In the diagram below of triangle NPQ, R is a midpoint of NP and S is a midpoint of PQ. If RS 15 - x, and NQ = 9x - 36, what is the measure of NQ?
Answers
The triangle midpoint theorem is as stated above.
In our case,
RS is joining the midpoints of NP and PQ.
Hence by the triangle midpoint theorem,
[tex]\begin{gathered} RS\parallel NQ\text{ and } \\ RS=\frac{1}{2}NQ \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore,
triangle PRS is similar to triangle PNQ.
This means that the ratios of their corresponding sides are equal.
[tex]\frac{NQ}{RS}=\frac{NP}{RP}[/tex]Since R is the midpoint of NP then
[tex]\frac{NP}{RP}=2[/tex]Therefore,
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{NQ}{RS}=2 \\ \Rightarrow NQ=2RS \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence,
[tex]\begin{gathered} 9x-36=2(15-x) \\ \Rightarrow9x-36=30-2x \\ \Rightarrow9x+2x=30+36 \\ \Rightarrow11x=66 \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{66}{11}=6 \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} \text{ Therefore,} \\ NQ=9x-36 \\ \text{gives} \\ NQ=9(6)-36=54-36=18 \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence the measure of NQ is 18

The question states as follows;
"The cube root of r varies inversely with the square of s."
The general form of an inverse relationship is shown below;
[tex]y=\frac{k}{x}[/tex]Substituting the variables, we would now have;
[tex]\sqrt[3]{r}=\frac{k}{s^2}[/tex]Therefore, the third option is correct.
Also;
[tex]\begin{gathered} \sqrt[3]{r}=\frac{k}{s^2} \\ \text{Observe that}_{} \\ \sqrt[3]{r}=r^{\frac{1}{3}} \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, we can alo have the expression;

The correct option is S.
A parallelogram has a height of 7 meters and an area of 35 square meters. what would the sum of the bases be for a trapezoid with the same height and area as the parallelogram?
Answers
The height of trapezoid is h = 7 m.
The area of trapezoid is A = 35 m^2.
The formula for the area of trapezoid is,
[tex]A=\frac{a+b}{2}\cdot h[/tex]Here, a and b are length of bases of trapezoid.
Substitute the values in the formula to obtain the sum of bases of trapezoid.
[tex]\begin{gathered} 35=\frac{a+b}{2}\cdot7 \\ \frac{a+b}{2}=\frac{35}{7} \\ a+b=5\cdot2 \\ =10 \end{gathered}[/tex]So sum of bases of trapezoid is equal to 10 meters.

Probability is simply the chance that something will happen. Whenever the outcome of an event is uncertain, we can speak of the probability, or likelihood, of a particular outcome. Analyzing events according to their probabilities is called statistics.
A probability sentence is a declarative sentence in which the term probability or one of its derivatives occurs. The modern mathematical theory of probability has its roots in the gambling experiments of his Gerolamo Cardano in 1654, Blaise Pascal and Pierre de Fermat laid the basic foundations of probability theory, making them the fathers of probability.

What is the volume of this cone? Use 3.14 and round your answer to the nearest hundredth. 38 mm cubic millimeters
Answers
ANSWER
[tex]V=7179.09\operatorname{mm}[/tex]EXPLANATION
We are given the height of the cone as 19 mm and the diameter of its base as 38 mm.
The volume of a cone is given as:
[tex]V=\frac{1}{3}\pi\cdot r^2h[/tex]where r =radius; h = height
The diameter of a circle (the base of a cone) is twice the radius. Therefore:
[tex]\begin{gathered} D=2r \\ r=\frac{D}{2} \\ r=\frac{38}{2} \\ r=19\operatorname{mm} \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the volume of the cone is:

the equation of the second line:
[tex]y=2x-2[/tex]so, the slope of the second line = 2
Comparing the slopes of the lines:

2) the product of the slopes = 1/2 * 2 = 1
So, the lines are not perpendicular

It's easy to see that to obtain the total of milliliters of rainwater that Suzan collected on Saturday and Sunday is the sum of the milliliters that Suzan collected each day.
The problem that we need to be careful about is the units. So we need to pass all the numbers to milliliters, we already have one in this unit then we just need to transform one:
[tex]3.5L\ast\frac{1000mL}{1L}=3500mL[/tex]Now we can use the sum as:

From the question, there is a direct variation between kg of water in the human body and the mass of the body
Let the mass be m and the amount of water be w
By direct variation, with k as the proportionality constant, we have it that:
