An ant needs to travel along a 20cm × 20cm cube to get from point A to point B. What is the shortest path he can take, and how long will it be (in cm)?

An Ant Needs To Travel Along A 20cm 20cm Cube To Get From Point A To Point B. What Is The Shortest Path

Answers

Answer 1

Each edge of the cube is 20cm. If it stayed on the edges it would need to walk on 3 edges for a total distance of 3 x 20 = 60 cm.

If it walked diagonally across the front face and then one edge it would travel:

Diagonal = sqrt(20^2 + 20^2) = 28.28

Total distance waling a diagonal and then an edge = 28.28 + 20 = 48.28 cm

The shortest distance would be diagonally across the front face then the edge to point B and the distance would be 48.28 cm.

Which of the following describes a change in a shape's position or size?
A. reflection symmetry
B. image
O C. transformation
D. rotational symmetry

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is;

C. Transformation

Step-by-step explanation:

In mathematics, transformation refers to the relocation of an object called the pre-image from initial position to another new location at which point the object will be known as the image whereby there is a one to one mapping from each point on the pre-image to the image

The types of transformation includes reflection, rotation, and translation which involve changes in position and dilation, which involves changes in the size of the pre-image.

What is a21 of the arithmetic sequence for which a7=−19 and a10=−28? A. -35 B. 35 C. -58 D. -61

Answers

Answer:

a21 = -61

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]a_{n}=a_{1}+(n-1)d[/tex]

[tex]-19=a_{1}+(7-1)d[/tex]

[tex]-28=a_{1}+(10-1)d[/tex] (subtract to eliminate a₁)

9 = -3d

d = -3

-19 = a₁ + (6)(-3)

-1 = a

a21 = -1 + (21 - 1)(-3)

= -61

Answer:

-61 (Answer D)

Step-by-step explanation:

The general formula for an arithmetic sequence with common difference d and first term a(1) is

a(n) = a(1) + d(n - 1)

Therefore, a(7) = -19 = a(1) + d(7 - 1), or a(7) = a(1) + d(6) = -19

and a(10) = a(1) + d(10 - 1) = -28, or a(1) + d(10 - 1) = -28

Solving the first equation a(1) + d(6) = -19 for a(1) yields a(1) = -19 - 6d.  We substitute this result for a(1) in the second equation:

-19 - 6d + 9d = -28.  Grouping like terms together, we get:

3d = -9, and so d = -3.

Going back to an earlier result:  a(1) = -19 - 6d.

Here, a(1) = -19 - 6(-3), or a(1) = -1.

Then the formula specifically for this case is a(n) = -1 - 3(n - 1)

and so a(21) = -1 - 3(20) = -61 (Answer D)

You check 20 batteries.Fourteen of the batteries do not have a charge. What is the experimental probability that the next battery you check does not have a charge?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\dfrac{7}{10}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Number of batteries that do not have a charge = 14

Total number of batteries = 20

To find:

Experimental probability that the next battery checked does not have a charge = ?

Solution:

First of all, let us learn about the definition of experimental probability.

Probability is the chances of happening of an event.

Formula for probability of happening of an event E is given as:

[tex]P(E) = \dfrac{\text{Number of favorable cases}}{\text {Total number of cases}}[/tex]

Here we have to find the probability of checking a battery that has no charge.

So, number of favorable cases = Number of batteries that do not have a charge = 14

AND

Total Number of cases = Total number of batteries to be checked = 20

So, the required probability is:

[tex]\dfrac{14}{20} = \bold{\dfrac{7}{10}}[/tex]

If we had repeated x values, then that is a sign we don't have a function. So for instance, if we had the two points (1,5) and (1,6) then we don't have a function because the input x = 1 corresponds to outputs y = 5 and y = 6 simultaneously.

please help!!! which of these illustrates the associative property of multiplication?​

Answers

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The association property of multiplication states that if we have three numbers such as:

[tex]a\cdot b\cdot c[/tex]

Then the order of parentheses will not matter. In other words:

[tex](a\cdot b)\cdot c=a\cdot (b\cdot c)[/tex]

For instance:

[tex](3\cdot4)\cdot5=3\cdot(4\cdot5)[/tex]

For the choices, it must have at least three terms. Thus, eliminate A.

It must also have parentheses. Eliminate D.

Choice C represents the distributive property, where you distribute a factor into the expression.

Thus, the correct answer is choice B.

And as previously mentioned, the order of the parentheses does not make the product any different.

[tex]6*(9*1)=6*(9)=54\\(6*9)*1=(54)*1=54[/tex]

Answer:

The correct answer choice is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The digits should still be in order, so A is incorrect. 6 * 91 does not even equal 69 * 1!

B shows that be can multiply 6 * 9 * 1 in any order. This means we can place a pair of parentheses around any of these numbers and the answer will still be the same.

C is incorrect. We want an equation that helps give us a better understanding of MULTIPLICATION, not ADDITION. The equation is also false.

Finally, D illustrates the commutative property of multiplication- you can multiply your numbers in any order and it will still have the same value. Put simply, it's incorrect.

In the Rhombus, m<3=80. Find m<2

160
80
50
40

Answers

Answer: C. 50

==============================================

Explanation:

The diagonal cuts the rhombus into two congruent isosceles triangles. We know they are isosceles because the non-diagonal sides are equal in length (since all four sides of a rhombus are the same length).

Let x be the measure of angle 1. This is one base angle. The other base angle is also x as well. The third angle of the bottom triangle is angle 3, which is given to us at 80 degrees. For any triangle the three angles always add to 180.

x+x+80 = 180

2x+80 = 180

2x = 180-80

2x = 100

x = 100/2

x = 50

Angle 1 is therefore 50 degrees.

Angle 2 is also 50 degrees because angles 1 and 2 are congruent alternate interior angles. Any rhombus is a parallelogram (but not the other way around) so the top and bottom lines of the rhombus are parallel, allowing the alternate interior angles to be congruent.

Answer:

m<2 = m<1 = 50°

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Rhombus, Diagonals intersect at 90° as well bisect angles.

Therefore, in a triangle formed by <1, 90° at the diagonal intersection and angle bisection of <3 = 40°.

m<1 = m<2 = 50°

A line passes through the point (4,8) and has a slope of -3/2

Write an equation in Ax+By=C

Answers

Answer:

The answer is

3x + 2y = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

To find an equation of the line using a point and the slope we use the formula

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

where

m is the slope

(x1 , y1) is the point

From the question

slope = -3/2

Point = (4,8)

So the equation of the line is

[tex]y - 8 = - \frac{3}{2} (x - 4)[/tex]

Multiply through by 2

2y - 16 = -3( x - 4)

2y - 16 = - 3x + 12

3x + 2y = 16 + 12

We have the final answer as

3x + 2y = 28

( 7+x+2) * 7 = ( 6+8) * 6

Combine like terms

(9+x) *7 = 14*6

Distribute

Subtract 63

63 +7x -63 = 84-63

7x =21

Divide by 7

x = 3

KM = x+2+7

      = 3+2+7

      =12

Answer:

[tex]\huge\boxed{KM = 11}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

According to secant - secant theorem:

(MK)(ML) = (MR)(MN)

Where

MK = 7 + x+ 2 = x + 9

ML = 7

MR = 8 + 6 = 14

MN = 6

=> (x+9)(7)= (14)(6)

=> 7x + 63 = 84

Subtracting both sides by 63

=> 7x = 84 - 63

=> 7x = 21

Dividing both sides by 7

=> x = 3

Now,

KM = x + 9

KM = 3 + 9

KM = 11

Answers

Answer:

a. 1.25

b . 0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a question in scale factors

a. The sable factor that takes P to Q

In P, we are having sides 4, 2 and 3

In Q, we are having sides 2.5 and 5

From the diagrams and using the similar sides, we can see that the side length 4 became 5 while the side length 2 became 2.5

So the scale factor would be;

4 * x = 5

or

2 * x = 2.5

Where x is that dilation factor that transformed 4 into 5

Thus, x would be 5/4 or 2.5/2 = 1.25

b. The scale factor that takes Q to P

This is the direct opposite of what we have in the first question.

Here, we want to go from Q to P

To get this, we simply divide what we have in P by what we had in Q

Hence, what we do here is;

Quadrilateral ABCD has coordinates A (3, 1), B (4, 4), C (7, 5), D (6, 2). Quadrilateral ABCD is a (4 points)

Answers

Answer:

Quadrilateral ABCD is a SQUARE

Step-by-step explanation:

When we are given coordinates (x1, x2) and (y1 , y2) for a Quadrilateral, we solve for the sides using this formula.

√(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²

A (3, 1), B (4, 4), C (7, 5), D (6, 2)

Side AB = A (3, 1), B (4, 4)

√(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²

= √(4 - 3)² + (4 - 1)²

= √1² + 3²

= √1 + 9

= √10

Side BC = B (4, 4), C (7, 5)

√(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²

= √(7 - 4)² + (5 - 4)²

= √3² + 1²

= √9 + 1

= √10

Side CD = C (7, 5), D (6, 2)

√(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²

= √(6 - 7)² + (2 - 5)²

= √(-1) ² + (-3)²

= √1 + 9

= √10

Side AD = A (3, 1), D (6, 2)

√(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²

= √(6 - 3)² + (2 - 1)²

= √3² + 1²

= √9 + 1

= √10

From the above calculation,

Side AB = √10

Side BC = √10

Side CD = √10

Side AD = √10

Hence, AB = BC = CD = AD

When all the side of a Quadrilateral are the same or equal to each other, it means the Quadrilateral is a square.

Therefore, Quadrilateral ABCD is a SQUARE

372 to the nearest 100

Answers

Answer: 400

Explanation: To round 372 to the nearest hundred, we first find the digit in the rounding place which in this case is the 3 in the hundreds place.

To decide whether to round up or down, we look

at the digit to the right of the 3, which is 7.

According to the rules of rounding, if the digit to the right of the

rounding place is greater than or equal to 5, we round up.

So in this problem, since 7 is greater than or equal to 5, we round up.

This means that we add 1 to the 3 in the rounding place

to get 4 and all digits to the right of 4 become 0.

So 372 rounded to the nearest hundred is 400.

Can someone please help me with this question? The y is throwing me off.

Answers

Answers:

x = 21

y = 8

=========================================================

Explanation:

Since the y is giving you trouble, I recommend ignoring it for now. Luckily we don't need the y value at first.

Let's solve for x.

The two angles (10x-61) and (x+10) form a straight angle which is 180 degrees.

So,

(10x-61) + (x+10) = 180

10x-61 + x+10 = 180

11x - 51 = 180

11x-51+51 = 180+51 .... adding 51 to both sides

11x = 231

11x/11 = 231/11 .... dividing both sides by 11

x = 21

Since x = 21, the upper right angle (10x-61) is equal to

10x-61 = 10*21-61 = 210-61 = 149

-------------

We can now focus on the (18y+5) angle. This is set equal to 149 since vertical angles are congruent

18y+5 = 149

18y+5-5 = 149-5 ... subtracting 5 from both sides

18y = 144

18y/18 = 144/18 .... dividing both sides by 18

y = 8

--------------

Or we could add the angles (18y+5) and (x+10), set them equal to 180, and solve for y like that

(18y+5)+(x+10) = 180

18y+5 + x+10 = 180

18y+5+21+10 = 180 .... plug in x = 21

18y+36 = 180

18y+36-36 = 180-36 ... subtract 36 from both sides

18y = 144

18y/18 = 144/18 .... dividing both sides by 18

y = 8

We get the same result.

--------------

As a check, plugging y = 8 into 18y+5 should lead to 149

18y+5 = 18*8+5 = 144+5 = 149

This confirms the y value answer

All the carbon was changed to 7.851 g of CO2, and all the hydrogen was changed to 4.018 g of H2O . What is the empirical formula of the original compound need help will give 5 stars. please can someone help me solve this.. please help!! A practice, favored by unions, which contractually binds employers to hire only workers who are already members of the union is called a(n): Which observation led Mendel to the idea that traits were controlled by more than a single factor? Crossing two purple-flowered pea plants always resulted in a purple-flowered pea plant. Crossing two white-flowered pea plants always resulted in a white-flowered pea plant. A trait that was not seen in the first generation may later reappear in the second generation. A trait that was not seen in the first generation was completely gone and never reappeared. PLEASE HELP, WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST IF CORRECT!!!! (08.06 MC) Mike and his friends bought cheese wafers for $2 per packet and chocolate wafers for $1 per packet at a carnival. They spent a total of $25 to buy a total of 20 packets of wafers of the two varieties. Part A: Write a system of equations that can be solved to find the number of packets of cheese wafers and the number of packets of chocolate wafers that Mike and his friends bought at the carnival. Define the variables used in the equations. (5 points) Part B: How many packets of chocolate wafers and cheese wafers did they buy? Explain how you got the answer and why you selected a particular method to get the answer. (5 points) Dump out half of the particles. Place your hand tightly over the top and shake the container. Then remove most of the remaining particles, and shake the container again. Compared with the full container, which states of matter do these two models most closely represent? Explain.
