Manuel used pattern blocks to build the shapes below. The block marked A is a square, B is a trapezoid, C is a rhombus (aparallelogram with equal sides), and D is a triangle. Find the area of each of Manuel's shapes.

Answers

Solving for area of first figure

Recall the following formula for area of 2D figures

[tex]\begin{gathered} A_{\text{square}}=s^2 \\ A_{\text{trapezoid}}=\frac{a+b}{2}h \end{gathered}[/tex]

The first figure consist of 2 figures with a square of side length of 2.5 cm, and a trapezoid with length 2.5 cm for the upper base, 5 cm for the lower base, and 2 cm for the height.

Calculate the area by getting the sum of the areas of the two figures

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Square: }s=2.5\text{ cm} \\ \text{Trapezoid: }a=2.5\text{ cm},b=5\text{ cm},h=2\text{ cm} \\ \\ A=s^2+\frac{a+b}{2}h \\ A=(2.5\text{ cm})^2+\frac{2.5\text{ cm}+5\text{ cm}}{2}\cdot2 \\ A=6.25\text{ cm}^2+\frac{7.5\text{ cm}}{\cancel{2}}\cdot\cancel{2}\text{ cm} \\ A=13.75\text{ cm}^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The area of the first figure therefore is 13.75 square centimeters.

Solving for the area of the second figure

Recall the following areas for 2D figures

[tex]\begin{gathered} A_{\text{triangle}}=\frac{1}{2}bh \\ A_{\text{rhombus}}=bh \end{gathered}[/tex]

Using the same procedures as above, we get the following

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Triangle: }b=2.5\text{ cm},h=2.2\text{ cm} \\ \text{Rhombus: }b=2.5\text{ cm},h=2\text{ cm} \\ \\ A=\frac{1}{2}(2.5\text{ cm})(2.2\text{ cm})+(2.5\text{ cm})(2\text{ cm}) \\ A=\frac{1}{2}(5.5\text{ cm}^2)+5\text{ cm}^2 \\ A=2.75\text{ cm}^2+5\text{ cm}^2 \\ A=7.75\text{ cm}^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the area of the second figure is 7.75 square centimeters.

Question 7Find the slope of the line that goes through the given points.(-1, 7).(-8, 7)1092

Answers

Given:

There are given that the two points;

[tex](-1,7)\text{ and (-8,7)}[/tex]

Explanation:

To find the slope of the line from the given point, we need to use the slope formula:

So,

From the formula of the slope:

[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

Where,

[tex]x_1=-1,y_1=7,x_2=-8,y_2=7_{}[/tex]

Then,

Put all the above values into the given formula:;

So,

[tex]\begin{gathered} m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\ m=\frac{7_{}-7_{}}{-8_{}-(-1)_{}} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Then,

[tex]\begin{gathered} m=\frac{7_{}-7_{}}{-8_{}+1_{}} \\ m=\frac{0}{-7} \\ m=0 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Final answer:

The slope of the given line is 0.

Hence, the correct option is B (0)

BD bisects ABC. Ifm ABD - 3x +27 andm2DBC = 8x-33, what ism2 DBC?

Answers

because the line BC bisects the angle ABC we can do the next equality

the angles DBC and ABD are equals

angle ABD = angle DBC

the value of ABD = 3x+37

the value of DBC = 8x-33

then we can do the next equality with the values

3x+27=8x-33

we need to clear x, so the terms of x will go to the right side and the terms without x will go to the left side

27+33=8x-3x

60=5x

we can change the sides in order to have x

5x=60

x=60/5

x=12

angle DBC=8(12)-33=63

The accompanying table shows the value of a car over time that was purchased for 13700 dollars, where x is years and y is the value of the car in dollars Write an exponential regression equation for this set of data, rounding all coefficients to the nearest thousandth . Using this equation , determine the value of the car, to the nearest cent , after 12 years ,

Answers

ANSWER

[tex]y=13700(0.919)^x[/tex]

Value of the car after 12 year: $4971.72

EXPLANATION

The exponential regression equation is

[tex]y=ab^x[/tex]

Using the values of the table we can find both a and b. Note that a is the value of y when x = 0, so a = 13700.

For b replace a, and x and y with the next values of the table:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 12590=13700b^1 \\ b=\frac{12590}{13700} \\ b\approx0.919 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The equation is

[tex]y=13700(0.919)^x[/tex]

To find the value of the car after 12 years, replace x = 12:

[tex]y=13700(0.919)^{12}\approx4971.72[/tex]

What is the best approximation for the area of a semi-circle with a diameter of 11.8 ( Use 3.14 for pie

Answers

Answer:

54.7units^2

Explanation:

Area of a semi-circle = \pid^2/8

d is the diameter of the semi circle

Given d = 11.8

Area = 3.14(11.8)^2/8

Area of the semi circle = 3.14(139.24)/8

Area of the semi circle = 437.2136/8

Area of the semi circle = 54.6517units^2

Hence the best approximation is 54.7units^2

It is reported that approximately 20 squaremiles of dry land and wetland were convertedto water along the Atlantic coast between 1996and 2011. A small unpopulated island in the AtlanticOcean is 2000 ft wide by 9,380 feet long. Atthis rate, how long before the island issubmerged?

Answers

2 months

1) Notice that the sinking rate is 20miles² per 5 years (2011-1996) so:

[tex]\frac{20}{5}=\frac{4m^2}{y}[/tex]

So the rate is 4 square miles per year.

2) We need to convert those measures from feet to miles:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 1\text{ mile=5280ft} \\ 2000ft=\frac{2000}{5280}=0.378miles \\ 9380ft=\frac{9380}{5280}=1.7765miles \end{gathered}[/tex]

So, now let's find the area multiplying the width by the height:

[tex]\begin{gathered} A=1.7765\cdot0.378 \\ A=0.671517m^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Now, considering the sinking rate of 4miles²/year we can write the following pair of ratios:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 1year-------4miles^2 \\ x----------0.6715 \\ 4x=0.6715 \\ \frac{4x}{4}=\frac{0.6715}{4} \\ x=0.17 \\ \\ --- \\ 0.17\times12\approx2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Note that we found that approximately 0.17 year is necessary to submerge tat island, converting that to months, we can state that in approximately 2 months

Solve the following equation for and y - 3 - 7i + 6x = 19 + 2i + 13yi

Answers

Okay, here we have this:

Considering the provided equation, we are going to solve it, so we obtain the following:

[tex]\begin{gathered} -3-7i+6x=19+2i+13yi \\ (-3+6x)-7i=19+(2+13y)i \end{gathered}[/tex]

So let's remember that a set of complex numbers can only be equal if their real and imaginary parts are equal. According to this we have:

-3+6x=19, -7=2+13y

6x=19+3, -7-2=13y

6x=22, -9=13y

x=22/6, y=-9/13

x=11/3, y=-9/13

Finally we obtain the following set: x=11/3, y=-9/13.

Find the value of x.

Answers

Answer

Option A is correct.

x = 5 units

Explanation

We can draw the triangle and divide it into two similar right angle triangles shown below

In a right angle triangle, the side opposite the right angle is the Hypotenuse, the side opposite the given angle that is non-right angle is the Opposite and the remaining side is the Adjacent.

The Pythagorean Theorem is used for right angled triangle, that is, triangles that have one of their angles equal to 90 degrees.

The side of the triangle that is directly opposite the right angle or 90 degrees is called the hypotenuse. It is normally the longest side of the right angle triangle.

The Pythagoras theorem thus states that the sum of the squares of each of the respective other sides of a right angled triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse. In mathematical terms, if the two other sides are a and b respectively,

a² + b² = (hyp)²

For each of the triangles,

a = 4

b = 3

hyp = x

a² + b² = (hyp)²

4² + 3² = x²

x² = 16 + 9

x² = 25

x = √25

x = 5 units

Markup = $22.63

Markup = Sell Price - Cost

Sell Price = Cost + Markup

Sell Price = 18.86+ 22.63
