Pentagon RSTUV is circumscribed about a circle. What is the value of x if RS = 6, ST = 9, TU = 7, UV = 15, and VR = 14?

Answers

Answer 1

Starting at vertex V going until vertex S, we make our calculations.

VR = 14

Rx = x

therefore, xS = VR – Rx

xS = 14 – x                           ---> 1

 

Now starting at vertex V going left to vertex S, we make our next set of calculations. Assuming x is on VR but nearer R

VR  = 14 - x

at UV = 15 – (14 – x)

at UV = 1 + x

at TU = 7 – (1 + x)

at TU = 6 – x

at ST = 9 – (6 – x)

at ST = 3 + x                        ---> 2


Equate 1 and 2:

14 – x = 3 + x

2 x = 11

x = 5.5

Answer 2

To find the value of x in the circumscribed pentagon RSTUV with given sides, we set up an equation based on the sum of the lengths of the opposite sides. After solving the equation, we determined that x is 25.

Pentagon RSTUV and the Value of x

Given that pentagon RSTUV is circumscribed about a circle, we need to find the value of x,

where RS = 6, ST = 9, TU = 7, UV = 15, and VR = 14.

For a polygon circumscribed about a circle, the sum of the lengths of the pairs of opposite sides must be equal. Therefore, we can set up the equation:

RS + TU + x = ST + UV + VR

Substituting the given values:

6 + 7 + x = 9 + 15 + 14

Simplifying the right-hand side:

6 + 7 + x = 3813 + x = 38x = 38 - 13x = 25

Thus, the value of x is 25.

Megumi earned a salary of $39,312 last year. How much did she earn per month

Answers

2 months in a year

39312/12 = 3276 per month

Answer:

She earned $ 3,276 per month.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that,

1 year = 12 months,

Given,

Megumi earned a salary of $39,312 last year

⇒ His salary of one year = $ 39,312

⇒ Salary of 12 months = $ 39,312

A recipe calls for 1/2 cup of ingredient A for every 1 2/5 cups of ingredient B. You use 4 cups of ingredient A. How many cups of ingredient B do you need?

Answers

Let x = number of cups of ingredient B if 2 cups of ingredient A are used. Set up a proportion:  (1/2)/(1 2/5) = (2)/x. Cross multiplying we get (1/2)x = (1 2/5)(2) 
 (1/2)x = 14/5, so x = 28/5 = 5 3/5 cups.
you use 1 2/5 of B for every 1/2 A and they use 4 of A so times 1 2/5 by 8 and you get 11.2 cups of B

Find the point on the line y = 3x + 2 that is closest to the origin.

Answers

1.
the slope of the line y=3x+2 is the coefficient of x, that is 3.

2.
the slope of any line perpendicular to the line y=3x+2, is m, such that:

[tex]3*m=-1[/tex]

so [tex]m= \frac{-1}{3} [/tex]

3. 
so any line with equation y=-1/3x+k is perpendicular to y=3x+2.

moreover, the line y=-1/3x (so k=0) is the line passing through the origin
(0, 0) and perpendicular to y=3x+2


4. This means that the closest point of y=3x+2 to the origin is the intersection point of lines y=3x+2 and y=-1/3x

5.
to find this point:

3x+2=(-1/3)x
x(3+1/3)=-2
x(9/3+1/3)=-2

x*10/3=-2

[tex]x= \frac{-2*3}{10} = \frac{-6}{10}=-0.6 [/tex]


thus y is :  (-1/3)(-6/10)=0.2



Answer: (-0.6, 0.2)

The point on the line [tex]y=3x+2[/tex] that is closest to the origin is [tex](-0.6, 0.2)[/tex].

Given,  [tex]y=3x+2[/tex], whose slope is [tex]3[/tex].

Let [tex]m[/tex] is the slope of the line perpendicular to the above line.

So,

[tex]3\times m=-1\\m=-1/3[/tex]

Then, the general equation of a line perpendicular line will be [tex]y=-1/3x+k[/tex].

So the equation line passing through the origin [tex](0,0)[/tex] and perpendicular to the line [tex]y=3x+2[/tex] is [tex]y=-1/3x[/tex] , [tex](k=0)[/tex].

Then the closest point will be the intersection point of these two lines, i.e.

[tex]3x+2=-1/3x\\9x+6=-x\\10x+6=0\\x=-0.6[/tex]

and

[tex]y=\dfrac{-0.6}{3} \\y=0.2[/tex]

Therefore, the point on the line [tex]y=3x+2[/tex] that is closest to the origin is [tex](-0.6, 0.2)[/tex].

What is an angle?

In Plane Geometry, a figure which is formed by two rays or lines that shares a common endpoint is called an angle. The two rays are called the sides of an angle, and the common endpoint is called the vertex.

here, we have,

The sum of all the angles of a quadrilateral is 360°

(15x-10)°+(15x+14)°+(9x-4)°+(11x+10)° = 360°

Open up the brackets and rearrange the expression

15x-10°+15x+14°+9x-4°+11x+10°=360°

15x+15x+9x+11x-10°+14°-4°+10° = 360°

50x+10°=360°

Collect like terms

50x=360°-10°

50x=350°

Divide by the coefficient of x

x= 350/50

X=7°

Substitute the value of x into the various angles

15x-10°=(15×7)-10= 105-10=95°

15x+14°=(15×7)+14=105+14=119°

9x-4°=(9×7)-4=63-4=59°

An object is thrown from an initial height of 0 feet with an initial velocity of 160 feet per second. Solve for when it will return to the ground. Show your work and explain the steps used to solve.

Answers

Projectile motion is when the direction of an object follows the shape of an arc. The only force acting on the object is gravity. Also, the concept is that the motion of the horizontal and vertical directions are independent. Therefore, assuming no air resistance, the time for a rock thrown over the cliff at some angle to reach the ground will be the same time if you just simply free-fall the rock. 

Hence, we can solve this using rectilinear motion equations.

y = vt + 1/2*a*t^2, where
y is the vertical distance
v is the initial velocity
a is the acceleration due to gravity equal to -32.2 ft/s^2
t is the time of flight

However, it would be impossible to have 0 height. I think there is some typographical error right there. Let's just assume a height of 1000 ft. Substituting the values,

100 = 160*t + 1/2*-32.2*t^2
t = 9.3 seconds

Which polygon has an interior angle sum of 1080°?

Answers

The polygon which has an interior angle sum of 1080° is an Octagon

Interior angles of a Polygon

From the question, we are to determine which polygon has an interior angle sum of 1080°

To find that, we will determine the number of sides the polygon has.

From the formula for sum of the interior angles in a polygon

Sum of interior angles = (n-2)180°

Where n is the number of sides

Then,

1080° = (n-2) 180°

1080° ÷ 180° = n-2

6 = n-2

n = 6 + 2

n = 8

Answers

 

To solve this problem, let us first define what a median is. A median is a line segment that connects a vertex and the midpoint of the side opposite to that vertex.

In this case, the vertex is point A while the opposing side is side CB. Since it connects to the midpoint of CB, therefore this means that the median AD equally divides side CB into 2 parts.  Since the length side CB is the sum of the lengths side CD and side BD. Therefore this means that:

length of CD = length of BD

length of CD = 24

The probability of the event A that represents that the man's birthday is in May is 0.084.

What is probability?

Probability is the branch of mathematics concerning numerical descriptions of how likely an event is to occur. Mathematically -

P(A) = n(A)/n(S)

Given is a person who is randomely selected.

Assume that the Event A represents that the man's birthday is in may.

Total number of days in the month of may = n(A) = 31

Total number of days in a year = n(S) = 365

Therefore, the probability that the man's birthday is in may will be -

P(A) = n(A)/n(S)

P(A) = 31/365

P(A) = 0.084

Therefore, the probability of the event A that represents that the man's birthday is in May is 0.084.

Suppose a and b are independent events. if p(a)=0.4 and p(b)=0.1, what is p(a u

Answers

Final answer:

To find the probability of the union of two independent events, use the formula P(A U B) = P(A) + P(B). In this case, P(A U B) = 0.4 + 0.1 = 0.5.

Explanation:

To find the probability of the union of two independent events, we can use the formula:

P(A U B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A ∩ B)

Since the two events, A and B, are independent, the probability of their intersection, P(A ∩ B), is 0. This is because the occurrence of one event does not affect the occurrence of the other event. Therefore, we have:

P(A U B) = P(A) + P(B)

Substituting the given values, we get:

P(A U B) = 0.4 + 0.1

Of course, we can't take into account inflation, because nothing is said, I mean that the $24 a few years ago are not the same as today ...

Answer:

Money did martin make = 275.4 $

Step-by-step explanation:

Martin brought 30 shares of Microsoft at the close price of $24.53.

Number of shares = 30

Cost per share = 24.53 $

Total cost = 30 x 24.53 = 735.9 $

Martin sells all of his shares at $33.71

Selling price per share = 33.71 $

Total selling price = 30 x 33.71 = 1011.3 $

Gain for Martin = 1011.3 - 735.9 = 275.4 $

Money did martin make = 275.4 $
