If AC = 40, find the length of JK.

If AC = 40, Find The Length Of JK.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

JK = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Δ BKJ and Δ BCA are similar triangles and ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

[tex]\frac{JK}{AC}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{BK}{BC}[/tex] , substitute values

[tex]\frac{JK}{40}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )

5JK = 120 ( divide both sides by 5 )

JK = 24

Answer 2

the triangles are all similar, because they have proportional sides and equal angles.

if you assume the smallest, equal part of side to be x

the biggest triangle has "5 parts" so BC=5x and BK has 3 parts so BK=3x .

since they're similar, ratio of their corresponding sides is constant or equal.

[tex] {BK\over BC}={JK \over AC}[/tex]

BK/BC=3/5

and AC=40

so JK = 40*3/5=24

You need to prepare 30mL solution of a 1:8 syrup solution. You have on hand 50% syrup solution and a 1:20 soda solution. How many mL of each solution do you need to create the final solution?

Answers

Answer:

5 ml of 50% syrup solution will be used to create the final solution

Step by step Explanation:

Let the amount of 50% solution that was used = b

Which means ( 30 - b ) is the amount of 1/200 solution used then we can derive an equation as follows,

set up will then be,

0.5b +0.05(30 -b) = 1/8 (30)

We can simplifiy this as

0.5b+ 1.5 -0.05b = 3.75

Then make b the subject of the formula we have

0.45b = 2.25

b= 2.25/0.45

b = 5 ml

Therefore, 5ml of 50% syrup solution will be used to create the final solution

What is the height of the ball at each second from 0 to 5? (I'll put a picture of the graph.) 2) Which expression could represent the height of a soccer ball as it is in the air after being kicked? (This is part 2 to question 1) A. −16t+9 B. −16t2+4t3 C. 9t2+25t D. −16t2+25t+1

Answers

Answer:

a or b

Step-by-step explanation:

it just looks like b or a

H(t) = -4.9t^2 + 25t + 2

Height is a function of time

plug in 0, 1,2,3,4, and 5 to find the height at 0, 1,2,3,4, and 5 seconds.

at t = 0

H(0) = -4.9(0)^2+25(0) + 2 = 2 meters

Repeat for T=1,2,3,4 and 5

Notice the ball peaks around t = 3 seconds and starts to descend.  

H(1) = (-4.9)(1^2) + 25(1) + 2 = 22.1 meters

H(2) = (-4.9)(2^2)+25(2)+2=32.4 meters

H(3) = 32.9 meters

H(4) = 23.6 meters

H(5) = 4.5 meters

A caterer needs to know the volume of the remaining cake to determine how many servings she has. What is the volume of the remaining cake?

Answers

Answer: D. 288 in^3

Explanation:

To find volume of the remaining shape:

V (remaining) = V (original shape) - V (taken)

Find Volume of the original shape:

V(original) = 16 x 6 x 4 = 384 in^3

Find the volume of the taken shape:

V(taken) = 8 x 4 x 3 = 96 in^3

Find the volume of the remaining shape:

V (remaining) = 384 - 96 = 288in^3



Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, there!!!

Let's simply work with it,

Firslty let's assume the whole cake, when you assume the cake in whole. you get,

length (l)= 16 in

breadth (d)= 6 in

and height (h)= 4 in

now, as it is a rectangle shaped cake,

volume of a whole cake (v)= l×b×h

or, v= 16 in × 6 in × 4 in.

Therefore, the volume of whole cake is 384 cubic inch.

now,

let's find the volume of eaten part,

As per the picture, the 1/4th part of cake is eaten so,

length = 8 in

breadth = 3in

and height = 4in.

so, volume of eaten part = l × b × h

v= 8in × 3in × 4in

Therefore , v= 96 cubic inch.

now, lastly finding the volume of remaining part,

v. of remaining part = v.of whole cake - v. of eaten part.

or, v. of remaining part = 384 in^3 - 96 in^3

Therefore, the volume of remaining part is 288in^3.

A bus travels from Station A to Station B, and a truck travels from Station B to Station A on the same road. The speed of the bus is 54 km/h, and the speed of the truck is 48 km/h. After they pass each other, they continue drive to the destinations. Once they reach the destination, they turn around to continue travel along the same road. When they meet again, the bus travels 216 km more than the truck. What is the distance between the two stations in kilometers?

Answers

Answer:

The distance between the two train stations is 1728 km

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed of the bus = 54 km/h

The speed of the truck = 48 km/h

When the bus and truck meet again, the distance covered by the bus = 216 km more than he distance traveled by the truck

Let the distance between the two train stations = x

Let the location where they first meet be y from station A we have;

The location where they meet again = y - 216 km

Therefore, we have;

Location where they

The time for the truck and the bus to meet again = t

Therefore, 54 × t - 48 × t = 216 km

6·t = 216 km

t = 36 hours

Therefore, the time for the bus to travel x + 216 km = 36 hours

54 × 36 = 1944 = x + 216

x = 1944 - 216 = 1728 km

The distance between the two train stations = 1728 km.

A radioactive substance decays exponentially. A scientist begins with 350 milligrams of a radioactive substance. After 14 hours, 175 mg of the substance remains. How many milligrams will remain after 20 hours

Answers

Answer:

N(t)=N∗.5t/h where n(t) is amount of substance left, N = initial amount, t = current time, and h = half-life time.h = 24 hours t= 45 hours, N = 130mg

therefore, N(t)=130∗.545/24=35.44mg

Step-by-step explanation:

N(t)=N∗.5t/h where n(t) is amount of substance left, N = initial amount, t = current time, and h = half-life time.h = 24 hours t= 45 hours, N = 130mg

therefore, N(t)=130∗.545/24=35.44mg

Answer:

≈ 130 mg

Step-by-step explanation:

This is about the half-life of the substance.

There is a formula for this kind of calculations:

N(t)= N₀*(0.5)^(t/T), where

N(t) = substance left after time period of t,t = time passed,N₀ = initial amount of the substance,T = hal-life time of the given substance.

In our case, we have:

N₀ = 350 mg,t= 20 hours,T = 14 hours  as half of substance decays during this time period,

And the calculation:

N(20)= 350*(0.5)^(20/14)N(20) ≈ 130 mg

Answer: about 130 mg of substance remains after 20 hours

Which point would be a solution to the system of linear inequalities shown below? {see image for inequalities}

(-10, -2)
(−5,2)
(10,7)
(10,−2)

Answers

Answer:

(10, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The inequalities are:

y < x - 7               (1)

y < (1/5)x - 2        (2)

To solve this problem, we have to solve both equations simultaneously and then find the value of x and y that makes the inequality true.

To solve the inequality, subtract inequality (2) from inequality (1) which gives:

0 < (4/5) x - 5

-(4/5)x < -5

Dividing both sides of the equation by -4/5 gives:

-(4/5)x / (-4/5) < -5/ (-4/5)

x > 6.25

Put x > 6.2 in inequality 1

y < 6.25 - 7

y < -0.75

The solution of the inequality is x > 6.25 and y < -0.75

From the list of option, the correct answer is (10, -2) since 10 > 6.25 and -2 < -0.75
