Answers
Answer
Option A is correct.
(11.4 × 9) = (11 × 9) + (0.4 × 9) = 102.6
Step-by-step Explanation
The best way to explain this is to examine the options one at a time to examine the one that is the most correct.
We want to know which of the options is equal to (11.4 × 9).
11.4 × 9 = 102.6
The options are
A. (11 × 9) + (0.4 × 9)
11 × 9 = 99
0.4 × 9 = 3.6
(11 × 9) + (0.4 × 9) = 99 + 3.6 = 102.6
B. (11 + 9) + (0.4 + 9)
11 + 9 = 20
0.4 + 9 = 9.4
(11 + 9) + (0.4 + 9) = 20 + 9.4 = 29.4
C. (11 × 9) × (0.4 × 9)
11 × 9 = 99
0.4 × 9 = 3.6
(11 × 9) × (0.4 × 9) = 99 × 3.6 = 356.4
D. (11 + 9) × (0.4 + 9)
11 + 9 = 20
0.4 + 9 = 3.6
(11 + 9) × (0.4 + 9) = 20 × 3.6 = 72
Since only option A gives the same answer as the expression in the question, option A is the only correct option.

Read the following conjectures and decide if they are true or false: • Angles that are adjacent angles share a vertex. • All right angles are supplementary angles. • The square of all odd numbers is an odd number • The product of an even number and odd number is even Counterexamples:
Answers
1) Angles that are adjacent share a common vertex = True
Points to know about adjacent angles:
They have a side in common
They have a common vertex
They do not overlap
2) All right angles are supplementary angles = False
Right angles = 90 degrees (they are complementary)
3) The square of all odd numbers is an odd number = True
All odd numbers take the form 2n + 1 (notice the offshoot of 1)
The square of odd numbers will be :
(2n + 1) ² = 4n ² + 4n + 1 (this also has an offshoot of 1)
This means that both an odd number and its square are odd
4) The product of an even number and an odd number is even = True

[tex]y=x^2-5x+6[/tex]For x = -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
we need to find the corresponding values for y.
For x = -5
y = (-5)^2 - 5(-5) + 6
= 56
For x = -4
y = (-4)^2 - 5(-4) + 6
= 42
For x = -3
y = (-3)^2 - 5(-3) + 6

For x = -2
y = (-3)^2 - 5(-2) + 6
= 20
For x = -1
y = (-1)^2 - 5(-1) + 6
= 12
For x = 0
y = (0)^2 - 5(0) + 6

For x = 1
y = (1)^2 - 5(1) + 6
= 2
For x = 2
y = (2)^2 - 5(2) + 6

For x = 3
y = 3^2 - 5(3) + 6
= 0
For x = 4
y = 4^2 - 5(4) + 6

Answers
To answer this question, we need to identify two points on the graph. These points are:
(4, 7) and (0, -9). These points are easy to identify, and a line is defined by two points.
We are going to use the two-point equation of the line to finally find the slope-intercept form of the line.
The formula to find the line is:
[tex]y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)[/tex]We have two points, and we need to label them as follows:
(4, 7) ---> x1 = 4, y1 = 7
(0, -9) ---> x2 = 0, y2 = -9
Then, we have:
[tex]y-7=\frac{-9-7}{0-4}(x-4)\Rightarrow y-7=\frac{-16}{-4}(x-4)\Rightarrow y-7=4(x-4)[/tex]Then, we have:
[tex]y-7=4x-16\Rightarrow y=4x-16+7\Rightarrow y=4x-9[/tex]Therefore, the equation of the line is equal to:
[tex]y=4x-9[/tex]We need to write:
• In the first box ---> ,4

Determine if the following equation is linear if the equation is linear converted to standard form AX+by=c
Answers
Given the equation:
[tex](-10+y^2)-y^2=-7x+10[/tex]To determine if the equation is a linear equation, the first step is to simplify it. To do so, erase the parentheses and simplify the like terms:
[tex]\begin{gathered} (-10+y^2)-y^2=7x+10 \\ -10+y^2-y^2=7x+10 \\ -10+0y^2=7x+10 \\ -10+0y=7x+10 \end{gathered}[/tex]The terms "+y²" and "-y²" canceled each other, this is why the variable y is multiplied by zero. Then the only variable left is "x", which suggests that the equation represents a vertical line.
To write this equation in standard form, you have to pass the x-term to the left side of the equation and the constant to the right side of it:
[tex]\begin{gathered} -10+0y=-7x+10\text{ \rightarrow add 10 to both sides of the equation} \\ -10+10+0y=-7x+10+10 \\ 0y=-7x+20\text{ \rightarrow add 7x to both sides of the equation} \\ 0y+7x=-7x+7x+20 \\ 0y+7x=20 \\ 7x+0y=20 \end{gathered}[/tex]The line written in standard form is 7x+0y=20.
Vertical lines are considered to be linear equations.
find the measure of all labeled angles in the diagram
Answers
Answer:
∠1 = 127°
∠2 = 53°
∠3 = 127°
∠4 = 37°
∠5 = 53°
∠6 = 90°
∠7 = 37°
∠8 = 143°
∠9 = 37°
∠10 = 143°
Explanation:
If two angles form a straight line, they add to 180°, so ∠1, ∠2, and ∠3 can be calculated as:
∠1 = 180 - 53 = 127°
∠2 = 180 - ∠1 = 180 - 127 = 53°
∠3 = 180 - 53 = 127°
Then, ∠5 is corresponding to 53° because they are in the same relative position. It means that these angles have the same measure, so:
∠5 = 53°
On the other hand, ∠6 is opposite to the right angle, so it has the same measure, then:
∠6 = 90°
∠4, ∠5, and ∠6, form a straight line, so:
∠4 = 180 - ∠5 - ∠6
∠4 = 180 - 53 - 90
∠4 = 37°
Finally, the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is also 180°, so the measure ∠7 will be equal to:
∠7 = 180 - ∠2 - ∠6
∠7 = 180 - 53 - 90
∠7 = 37°
So, the measures of ∠8, ∠9, and ∠10 will be equal to:
∠8 = 180 - ∠7 = 180 - 37 = 143°
∠9 = 180 - ∠8 = 180 - 143 = 37°
∠10 = 180 - ∠7 = 180 - 37 = 143°
Therefore, the answers are:
∠1 = 127°
∠2 = 53°
∠3 = 127°
∠4 = 37°
∠5 = 53°
∠6 = 90°
∠7 = 37°
∠8 = 143°
∠9 = 37°
∠10 = 143°

1) What is the value of u? A) 32° B) 34 C) 36° D) 68°
Answers
Triangle XYZ is an isosceles triangle, then ∠Z and ∠X (also called u) measure the same.
The addition of the internal angles of a triangle is equal to 180°:
∠X + ∠Y + ∠Z = 180°
Replacing with ∠X = ∠Z = u, and ∠Y = 112°:
u + 112° + u = 180°
2u + 112° = 180°
2u = 180° - 112°
2u = 68°
u = 68°/2
u = 34°

The cost to prepare 1 square yard of grassland is $15 and the cost to prepare 1 square yard of forest is costs more to prepare?
Answers
Notice that both regions are right triangles.
As for Grassland, its area is given by the formula:
[tex]\begin{gathered} A_G=\frac{1}{2}bh,A_G=2400 \\ \Rightarrow\frac{1}{2}bh=2400 \\ \Rightarrow b=\frac{4800}{h}=\frac{4800}{60}=80 \\ \Rightarrow b=80 \end{gathered}[/tex]Then, the base of Grassland is equal to 80.
Furthermore, we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the value of its hypotenuse:
[tex]\text{hypotenuse}=\sqrt[]{80^2+60^2}=100[/tex]With this, we have found all the sides of the Grassland triangle, which is:
And the Forest triangle is similar to the Grassland triangle; then, their corresponding sides have the same ratio
Consider the diagram:
Then, due to the similarity between the triangles:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{45}{60}=\frac{x}{80} \\ \Rightarrow x=80\cdot\frac{45}{60}=60 \end{gathered}[/tex]And
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{45}{60}=\frac{y}{100} \\ \Rightarrow y=\frac{4500}{60}=75 \end{gathered}[/tex]Then, the Forest triangle is:
a) The perimeter of the Forest triangle is
[tex]\begin{gathered} P_F=45+75+60=180yd \\ \Rightarrow P_F=180\cdot3=540ft \end{gathered}[/tex]540ft, and, since the fence is $6 per foot, we need
[tex]540\cdot6=3240[/tex]$3240 to surround the whole Forest triangle.
b)
The cost of fencing around the forest is $3240 and cost to prepare the grassland is $15750 more than to prepare the forest.
What are similar triangles?Two triangles are said to be similar if their corresponding angles are congruent and the corresponding sides are in proportion.
Given that, Two similar triangular regions are to be prepared for development, the grassland and forest have side length 45 yd 60yd respectively Grassland Perimeter = 240 yd Grassland Area = 2400 yd²
We know that, in similar triangles, the ratio of corresponding sides are equal to the ratio of their perimeters and the ratio of square corresponding sides are equal to the ratio of theirs areas.
Let the perimeter of the forest be x,
Therefore, 45/60 = x/240
x = 180 yd = 540 ft
Since, cost of fencing is $6/foot
Therefore, cost of fencing the forest = 6*540 = $3240
And, Let the area of forest be y,
(45/60)² = y/2400
9/16 = y/2400
y = 1350 yd²
Since, the cost of preparing the forest and the grassland is $15/yd
Therefore, the cost of preparing the forest = 1350*15 = $20250
And the cost of preparing the grassland = 2400*15 = $36000
Therefore, cost to prepare the grassland is $15750 more than to prepare the forest.
Hence, The cost of fencing around the forest is $3240 and cost to prepare the grassland is $15750 more than to prepare the forest.

Answers
Explanation
to solve this we need to get the ratio, to do this get the same unit measure in both sides of the quotient
so
[tex]8\text{ in : 2 ft}[/tex]since
[tex]1\text{ ft=12 in}[/tex]replace,
[tex]\begin{gathered} 8\text{ in : 2 ft} \\ 8\text{ in : 2}(12\text{ in)} \\ 8\text{ in: 24 in} \\ \text{divide both sides by 8} \\ \frac{8\text{ in}}{8}=\frac{24\text{ in}}{8} \\ 1\text{ in:3 in} \end{gathered}[/tex]it means the scales factor is
[tex]1\colon3[/tex]
