In a parallelogram ABCD point K belongs to diagonal BD so that BK:DK=1:4. If the extension of AK meets BC at point E, what is the ratio of BE:EC?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]\frac{BE}{EC} =\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

In the diagram below we have

ABCD is a parallelogram. K is the point on diagonal BD, such that

[tex]\frac{BK}{CK} =\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

And AK meets BC at E

now in Δ AKD and Δ BKE

∠AKD =∠BKE                ( vertically opposite angles are equal)

since BC ║ AD and BD is transversal

∠ADK = ∠KBE     ( alternate interior angles are equal )

By angle angle (AA) similarity theorem

Δ ADK  and Δ EBK are similar

so we have

[tex]\frac{AD}{BE} =\frac{DK}{BK}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{AD}{BE} =\frac{4}{1}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{BC}{BE}=\frac{4}{1}[/tex]     ( ABCD is parallelogram so AD=BC)

[tex]\frac{BE+EC}{BE}=\frac{4}{1}[/tex]         ( BC= BE+EC)

[tex]\frac{BE}{BE} +\frac{EC}{BE}=\frac{4}{1}[/tex]

[tex]1+\frac{EC}{BE}=4[/tex]

[tex]\frac{EC}{BE}=3[/tex]  ( subtracting 1 from both side )

[tex]\frac{EC}{BE}=\frac{3}{1}[/tex]

taking reciprocal both side

[tex]\frac{BE}{EC} =\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

The length of each side of a cube is increased by a factor of 4. What is the effect on the volume of the cube?

Answers

Answer:

When dealing with VOLUME, an increase in a linear quantity, produces a third power result in the volume.

Increase the sides of a cube by 2 produces an 8 times effect in the volume.

Increasing each side of a cube by 4 produces a chnage of 4 * 4 * 4 or

64 times in the volume.

Step-by-step explanation:


Increasing the length of each side of a cube by a factor of 4 results in the volume increasing by a factor of 64, since volume is proportional to the cube of the linear dimensions.

When the length of each side of a cube is increased by a factor of 4, the effect on the volume of the cube is that it increases by a factor of [tex]4^3[/tex], or 64. This is because volume is a three-dimensional measure, and when each dimension (length, width, height) of a cube is multiplied by a factor, the volume is multiplied by the factor raised to the third power (since volume is calculated by length  *width * height).

Therefore, if the original length of one side of the cube is L, the original volume is L3. After increasing each side by a factor of 4, the new length becomes 4L, making the new volume [tex](4L)^3 = 4^3 \times L^3 = 64L^3[/tex]. Hence, the new volume is 64 times the original volume, not simply 4 times because the increase happens in each of the three dimensions.

Replace ∗ with a monomial so that the expression can be rewritten as a square of a sum or a difference: ∗ +56a+49

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\ast=16a^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Use formula for  a square of a sum:

[tex](x+y)^2=x^2+2xy+y^2.[/tex]

Note that

[tex]49=7^2;[/tex][tex]56a=2\cdot 28a=2\cdot 7\cdot 4a.[/tex]

Then instead of * should be the square of the term 4a that is [tex](4a)^2=16a^2.[/tex]

Then

[tex]16a^2+56a+49=(4a+7)^2.[/tex]

Final answer:

To complete the pattern in the expression ∗ +56a+49 to make it a square of a sum or a difference, we can use the formula for (a+b)² as a guide. If 49 is b² and 56a is 2ab, the missing part would be a². On solving, we find that the value of a² is 16a².

Explanation:

The subject of this question is finding a monomial such that the given expression can be rewritten as a square of a sum or a difference. The expression is ∗ +56a+49. We can think of the square of a sum or a difference as the result of the formula (a+b)² = a² + 2ab + b² which gives a hint that we can structure our expression in a similar way.

Let's rearrange the given expression a bit using this hint. If we look at 49, it is equal to 7². This could be our b². Additionally, 56a can be written as 2*7*a or 2ab. So the missing part would be a² which completes the pattern of the formula.

To find the value of a², we need to know the value of a. Here's where 56a comes into play. It is 2ab (or in this case, 2*7*a). Solving this equation for a, we get a=4. So, a²=16. Therefore, the monomial that completes the pattern in the expression is 16a².

... 100 - 80% × 100 = 100 × (1 - 0.80) = 100 × 0.20 = 20 . . . . units

Then the percent increase to sales of 100 units in 1996 can be found from ...

... percent change = ((new value) - (old value))/(old value) × 100%

Weekly net pay is $36790

Weekly gross pay is  $41600

Step-by-step explanation:

Net pay  is the gross pay minus taxes

Net pay = gross pay - taxes

Gross pay =  hours worked * hourly rate


Net pay = hours worked * hourly rate - taxes

We know the  

hours worked = 40

Hourly rate = 20

tax rate = 185 bi weekly  = 185/2 = 92.5 weekly


Net pay = 40 * 20 - 92.5

Net pay = 800-92.5

Net pay = 707.5


This is the weekly net pay

Assuming we work 52 weeks a year

Weekly net pay is 52* 707.5 = 36790


Weekly gross pay is  40*20 * 52 = 41600

Triangles △ABC and △DEF are similar. Find the lengths of the sides of △DEF, if AB=2 cm, BC=3 cm, CA=4 cm, DE=1.5 cm.

Answers

Answer:

DE = 1.5 cm, EF = 2.25 cm, FD = 3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Side DE corresponds to side AB and is (1.5 cm)/(2 cm) = 3/4 the length of it.

Because the triangles are similar, all pairs of corresponding sides have the same ratio. That is, the side lengths in ΔDEF are 3/4 of those in ΔABC.

... EF = (3/4)×BC = (3/4)×(3 cm)

... EF = 2.25 cm

... FD = (3/4)×CA = (3/4)×(4 cm)

... FD = 3 cm

Final answer:

The lengths of the sides of triangle △DEF, given that AB=2 cm, BC=3 cm, CA=4 cm, and DE=1.5 cm, would be EF = 2.25 cm and DF = 3 cm.

Explanation:

If triangles △ABC and △DEF are similar, then the ratio of the corresponding sides is the same. We know AB = 2 cm which corresponds to DE = 1.5 cm in the triangle △DEF. The ratio of AB to DE is 2cm:1.5cm or 4:3. Let's compute the sides of the triangle △DEF using this ratio:

EF corresponds to BC in triangle △ABC. Using the ratio 4:3, EF = BC * (3/4) = 3cm * 3/4 = 2.25 cm DF corresponds to CA in triangle △ABC. Using the ratio 4:3, DF = CA * (3/4) = 4cm * 3/4 = 3 cm

System

p + m = 100.8m = 0.4·10

Solution

p = m = 5 — 5 lb peanuts and 5 lb mixtureStep-by-step explanation:

(a) Generally, the equations of interest are one that models the total amount of mixture, and one that models the amount of one of the constituents (or the ratio of constituents). Here, there are two constituents and we are given the desired ratio, so three different equations are possible describing the constituents of the mix.

For the total amount of mix:

... p + m = 10

For the quantity of peanuts in the mix:

... p + 0.2m = 0.6·10

For the quantity of almonds in the mix:

... 0.8m = 0.4·10

For the ratio of peanuts to almonds:

... (p +0.2m)/(0.8m) = 0.60/0.40

Any two (2) of these four (4) equations will serve as a system of equations that can be used to solve for the desired quantities. I like the third one because it is a "one-step" equation.

So, your system of equations could be ...

p + m = 100.8m = 0.4·10

___

(b) Dividing the second equation by 0.8 gives

... m = 5

Using the first equation to find p, we have ...

... p + 5 = 10

... p = 5

Two similar pyramids A and B have surface areas of 135cm^2 and 60cm^2 respectively . The volume of pyramid A is 405 cm^3 work out the volume of pyramid B

Answers

Answer:

120 cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface areas are in the ratio 60 to 135  so the single dimensions are in the ratio √60 to √135.

Therefore the volumes are in the ratio (√60)^3 to  (√135)^3  or 60^3/2 to  135^3/2.

So  Volume of  Pyramid B / Volume of Pyramid A

= 60^3/2 / 135^3/2.

Therefore we have the equation  60^3/2 / 135^3/2 =  V / 405  where V is the volume of pyramid B.

V = (60^3/2 * 405) / 135^3/2

Solve for u: u/p + u/q =m, if , p≠−q

Answers

Answer:

The solution for u is:

[tex]u = \frac{mpq}{q+p}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step to solve this problem is finding the least common multiplicator between p and q, that is pq, so:

[tex]\frac{u}{p} + \frac{u}{q} = m[/tex]

[tex]\frac{uq + up}{pq} = m[/tex]

[tex]uq + up = mpq[/tex]

[tex]u(q + p) = mpq[/tex]

[tex]u = \frac{mpq}{q+p}[/tex]

The required solution of the given equation for u is equal to

(m(p × q)) / (q + p).

Given that:

Equation: u/p + u/q = m, if p ≠ -q

To solve for u in the equation u/p + u/q = m, use the method of finding a common denominator and simplifying the expression.

First, need to find a common denominator for the fractions u/p and u/q. The common denominator in this case would be (p × q).

Multiplying the equation by (p × q) to get,

u(q) + u(p) = m(p × q)

Next, combine the terms with u as:

u × q + u × p = m(p × q)

Now, factor out u as:

u(q + p) = m(p × q)

To solve for u, divide both sides of the equation by (q + p):

u = (m(p × q)) / (q + p)

Therefore, the solution for u is u = (m(p × q)) / (q + p).
