Miguel made up an equation for his friend to solve. He told his friend that three times the square of a number is 265", What is the number to the nearest tenth

Answers

The number after rounding off to the nearest tenth will be 9.4

In this question, we have been given that Miguel made up an equation in which three times of square of a particular number equals 265. We have to set up the equation according to this.

Taking the number as 'x'. We get the equation according to the condition :

               => 3x² = 265

By solving this equation we get :

               =>  3x² = 265    =>  x² = 88.3

               => x = 9.39

We get x = 9.39. By rounding off x to the nearest tens, we get x = 9.4

Hence, the number to the nearest tenth will be 9.4

suppose M is the midpoint of FG. find each missing measure.

FM= 8a + 1, FG = 42, a =?

Answers

The value of a is 2.5

As FG is the line and M is the midpoint of the line

  F   ______________·_________________G

                                    M

So by this, we have that

    FG = FM + MG

Where FM = MG as M is the midpoint of the line.

Therefore FG = 2FM

As it is given that FM = 8a + 1 and FG = 42

Now putting the values we have

42 = 2( 8a + 1)

21 = 8a + 1

20 = 8a

a = 2.5

Alberto invests $1,130 in a savings
account with a fixed annual interest rate
compounded 6 times per year. After 8
years, the balance reaches $1,325.71.
What is the interest rate of the account?

Answers

The interest rate of the account is 2%

Compound interest

From the question, we are to determine the interest rate of the account

From the compound interest formula, we have that

A = P(1 + r/n)^{nt}

Where A is the amount

P is the principal

r is the rate

n is the number of times compounded

t is the time in years

From the given information,

A = $1,325.71

P = $1,130

n = 6

t = 8 years

Thus,

1325.71 = 1130(1 + r/6)⁶⁽⁸⁾

1325.71 = 1130( 1 + r/6)⁴⁸

1325.71/1130 = ( 1 + r/6)⁴⁸

Take the 48th root of both sides

1.003333 = 1 + r/6

1.003333 - 1 = r/6

0.003333 = r/6

r = 6 × 0.003333

r = 0.019998

r ≈ 0.02

r ≈ 2%

Hence, the interest rate of the account is 2%.

Quadrilateral ABCD has the following angle measures:

m∠A = 105°, m∠B = ?°, m∠C = 34°, m∠D = 90°

What is m∠B?


pleeeeease help!!

Answers

Answer:

131°

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of all angles of a quadrilateral = 360°

We can find the unknown angle ∠B, by subtracting the sum of the angles ∠A, ∠C, ∠D from 360°.

∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D = 360

105 + ∠B + 34 + 90  = 360

           ∠B +  229      = 360

                     ∠B       = 360 - 229

                           ∠B = 131°

What is a Quadrilateral?

A quadrilateral is a polygon with four sides.

It is of various types,

Trapezoid, which have one pair of parallel sides,

Parallelogram, it has two pairs of parallel sides,

Rhombus, it has all sides equal,

Rectangle, opposite sides are parallel and equal, and,

Square, all sides are equal and opposite sides are parallel, and all angles have measure of 90 degree.

The quadrilateral ABCD is ≅ quadrilateral EFGH

When two figures are congruent then by CPCTC, corresponding parts of congruent figures are congruent.

The measure of the angle

B = m<BCD = 90°

m<BAD = 131°

As the quadrilaterals are congruent,

By CPCTC

∠F = ∠FGH = 90°

m ∠FEH =  131°

The measure of m<GHE has to be determined.

The sum of the measures of all angle so of a quadrilateral is 360 degree.

which costs a total of $84. 14. After buying the calculators, how much does he have left to spend on each student?

Answers

Answer:

he has $6 left.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

$18.99 for each student

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find out how much he spent on each student for the calculators.

We can do that by dividing 84.14, the total, by the number of students, 14:

84.14/14 = 6.01

He spent 6.01 on each student and has 25 for each student, so we can subtract that:

A clothing pattern calls for 4.81 yd2 of fabric. how many square inches of fabric does the pattern use? (note: 1 yd = 3 ft., 1 ft = 12 in.)

Answers

Pattern uses 6233.76 inches² fabric.

Firstly we will convert units in required form. Therefore, converting equivalent of yard² in inches². As per the given information, 1 yard = 3 feet and 1 foot = 12 inches.

As 1 foot = 12 inches, so, 3 feet = 36 inches, which is further equal to 1 yard.

Now, 1 yard² = (36 inches)²

1 yard² = 1296 inches²

Coming back to the problem, we will now calculate inches² from fabric measurement in yard². So, relating the units for conversion.

1 yard² = 1296 inches²

4.81 yard² = 1296 × 4.81

Performing multiplication

Measurement of 4.81 yard² in inches² = 6233.76

Hence, the pattern uses 6233.76 inches² fabric.

Then put up another triangles between the point of tangency of the 7th and 8th spheres, and the point of tangency between the 7th sphere and 2 of the original spheres on different sides of the hexagon. Each triangle's side length should be expressed in terms of r (the sphere's 8 radius) and h. (the height of the first triangle).

Answers

Solving a quadratic equation, it is found that the largest possible value of a is of a = 5.

How to solve a quadratic equation?

A quadratic equation is modeled by the following rule:

y = ax^2 + bx + c

The solutions of the equations are the values of x for which y = 0.

For this problem, the equation is:

a² - 6a - 9 = b.

b = -9 - a, hence we replace in the equation as follows;

a² - 6a - 9 = -9 - a

a² - 5a = 0.

Traditionally, the solutions are given using Bhaskara's formula, however, since the coefficient c is zero, we can solve the equation by elimination as follows:

a² - 5a = 0.

a(a - 5) = 0.

Then the solutions are:

a = 0.a - 5 = 0 -> a = 5.

5 > 0, hence the largest possible value of a is of a = 5.

Answers

The interval to find the true average tip is  (14.62,13.78).

Average is a number that is calculated by adding quantities together and dividing the total by the number of quantities.

The Standard deviation is a measure of the amount of variation or dispersion of a set of values. A low standard deviation indicates that the values tend to be close to the mean of the set, while a high standard deviation indicates that the values are spread out over a wider range

Given:

We know that the confidence interval = sample mean ± standard deviation substitute the values in it then confidence interval = 14.2  ±2.5/(35)^1/2

confidence interval = 14.2 ± 2.5/5.91

confidence interval = 14.2 ± 0.42

confidence interval = 14.2 + 0.42 ,

confidence interval = 14.2 - 0.42

confidence interval = (14.62,13.78)

Something terrible had happened. My youngest brother William was dead. He had been murdered!The letter explained that the family had been walking together near Lake Geneva. William had gotten lost. They found him in the woods. My father wrote that William had "the print of the murderer's finger on his neck."I went back to Switzerland right away. I had been so excited about this trip. Now this awful thing had happened. But the worst was yet to come.When I got to Geneva, it was quite late. The city gates were shut. I spent the night in a nearby town. In the morning, I rented a small boat. My father's house was across the lake.As I rowed, I saw a storm over a nearby moun-tain. The lightning flashed, The thunder roared."Poor William," I thought. "Is this your funeral song?" I landed the boat, and began to walk toward my father's house. Lightning flashed again. For a moment, I thought I saw the shape of a person near some trees. This was near the spotwhere William's body had been found. Could the killer have returned?Lightning flashed again, and my blood ran cold.There, in the flash of light, I saw it--the awful thing I had given life to. There could be no mistake about it. I saw that giant body and. that horrible face. Then, in a second, he was gone. I tried to follow, but the monster was too fast. A minute later, the lightning flashed, again, I saw the creature climbing the mountain. It was nearlystraight up and down, but he rose up the cliff like a fly.I knew right away what had happened. The monster had killed my baby brother. Only something that wasn't human could have hurt such a sweet child as William. And what could I do about it? Who could catch such a strong creature? He could throw grown men around like babies. And I couldn't tell the truth to the police in Geneva.They would call me a madman and lock me up. No one would believe that a creature I had made from lifeless parts had killed my youngest brother!When I got to my father's house, I found him almost mad with sorrow. My other brother Ernest was with him. Elizabeth had stayed in bed, crying.Somehow, she felt that she had caused William's death. She felt that if she hadn't let him wander off, William might still be alive.Ernest began telling me about the murder. I wasn't listening to what he was saying. I had seen the monster, and this was very much on my mind.Then I heard Ernest say, "But since the murderer has been found . . " Suddenly, I was all ears."The murderer has been found?" I asked. "How can that be? Who could be strong enough to follow him? I saw him, too, last night.""I don't know what you mean," Ernest said to me. "Justine is the one being held." Justine was a young woman who had been adopted by our familymany years before. I knew she loved William as much as we did. She had always been there to play with him and to take care of him."But that can't be," I said. "Justine would never harm little William.""None of us thought so, either," Ernest replied."But the police found something. You remember the little picture of mother? The one Father had made into a pin?""Yes, I do," I answered."Well, William wore that pin. He begged Father to let him wear it. Even though it was worth a lot of money, Father let him keep it. The pin. was found in Justine's pocket.""A mistake has been made," I said.Yes, a mistake had been made. But I was the only one who knew it. Elizabeth didn't know what I knew. But she didn't believe that Justine would kill William. Elizabeth and I tried to help Justine.But we couldn't. There was a trial. Poor Justine was found guilty. She was hanged a few days later.Can you know what went through my mind? I knew that the monster had killed William, But I couldn't tell anyone. No one would believe me.And all this trouble had come about because of me. I had created the monster. And because of my creation, both my brother William and dear Justine were dead!
