1200 mm long and 800 mm wide. What is the area in square meters

Answers

Answer: [tex]0.96\ m^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We can make the conversion from milimeters to meters (Remember that [tex]1m=1,000\ mm[/tex]). Then:

[tex]1,200\ mm[/tex] to [tex]m[/tex]:

[tex](1,200\ mm)(\frac{1\ m}{1,000\ mm})=1.2\ m[/tex]

[tex]800\ mm[/tex] to [tex]m[/tex]:

[tex](800\ mm)(\frac{1\ m}{1,000\ mm})=0.8\ m[/tex]

Now, we need to use this formula for calculate the area of a rectangle:

[tex]A=lw[/tex]

Where "l" is the lenght and "w" is the width.

Knowing that:

[tex]l=1.2\ m\\w=0.8\ m[/tex]

We can substitute values into the formula. Then we get:

[tex]A=(1.2\ m)(0.8\ m)\\\\A=0.96\ m^2[/tex]

Final answer:

The area of the rectangular shape is 0.96 square meters.

Explanation:

To find the area of a rectangle, we multiply its length by its width. Given that the length is 1200 mm and the width is 800 mm, we can convert these measurements to meters by dividing each measurement by 1000. So, the length in meters is 1.2 m and the width in meters is 0.8 m. To find the area in square meters, we multiply the length and width in meters: Area = 1.2 m × 0.8 m = 0.96 m².

simplify the following fraction 2/5+4/6-1/3

Answers

Answer:

11/15

Step-by-step explanation:

First, get a common denominator of 30. 2/5 becomes 12/30. 4/6 becomes 20/30. 1/3 becomes 10/30.

Now we can add and subtract accordingly.

12/30 + 20/30 = 32/30.

32/30 - 10/30 = 22/30.

Finally, simplify the fraction.

22/30 becomes 11/15 when each number is divided by 2.

Answer: [tex]\frac{11}{15}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to find the Least Common Denominator of  the fractions. Descompose each denominator into its prime factors and muliply the commons and non-commons with the least exponent. Then:

[tex]5=5\\6=2*3\\3=3\\\\LCD=2*5*3=30[/tex]

Divide each denominator by the LCD and multiply this quotient by the corresponding numerator, add the products and then reduce the fraction.

Therefore you get:

[tex]=\frac{(2*6)+(4*5)-(1*10)}{30}=\frac{12+20-10}{30}=\frac{22}{30}=\frac{11}{15}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Take the natural log of both sides, obtaining:

   -0.20x + ln 3.80 = ln 2

2)  Group the ln terms on the right side:  -0.20x = ln 2 - ln 3.80

3)  Find the natural logs of 2 and 3.80 and combine them:  -0.408, so that we have 0.20x = 0.408.

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\frac{12x^ay^b}{-6x^ay}[/tex]

In multiplication of fractions you can do this:

[tex]\frac{a}{c} \cdot \frac{b}{d}=\frac{a \cdot b}{c \dot d} \text{ or the other way around } \frac{a \cdot b}{c \dot d}=\frac{a}{c} \cdot \frac{b}{d}[/tex].

So that is exactly what we are going to do here:

[tex]\frac{12x^ay^b}{-6x^ay}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{12}{-6} \cdot \frac{x^a}{x^a} \cdot \frac{y^b}{y}[/tex]

We know that 12 divided by -6=12/-6 =-2.

We also know assuming x isn't 0 that x^a/x^a=1.

On the last fraction, the only thing you can do there to simplify is use the following law of exponents: [tex]\frac{v^m}{v^n}=v^{m-n}[/tex].

So we have

he heights of △ABC are drawn from vertices A and C. These heights intersect at point M. Find m∠AMC, if m∠A=70° and m∠C=80°.

Answers

Answer: 150°

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given triangle ABC ∠A=70°, ∠C=80°

therefore ∠B=180-(∠A+∠C)=180-(70+80)  [sum angle property of triangle]

⇒∠B=30°

Now, heights(altitude) are drawn from vertices A and C on respective bases

they intersect at a point M. Also, we know that heights are perpendicular on the bases.

Also, point of intersection of altitudes is called orthocenter.

Now since M is orthocenter,    ∠ABC+∠AMC=180° (property of orthocenter in a triangle)

⇒30°+∠AMC=180°

⇒∠AMC=180°-30°=150°

Hence in the triangle ABC, ∠AMC=150°

An estate of $656,000is left to three siblings. The eldest receives 6 times as much as the youngest. The middle sibling receives $15,000 more than the youngest. How much did each receive?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is the amount the eldest receives, y is the amount the middle receives, and z is the amount the youngest receives, then:

x + y + z = 656000

x = 6z

y = z + 15000

Substituting the last two equations into the first:

(6z) + (z + 15000) + z = 656000

8z + 15000 = 656000

8z = 641000

z = 80125

Solving for the remaining variables:

x = 6z = 480750

y = z + 15000 = 95125

The eldest receives $480,750, the middle receives $95,125 and the youngest receives $80,125.

The youngest sibling receives $80,125, the middle sibling gets $95,125, and the eldest receives $480,750 from the $656,000 estate. The distribution complies with the stipulation that the eldest receives 6 times what the youngest does, and the middle sibling receives $15,000 more than the youngest.

The distribution of an estate of $656,000 among three siblings with specific conditions. Let's designate the amount the youngest sibling receives as y. According to the provided information, the eldest sibling receives 6 times as much as the youngest, meaning they receive 6y. The middle sibling receives y + $15,000. To find out how much each sibling receives, we need to solve the equation: y + 6y + (y + $15,000) = $656,000.

Add up the terms containing y: 8y + $15,000 = $656,000. Subtract $15,000 from both sides: 8y = $641,000. Divide both sides by 8 to find y:
y = $80,125.

Now, calculate each sibling's share:

The youngest receives y, which is $80,125.

The middle sibling receives y + $15,000, which is $95,125.

The eldest receives 6y, which is $480,750.

These calculations ensure that the total is $656,000, distributed according to the stipulated conditions.

Answer: The sequence is: An = -2*8^(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

 geometric sequence is of the form:

An = a*r^(n-1)

where can be any positive integer number.

here the first two numbers are -2 and -16, so we have that:

A1 = a*r^(0) = a = -2

now, we know that our sequence is of the form:

An = -2*r^(n-1)

now, for n= 2 we have that:

A2 = -2*r^(1) = -2*r = -16

r = -16/-2 = 8

now we have determinated our sequence:

An = -2*8^(n-1)

While shopping at the grocery store, Dan decides to estimate the amount of money he will have to pay for the items he wants to buy. He rounds the individual price of each item to the nearest dollar and then adds up the numbers in his head. Dan adds the following items to his shopping cart: one carton of milk for $\$3.58$, one box of cookies for $\$2.97$, one loaf of bread for $\$2.17$, and one pineapple for $\$2.54$. According to Dan's estimate, how many dollars will he be spending at the store?

Answers

Answer:

12 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Mile  3.58  rounds to 4 dollars

cookies 2.97 rounds to 3 dollars

bread 2.17 rounds to 2 dollars

pineapple 2.54 rounds to 3 dollars

Adding the whole dollar amounts

4+3+2+3 = 12 dollars

Solution:

Dan will round the price of each item to the nearest dollar. So, the price of milk is rounded to $4, the price of cookies is rounded to $3, the price of bread is rounded to $2, and the pineapple's price is rounded to $3. Adding these numbers up, we get 4+3+2+3=12.Therefore, Dan estimates that he will spend about 12 dollars at the store.

Graph the linear equation. Find three points that solve the equation, then plot then on the graph.
x -3y= -6​

Answers

Answer:

So you will want to graph the following 3 points:

(0,2)

(3,3)

(-3,1)

Then connect the points.

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the equation x-3y=-6.

I'm going to solve for y once so I don't have to do it 3 times when choosing a value for x.

x-3y=-6

Subtract x on both sides:

 -3y=-x-6

Divide both sides by -3:

   [tex]y=\frac{-x}{-3}+\frac{-6}{-3}[/tex]

Simplify where you can:

  [tex]y=\frac{1}{3}x+2[/tex]

So since this in the slope-intercept form, y=mx+b where slope is m and b is y-intercept we have that (0,2) is on our line.  If you plug in 0, you will get 2 like this y=1/3 (0)+2=0+2=2.  

Now I'm going to choose easy values to plug in, ones that are divisible by 3 since x is being multiplied by 1/3.

So if x=3, then [tex]y=\frac{1}{3}(3)+2=1+2=3[/tex], so (3,3) is on the line.

So if x=-3, then [tex]y=\frac{1}{3}(-3)+2=-1+2=1[/tex]. so (-3,1) is on the line.

So you will want to graph the following 3 points:

AD and MN are chords that intersect at point B what is the length of line segment MN?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]MN=18\ units[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The Intersecting Chord Theorem, states that When two chords intersect each other inside a circle, the products of their segments are equal.

so

In this problem

[tex]AB*BD=MB*BN[/tex]

substitute

[tex](9)(x+1)=(x-1)(15)\\ \\9x+9=15x-15\\ \\15x-9x=9+15\\ \\ 6x=24\\ \\x=4\ units[/tex]

Find the length of line segment MN

[tex]MN=MB+BN=(x-1)+15=x+14[/tex]

substitute the value of x

[tex]MN=4+14=18\ units[/tex]

Answer:

MN = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

AD and MN are two chords intersecting inside the circle at point B.

As we know from intersecting chords theorem.

AB × BD = BN × BM

So 9(x-1)  = 15 (x-1)

9x + 9  = 15x - 15

15x - 9x = 15 + 9

6x = 24

x = 4

and MN = (x-1) + 15

             = (x + 14)

             = 4 + 14 ( By putting x = 4 )

             = (18)

Therefore, MN = 18 is the answer.
