if b is the midpoint of ac and if c is the midpoint of bd, then what percent of cd is ac
Answers
Answer:
ac is 200% of cd
Step-by-step explanation:
To answer this question, we shall be making a visual representation.
Let’s take it one at a time.
Given;
b is the midpoint of ac
a b c
What this means is that a-b represents 50%, while bc represents another 50%
okay, we move on:
c is the midpoint of bd
b c d
What this means is that bc is 50%, while cd is another 50%.
So let’s combine the representations;
a 50% b 50% c 50% d
Now what does the question says again?
What percent of cd is ac?
From a to c, we can see two 50% which means 100%
while cd is just the regular 50%
So we can see that ac is actually twice cd
What we are saying here is , if cd is x, then ac is 2x
So we can restructure our question to mean, what percent of x is 2x?
That is simply 2x/x * 100 and that is 200%
Answer: ac is 200% of cd

Identify any transformations that are used in each image below.
Some images may have multiple answers so make sure to include them all.
-Reflections - how many lines of symmetry and what specific type: vertical (y-axis), horizontal (x-axis), diagonal (y=x or y=-x)
-Rotations - of which order or how many degrees/angle of rotation
Answers
a. Reflectional symmetry only. The mirror line is vertical along the center of the sunglasses. The left half mirrors over this line to get the right half, and vice versa. There isn't any rotational symmetry because we can't rotate the glasses (some angle between 0 and 360 exclusive of both endpoints) to have the image be the same as the preimage.
---------------------
b. Rotational symmetry only. The puzzle can be rotated 90 degrees and the before and after image will be the exact same. There isn't any reflectional symmetry here.
----------------------
c. Reflectional symmetry and rotational symmetry. Effectively a combination of parts a) and b). We have a horizontal line of symmetry to go with a vertical one. The angle of rotation is 180 degrees.
----------------------
d. Reflectional symmetry and rotational symmetry. Similar to part c). This time the angle of rotation is 360/3 = 120 degrees. There are 3 lines of symmetry and they all pass through a vertex of the triangle, and the symmetry lines are perpendicular to the opposite side.
----------------------
e. Reflectional symmetry and rotational symmetry. We can rotate 180 degrees and not change the image. There are two lines of symmetry which pass through the center, one line is horizontal and the other vertical.
-----------------------
f. Rotational symmetry only. We don't have reflectional symmetry due to the smaller petals not matching up when reflections happen. But we can rotate the figure 120 degrees the same way we can with figure d.
Ruben goes to a shop to buy 24.5m of cloth and 13.5m ribbon. The cloth costs Rs.85.40 per metre and the ribbon costs Rs.8.5 per metre. If he pays Rs. 2300 to the shopkeeper, how much money will he get back?
Answers
Answer:
Rs.92.95
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following :
Metres of cloth purchased = 24.5m
Metres of ribbon = 13.5m
Cost of cloth per metre = Rs.85.40
Cost of Ribbon per metre = Rs.8.50
Total amount given to shopkeeper = Rs. 2300
how much money will he get back?
Total cost of cloth:
Cost per metre * number of metres
85.40 * 24.5 = Rs. 2092.30
Total cost of Ribbon :
Cost per metre * number of metres
8.50 * 13.5 = Rs. 114.75
Total cost of goods purchased :
Rs. (2092.30 + 114.75) = Rs. 2,207.05
Amount of change :
Rs. (2300 - 2207.05) = Rs.92.95

Answer:

The standard from of equation of a line written in slope-intercept format is expressed as y = mx+c where c is the slope of the line and c is the y-intercept.
Given the equation of the line x+3y = 10, to get the slope of the line, we need write he equation in standard from first by making y the subject of the formula as shown;
[tex]x+3y = 10\\\\subtract\ x \ from \ both \ sides\\\\x+3y-x = 10 -x\\\\3y = -x+10\\\\Divide \ through\ by \ 3\\\\\frac{3y}{3} = -\frac{x}{3} +\frac{10}{3} \\\\[/tex]
[tex]y = -\frac{1}{3}(x) +\frac{10}{3} \\[/tex]
Comparing the resulting equation with y = mx+c, the slope 'm' of the equation is -1/3
The slope of the line is -1/3.
the correct option is D.
To find the slope of the line given by the equation x + 3y = 10, we need to rewrite it in slope-intercept form, which is y = mx + b, where m represents the slope.
Let's rearrange the equation to solve for y:
x + 3y = 10
3y = -x + 10
y = (-1/3)x + 10/3
Comparing this equation to the slope-intercept form, we can see that the coefficient of x (-1/3) represents the slope.
Therefore, the slope of the line is -1/3.

Step-by-step explanation:
From the graph attached,
Quadrilateral USTR has been transformed to get the image quadrilateral U'S'T'R'.
Coordinates of point U → (-2, 6)
Coordinates of point U' → (3, 3)
Coordinates of U and U' show that quadrilateral USTR has been shifted by 5 units to the right and 3 units down.
Rule to be followed for the translation,
U(-2, 6) → U'[(-2 + 5), (6 - 3)]
U(x, y) → U'[(x + 5), (y - 3)]

If the angles a°&b° are complements of each other, then a°+b°= 90° 180° 270° 360°
Answers
Answer:
a + b = 90°
Step-by-step explanation:
If sum of two angles are 90°, then the two angles are complementary
Angles that are complements form corners. I've bolded the "co" letters to help remember that complementary angles form a 90 degree corner. Whereas supplementary angles form a straight line (both "supplementary" and "straight" start with "S"). So that's one way to remember the two terms.
Anyways, if a and b are complements of each other, then a+b = 90.

Answers
Answer:
The correct option is (C).
Step-by-step explanation:
The claim made by the golf analyst is:
Claim: The standard deviation of the 18-hole scores for a golfer is at most 3.5 strokes.
A standard deviation test is to be performed.
The hypothesis for the test will be defined as follows:
H₀: The standard deviation of the 18-hole scores for a golfer is 3.5 strokes, i.e. σ = 3.5.
Hₐ: The standard deviation of the 18-hole scores for a golfer is at most 3.5 strokes, i.e. σ ≤ 3.5.
Thus, the correct option is (C).
What are the possible steps involved in solving the equation shown? Select three options. 3.5 + 1.2(6.3 – 7x) = 9.38 Add 3.5 and 1.2. Distribute 1.2 to 6.3 and –7x . Combine 6.3 and –7x . Combine 3.5 and 7.56. Subtract 11.06 from both sides. Mark this and return Save and Exit Next Submit
Answers
Answer:
1) Distribute 1.2 to 6.3 and -7x
2)Combine 3.5 and 7.56
3)Subtract 11.06 from both sides
Step-by-step explanation:
3.5 + 1.2(6.3 - 7x) = 9.38
Distribute 1.2 to 6.3 and -7x
3.5 + 1.2* 6.3 - 1.2 * 7x = 9.38
3.5 + 7.56 - 8.4x = 9.38
Combine 3.5 and 7.56
11.06 - 8.4x = 9.38
Subtract 11.06 from both sides
11.06 - 8.4x -11.06 = 9.38 - 11.06
-8.4x = -1.68
To find solution:
Divide both sides by (-8.4)
-8.4x/-8.4 = -1.68/-8.4

While traveling in England, Sonia noticed that the price of gas was 1.4 pints per liter. She wondered how that compares to the price of gas in Atlanta, where she lives. On that day, the exchange rate was £1= $1.56. Set up and evaluate a conversion expression to find the equivalent price in dollars per gallon. Use the conversion factor 1L=0.26 gal.
Answers
Answer:
The price in dollars per gallon is 8.4
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio is a comparison between two quantities that is made using a quotient. In other words, a ratio is a comparison between two or more quantities that can be expressed as a fraction. If the quantities to be compared are a and b, the ratio between them is written as: [tex]\frac{a}{b}[/tex]
You know that the price in England is 1.4 pounds per liter and the current exchange rate is 1 pound = 1.65 dollars. So, being the following reasons:
[tex]\frac{1.4 pounds}{1 liter}[/tex][tex]\frac{1.56 dollars}{1 pound}[/tex]and being the conversion factor 1 L = 0.26 gal expressed as a ratio:
[tex]\frac{1 liter}{0.26 gal}[/tex]you can see that the expression to find the equivalent price in dollars per gallon is:
[tex]\frac{1.4 pounds}{1 liter}*\frac{1.56 dollars}{1 pound}*\frac{1 liter}{0.26 gal}[/tex]
Taking into account that all unwanted units of measure are canceled and solving:
[tex]\frac{1.4 pounds}{1 liter}*\frac{1.56 dollars}{1 pound}*\frac{1 liter}{0.26 gal}=\frac{2.184 dollars}{0.26gal}= 8.4 \frac{dollars}{gal}[/tex]
The price in dollars per gallon is 8.4

Answer:
x = -4 + 3 i or x = -4 - 3 i
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x:
(x + 4)/(x + 5) = (x - 5)/(2 x)
Hint: | Multiply both sides by a polynomial to clear fractions.
Cross multiply:
2 x (x + 4) = (x - 5) (x + 5)
Hint: | Write the quadratic polynomial on the left hand side in standard form.
Expand out terms of the left hand side:
2 x^2 + 8 x = (x - 5) (x + 5)
Hint: | Write the quadratic polynomial on the right hand side in standard form.
Expand out terms of the right hand side:
2 x^2 + 8 x = x^2 - 25
Hint: | Move everything to the left hand side.
Subtract x^2 - 25 from both sides:
x^2 + 8 x + 25 = 0
Hint: | Using the quadratic formula, solve for x.
x = (-8 ± sqrt(8^2 - 4×25))/2 = (-8 ± sqrt(64 - 100))/2 = (-8 ± sqrt(-36))/2:
x = (-8 + sqrt(-36))/2 or x = (-8 - sqrt(-36))/2
Hint: | Express sqrt(-36) in terms of i.
sqrt(-36) = sqrt(-1) sqrt(36) = i sqrt(36):
x = (-8 + i sqrt(36))/2 or x = (-8 - i sqrt(36))/2

x = (-8 + i×6)/2 or x = (-8 - i×6)/2
Hint: | Factor the greatest common divisor (gcd) of -8, 6 i and 2 from -8 + 6 i.
Factor 2 from -8 + 6 i giving -8 + 6 i:
x = 1/2-8 + 6 i or x = (-8 - 6 i)/2
Hint: | Cancel common terms in the numerator and denominator.
(-8 + 6 i)/2 = -4 + 3 i:
x = -4 + 3 i or x = (-8 - 6 i)/2
Hint: | Factor the greatest common divisor (gcd) of -8, -6 i and 2 from -8 - 6 i.
Factor 2 from -8 - 6 i giving -8 - 6 i:
x = -4 + 3 i or x = 1/2-8 - 6 i
Hint: | Cancel common terms in the numerator and denominator.
(-8 - 6 i)/2 = -4 - 3 i:
Answer: x = -4 + 3 i or x = -4 - 3 i
