Answer:

Bill and Ted are going to order t-shirts for there school clubs. The t-shirts will have the club logo printed on the front. Bill and Ted ask two local t-shirt companies to give them a price. * Patty's Printing charges $21.50 for each t-shirt. * Sandra's shirts has a one-time set up fee for $63 and then charges $18 for each t-sh

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 2: Table Chart:

Number of t-shirts: 2

Patty's cost: 43$

Sandra's cost: : 99$

Number of t-shirts: 4

Patty's cost: 86$

Sandra's cost: : 135$

Patty's cost: 344$

Sandra's cost: : 351$

Number of t-shirts: 18

Patty's cost: 387$

Sandra's cost: : 387$

Part 3: Patty's Printing

Linear equation = equation of a line= y=mx+b

y=21.5x

Part 4: Sandra's Shirts:

Linear equation = equation of a line= y=mx+b

y= 18x+63

Part 5: Note to Jackie

Dear Jackie, I recommend Sandra's shirts.

Write equations:

Sandra's Shirts = 18x+63

Patty's Printing = 21.5x

Sandra's Shirts: 495=18x+63 = 24 shirts

Patty's Printing: 495=21.5x = 23 shirts

Part 6: Refute Jackie

Sandra's Shirts is more expensive at the beginning, but as you buy more shirts (greater than 18), Patty's Printing becomes cheaper.

You should probably add to this, but I can't think of anything else.

Part 7: Equality

At 18 shirts (see table), the shirt cost is equal.

You should probably add to this, but I can't think of anything else.

18x+63=21.5x

[tex]u =3[/tex]

[tex]v =\sqrt{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The triangle in the diagram above

Required

Find the missing lengths, u and v

To find the missing lengths, we have to check the relationship between the missing lengths, the given length and the given angle;

From trigonometry;

[tex]sin\ \theta = \frac{Opp}{Hyp}[/tex]; Where Opp = Opposite and Hyp = Hypotenuse

From the attached diagram;

[tex]\theta = 30[/tex]

[tex]Opp = v[/tex]

[tex]Hyp = 2\sqrt{3}[/tex]

[tex]sin\ \theta = \frac{Opp}{Hyp}[/tex]  becomes

[tex]sin\ 30 = \frac{v}{2\sqrt{3}}[/tex]

Multiply both sides by [tex]2\sqrt{3}[/tex]

[tex]2\sqrt{3} * sin\ 30 = \frac{v}{2\sqrt{3}} * 2\sqrt{3}[/tex]

[tex]2\sqrt{3} * sin\ 30 = v[/tex]

In radians, [tex]sin30 = \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]2\sqrt{3} * \frac{1}{2} = v[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{3} = v[/tex]

[tex]v =\sqrt{3}[/tex]

Similarly, From trigonometry;

[tex]cos\ \theta = \frac{Adj}{Hyp}[/tex]; Where Adj = Adjacent

From the attached diagram;

[tex]\theta = 30[/tex]

[tex]Adj = u[/tex]

[tex]Hyp = 2\sqrt{3}[/tex]

[tex]cos\ \theta = \frac{Adj}{Hyp}[/tex]  becomes

[tex]cos\ 30 = \frac{u}{2\sqrt{3}}[/tex]

Multiply both sides by [tex]2\sqrt{3}[/tex]

[tex]2\sqrt{3} * cos\ 30 = \frac{u}{2\sqrt{3}} * 2\sqrt{3}[/tex]

[tex]2\sqrt{3} * cos\ 30 = u[/tex]

In radians, [tex]cos30 = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}[/tex]

[tex]2\sqrt{3} * \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = u[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{3} * \sqrt{3} = u[/tex]

[tex]3 = u[/tex]

[tex]u =3[/tex]

Answers

For number 5, we know that the triangles are not similar. Therefore, their corresponding sides are not proportional. I believe you could prove this by diving Triangle PQR’s side lengths with their corresponding side lengths in Triangle STU. I’ll do it below:
Side PQ corresponds to side TS. 9/7 is roughly 1.29, which would make that its scale factor. (I’m dividing because when side lengths are proportional, there is a specific value, the scale factor, that you can multiply or divide by to find the unknown side length of a corresponding side). Side QR corresponds to side UT. 15/10 is 1.5, thus making that the scale factor between these two sides. Finally, we see that side PR corresponds to side US. 12/8 is 1.5, making the scale factor between those two sides 1.5. Although two pairs of corresponding sides have the same scale factor, the same cannot be said for the third pair of corresponding sides. In order for the triangles to be similar, the scale factor should remain constant between each corresponding side, therefore, the triangles are not similar.
For number 6, since you are only given the side lengths, you would not be able to use the AA (Angle-Angle Similarity Theorem), or SAS (Side-Angle-Side Similarity Theorem). The calculations are shown below:
PQ~TS: 9/6= 1.5
QR~UT: 15/10= 1.5
PR~US: 12/8= 1.5

The scale factor for each pair of corresponding sides is congruent, proving that the triangles are proportional, making them similar.

Which equation can be used to solve for the measure of angle ABC? tan(x) = tan(x) = sin(x) = sin(x) =

Answers

Answer:

A. tan(x) = 2.4/10

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete and lacks the required diagram. Find the question and diagram attached below.

Which equation can be used to solve for the measure of angle ABC? tan(x) = 2.4/10 tan(x) =10/2.4 sin(x) =10/10.3 sin(x) =10.3/10

We will use the SOH CAH TOA identity to calculate the equation needed to solve for angle ABC.

In a right angled triangle, the side facing the acute angle ABC is the opposite, the longest side is the hypotenuse and the third side (base) is the adjacent.

From the diagram shown;

AB = hypotenuse = 10.3cm

AC = opposite = 2.4cm

BC = adjacent  = 10cm

To get the angle x, we can use the SOH and TOA identity.

SOH means sin<ABC = opp/hyp

Sin(x) = AC/AB = 2.4/10.3

TOA ≈ Tan(x) = opp/adj

Tan(x) = 2.4/10

The equation that can be used to solve for the measure of angle ABC are therefore sin(x) = 2.4/10.3 OR tan(x) = 2.4/10

Based on the given option,

tan(x) = 2.4/10 is the only correct answer.

A tank can be filled by one pump in 50 minutes and by another in 60 minutes. A third pump can drain the tank in 75 minutes. If all 3 pumps work simultaneously, how long will it take to fill the tank? (Answer in hours)

Answers

let's label each pump A, B, and C, just for convenience. A fills the tank by 1/50 every minute, B fills the tank by 1/60 every minute, and C drains it by 1/75 every minute. Now we can put them all into one function: t(1/50 + 1/60 - 1/75) = 1, where t = our time in minutes and 1 = the tank being full.

next, we solve for t: t = 300/7 minutes, or approximately 42.86 minutes.

Starting with:

[tex]\frac{1}{4} + \frac{2}{7} + \frac{1}{2} =[/tex]

Begin by finding a common denominator. A number that contains all of the denominators as a factor would be 28. Change each fraction to contain a denominator of 28:

[tex]\frac{7}{28} + \frac{8}{28} + \frac{14}{28} =[/tex]

Add the fractions:

[tex]\frac{7}{28} + \frac{8}{28} + \frac{14}{28} = \frac{29}{28}[/tex]

Therefore, the fractions sum up to 29/28.

4,7,and 2 all have 28 so 28 is the common denominator

1/4 = 1/4 x 7/7 = 7/28

you can multiply because 7/7 = 1 so you are just multiplying by 1

2/7 x 4/4 = 8/28

1/2 x 14/14= 14/28

7/28 + 8/28 + 14/28 = 29/28 or 1 1/28

A bakery was about to sell fresh baguettes, and people formed a line outside to wait. While waiting for the bread to bake, every space between two people in the line was filled by a new person who had joined the line. More time passed, and again each space between the people waiting was filled with a new person who joined the line. Finally, 85 fresh baguettes were brought out and one baguette was sold to each person. How many people were standing in the original line?

Answers

Answer:

The number of people standing in the original line is 22 people

Step-by-step explanation:

The information given are;

The number of baguettes that was shared by the people on the line = 85

The number of baguettes each person received = 1 each

Therefore;

The number of people that were finally on the line = 85

Let the number of people in the original line = X

Then each space between two people in X was filled by 1 new person of the first set of people who joined the line

Therefore;

The number of the first set of people who joined the line = The number of spaces between two count of people in X

Which gives;

The number of people who joined the line = X - 1

The new total number of people on the line = X + X - 1 = 2·X - 1

As time passed, a second set of people joined the line such that each space between the people waiting was filled with a new person (from the second set) who joined the line

Therefore, the number of people in the second set = Number of people waiting - 1

Which gives;

The number of people in the second set = 2·X - 1 - 1 = 2·X - 2

The total number of people on the line becomes 2·X - 1 + 2·X - 2 = 4·X - 3

The 85 baguettes is then able to go round (each) among the total number of people on the line

Therefore;

The total number of people on the line = The number of baguettes sheared

4·X - 3 = 85

4·X = 85 + 3 = 88

X = 88/4 = 22

Therefore;

The number of people standing in the original line = 22.

There is a equilateral triangle with sides of 13 inches, how do I find the area of that triangle?

Answers

Answer:

73.18

Step-by-step explanation:

equilateral triangle means all sides are the same

A=(√3/4)a^2

A=(√3/4)*13^2

A=73.18 inches square

Answer:

73.18 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of an equilateral triangle, we use a certain formula.

Where the side length is represented by s, the area is (sqrt(3))/4 * s^2.

Since s = 13, you will have (sqrt(3))/4 * 13^2 = 1.732050808/4 * 169 = 292.7165865/4 = 73.17914662. You can round that to 73.18.

So, the area of the triangle is 73.18 square inches.
