement is true about the solution to the two equations? Equation 1 and equation 2 have no solutions.

Answers

Answer:

We can say that equations 1 and 2 have no solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation 1 is |3x − 1| + 7 = 2 ........ (1)

|3x − 1| = - 5

This equation is invalid as the absolute value of (3x - 1) will always be positive and here it is - 5.

Therefore, this above equation has no solution.

The equation 2 is |2x + 1| + 4 = 3 ........ (2)

⇒ |2x + 1| = - 1

This equation is invalid as the absolute value of (2x + 1) will always be positive and here it is - 1.

Therefore, this above equation has no solution.

Hence, we can say that equations 1 and 2 have no solutions. (Answer)

The width of a rectangle is seven meters less than the length. The perimeter is 58 meters. Find the length and width.

Answers

Length = x
Width = x - 7
Perimeter = 2* length + 2* width
58 = 2x + 2(x - 7)
58 = 2x + 2x - 14
4x = 58 + 14
4x = 72
x = 18

Length = 18 inches
Width = 11 inches.

Hope this helps.
:)

The length of rectangle will be 18 meters and width of rectangle will be 11 meters.

It is given that width of a rectangle is seven meters less than the length.

If perimeter of rectangle is 58 meters then find the value of length and width.

What are the area and perimeter of a rectangle ?

The area of rectangle is A = L × B and the perimeter is 2 ( L + B ) , where ; L = length and B = width.

Let's assume the length of the rectangle is x.

The width of the rectangle will be ;

= x - 7

Also ; the perimeter of triangle is given which is equal to 58 meters.

We know that ; the perimeter of triangle is given by ;

Perimeter = 2 × ( length + width )

So ;

58 = 2 [ x + (x - 7)]

58 = 2 ( 2x - 7 )

58 = 4x - 14

or

4x = 58 + 14

4x = 72

x = 72 ÷ 4

x = 18 meters

So ;

Length = 18 meters

and

Width = 18 -7 = 11 meters

Thus , the length of rectangle will be 18 meters and width of rectangle will be 11 meters.

Prove ∠H≅∠J

we know that

The Angle-Side-Angle postulate (ASA) states that if two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the included side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent,

we have

∠HIG≅∠JKI ----> given problem

∠HGI≅∠JIK ----> by corresponding angles (HG and JI are parallel lines)

GI≅IK ----> given problem

so

two angles and the included side of triangle HIG are congruent to two angles and the included side of triangle JKI

therefore

triangle HIG ≅ triangle JKI ---> by ASA postulate

Remember that

If two figures are congruent, then its corresponding sides and corresponding angles are congruent

Hence

∠H≅∠J ----> by definition of congruence (corresponding angles are congruent)

please what is the derivative of y=cos(^7)base x​

Answers

The derivative of y=cos(^7)base x is

Dydx = (cos(7x))x⋅(ln(cos(7x))−7x(tan(7x)))

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1 :

y= (cos(7x))x

Take the natural logarithm of either side, bringing the t x down to be the coefficient of the right hand side we get the answer:

step 2 :

ln y = xln (cos (7x))

Differentiate each side with respect to x. The rule of implicit differentiation: ddx (f(y)) = f'(y) ⋅ dydx

step 3 :

∴1y ⋅ dydx  = ddx (x) ⋅ln (cos(7x)) + ddx (ln (cos(7x)))⋅x

Use the chain rule for natural logarithm functions – ddx ( ln (f(x)) )= f'(x)f(x) - we can differentiate the ln (cos (7x))

step 4 :

Ddx (ln (cos(7x))) = −7xsin (7x) cos( 7x 7tan (7x)

Returning to the original equation:

1y ⋅dydx = ln (cos(7x))−7xtan(7x)

Substitute the original y as a function of x value from the start back in.

Dydx = (cos(7x))x⋅(ln(cos(7x))−7x(tan(7x)))

Step-by-step explanation:

those are the only way

Final answer:

The number 46 can be expressed as 4 tens and 6 ones, representing the value 40 plus 6, utilizing the powers of ten place value system.

Explanation:

When expressing the number 46 in terms of tens and ones, we use the place value system which is based on powers of ten.

In this system, each place in the number represents a power of 10.

To represent 46 as tens and ones, we look for the highest power of ten that fits into the number without exceeding it.

In the case of 46, that value is 40, because 4 tens (4 x 10) equal 40, and there are 6 ones left over.

Therefore, we can say that 46 consists of 4 tens and 6 ones. This can be shown visually as:

Answer:

grapes cost $1.25 per pound

blueberries cost $4 per pound

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two unknowns, the cost of grapes and the cost of blueberries.

I'll call grape g and blueberries b.

since 21lb grapes and 44lb of blueberry cost $202.25, we can set up our first equation.

21g + 44b = 202.25

and the question also said 30lb grape and 22lb blueberries cost $125.50, we can set up our second equation.

30g + 22b = 125.5

now that we have two equations, you can use any methods you want to solve for the variable. I'm gonna use elimination.

    21g + 44b  = 202.25

-2(30g + 22b = 125.50)

━━━━━━━━━━

-39g = -48.75

    g = 48.75/39

    g = 1.25,     grapes cost $1.25 per pound

now use substitution to find the cost of blueberries. you know the value of g now so plug it back in to one of the equation.

21g + 44b  = 202.25

21(1.25) + 44b  = 202.25

26.25 + 44b = 202.25

44b = 176

b = 4      , blueberries cost $4 per pound

Kenny wants to place a picture frame in the center of a wall that is 17 3/4 feet wide. The picture is 2 3/4 feet wide. How many feet from each side of the wall must the frame be so that it is centered?

Answers

Answer:

The distance of frame from each side of the wall so that it is at centered is 7.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The measure of the wall = 17[tex]\dfrac{3}{4}[/tex] feet

i.e The measure of the wall =[tex]\dfrac{71}{4}[/tex] feet

The measure of the picture = 2[tex]\dfrac{3}{4}[/tex] feet

i.e The measure of the picture =[tex]\dfrac{11}{4}[/tex] feet

Let The distance from each side of wall so that frame at centered = x feet

Now, According to question

x = The measure of the wall - measure of the picture

Or, x = [tex]\dfrac{71}{4}[/tex] feet - [tex]\dfrac{11}{4}[/tex] feet

Or, x = [tex]\dfrac{71 - 11}{4}[/tex] feet

Or, x = [tex]\dfrac{60}{4}[/tex] feet

∴ x = 15 feet

Now, For each side so that frame st centered = [tex]\dfrac{15}{2}[/tex] feet

Or,  For each side so that frame st centered = 7.5 feet

Hence,The distance of frame from each side of the wall so that it is at centered is 7.5 feet Answer

How many ounces does a 2-ton rhinoceros weigh?

Answers

Answer:

64,000 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

1 ton = 32,000 ounces

2 tons x 32,000 ounces (which is equal to one ton)

=64,000 ounces

2 tons = 64,000 ounces

Final answer:

A 2-ton rhinoceros weighs 64,000 ounces, which is calculated by converting tons to pounds and then pounds to ounces.

Explanation:

The weight of a rhinoceros weighing 2 tons can be calculated in ounces by first converting the weight to pounds. As we know from previous examples, 1 ton = 2,000 pounds. So, a 2-ton rhinoceros weighs 2 × 2,000 = 4,000 pounds. Now, to convert pounds to ounces, we use the conversion factor that 1 pound = 16 ounces. Therefore, a 2-ton rhinoceros weighs 4,000 × 16 = 64,000 ounces.
