Triangle PQR ≅ Triangle XYZ
PQ = 3a + 4 and XY = 5a – 12. Find a and PQ.

Answers

Answer 1

Given:

[tex]\Delta PQR\cong \Delta XYZ[/tex]

[tex]PQ=3a+4[/tex]

[tex]XY=5a-12[/tex]

To find:

The value of a and PQ.

Solution:

We have,

[tex]\Delta PQR\cong \Delta XYZ[/tex]

[tex]PQ\cong XY[/tex]                            (CPCTC)

So,

[tex]PQ=XY[/tex]

[tex]3a+4=5a-12[/tex]

Isolating variable terms, we get

[tex]3a-5a=-4-12[/tex]

[tex]-2a=-16[/tex]

Divide both sides by -2.

[tex]a=\dfrac{-16}{-2}[/tex]

[tex]a=8[/tex]

Now,

[tex]PQ=3a+4[/tex]

[tex]PQ=3(8)+4[/tex]

[tex]PQ=24+4[/tex]

[tex]PQ=28[/tex]

Therefore, the value of a is 8 and the value of PQ is 28.

Which of the following is a counterexample for the hypothesis "All parallelograms are rectangles"?

Answers

Answer:

The answer would be B

Step-by-step explanation:

A non-square rhombus. A non-square rhombus (also known as a rhombus) is different from a square with respect to its internal angles. Unlike a square, a non-square rhombus does not have all its internal angles equal to 90°. The number of lines of symmetry in a non-square rhombus is 2, whereas, a square has 4 lines of symmetry.

The required counterexample is rhombus for the given hypothesis "All parallelograms are rectangles" which is the correct answer would be option (B).

What is the hypothesis?

In statistics, hypothesis testing is the process by which an analyst tests an assumption about a population's parameter. Using sample data, hypothesis testing is performed to examine the plausibility of a theory.

A rhombus that isn't square. In terms of internal angles, a non-square rhombus (also known as a rhombus) differs from a square. A non-square rhombus, unlike a square, does not have all of its internal angles equal to 90°. A non-square rhombus has two lines of symmetry, whereas a square has four lines of symmetry.

Therefore, the required counterexample is rhombus for the given hypothesis "All parallelograms are rectangles"

Complete the square for the following equation x^2-18x

Answers

Answer:

Multiple answers would work

Step-by-step explanation:

From the subtraction sign before the 18x, we can infer that one of the equations has a negative number. So, know we have this:

(x-?) (x+?)

There are multiple answers this could be,

(x-18) (x)

(x-20) (x+2)

You get where I am going...

If you went with the first on (x-18) (x), then you wouldn't have to add anything.

(x-20) (x+2) = x^2 - 18X - 40.

To be honest this one stumped me. Some just have multiple answers. My guess is that you have to fill out the boxes so maybe the first answer wouldn't work.

Vertical Angles: Find the Supplementary Angles (photo provided)

Answers

Answer:

105°

Step-by-step explanation:

The given angles are vertical and congruent , then

8x - 21 = 6x + 3 ( subtract 6x from both sides )

2x - 21 = 3 ( add 21 to both sides )

2x = 24 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 12

Then

6x + 3 = 6(12) + 3 = 72 + 3 = 75°

Supplementary angles sum to 180° , thus

supplementary angle = 180° - 75° = 105°

1. Confirm there are no common factors: No common factors (given)

2. Factor out -1:

Multiply all the terms by -1 and take -1 out:

[tex]\boxed{(-1)(x^2+x-6)}[/tex]

3. Factor

The final factoring is:

You have 200 bottles of Medicine. 99% contain Medicine A; the rest, Medicine B. How many bottles of Medicine A do you need to use/empty to get Medicine A to 98%?

Answers

Answer:

I need to empty 2 bottles to get Medicine A to 98% of the total bottles

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to find out what 99% of 200 is. This will give us how many bottles of "Medicine A"  are present.

99% of 200 is 198. This means that there are 198 bottles of Medicine A present.

The next step is to find out what 98% of 200 is. This will give us the number of bottles of "Medicine A " that will be left remaining.

98% of 200 is 196. There neede to be 196 bottles left after I have taken out and emptied a few bottles of Medicine A.

The last step is to subtract 196 from 198 bottles, to get the number of bottles that I need to empty.

This will be 198 - 196 = 2 bottles

I need to empty 2 bottles to get Medicine A to 98% of the total bottles

2y+3y=4+−6+−13

(2y+3y)=(4+−6+−13)

5y=−15

y= −3

Answer:

y = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

You add 2y and 3y, you'd get 5y from it. You do 4-6-13 which is -15.

So 5y = -15.

You subtract 5 from the y side and add 5 to the -15.

So basically:

5y = -15

-5 & +5

y = -10
