Fossils Show Thatinsects Were Much Larger Around 300 Millionyears Ago Than They Are Today. The Table

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The wing of the dragonfly was 9.65 cm longer than that of the fly, 102% larger in percentage terms.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the length of the wing of the old dragonfly was 19.5 cm, while the length of the wing of a common fly is 9.85 cm, to determine how long the dragonfly's wing was compared to that of the fly, the following must be done calculations:

19.5 - 9.85 = X

9.65 = X

Thus, the wing of the dragonfly was 9.65 cm longer than that of the fly. In turn, in terms of percentages, the result is the following:

9.65 = 100

19.5 = X

19.5 x 100 / 9.65 = X

1950 / 9.65 = X

202 = X

Thus, in percentage terms, the dragonfly's wing was 102% larger than that of the current fly.

what is the value of 3-6(z-2) if z=-2

Answers

Answer:

General Formulas and Concepts:

Pre-Algebra

Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

Brackets Parenthesis Exponents Multiplication Division Addition Subtraction Left to Right

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

3 - 6(z - 2)

z = -2

Step 2: Evaluate

Substitute in z:                   3 - 6(-2 - 2)(Parenthesis) Subtract:      3 - 6(-4)Multiply:                              3 + 24Add:                                    27
Given :

z = - 2

To Find :

3 - 6(z - 2) = ?

Solution :

By substituting value of z = - 2 in 3 - 6(z - 2), we get :

[tex] \tt : \implies 3 - 6(z - 2) = 3 - 6((-2) - 2)[/tex]

[tex] \tt : \implies 3 - 6(z - 2) = 3 - 6(-2 - 2)[/tex]

[tex] \tt : \implies 3 - 6(z - 2) = 3 - 6(- 4)[/tex]

[tex] \tt : \implies 3 - 6(z - 2) = 3 + 24[/tex]

[tex] \tt : \implies 3 - 6(z - 2) = 27[/tex]

[tex] \large \underline{\boxed{\bf{ 3 - 6(z - 2) = 27}}}[/tex]

Hence, value of 3 - 6(z - 2) = 27.

What is the ratio in which the point P(3/4,5/12) decides the line segment joining points A(1/2,3/2) and B(2,-5)

Answers

Given:

The point [tex]P\left(\dfrac{3}{4},\dfrac{5}{12}\right)[/tex] divides the line segment joining points [tex]A\left(\dfrac{1}{2},\dfrac{3}{2}\right)[/tex] and [tex]B(2,-5)[/tex].

To find:

The ratio in which he point P divides the segment AB.

Solution:

Section formula: If a point divides a segment in m:n, then the coordinates of that point are,

[tex]Point=\left(\dfrac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n},\dfrac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}\right)[/tex]

Let point P divides the segment AB in m:n. Then by using the section formula, we get

[tex]\left(\dfrac{3}{4},\dfrac{5}{12}\right)=\left(\dfrac{m(2)+n(\dfrac{1}{2})}{m+n},\dfrac{m(-5)+n(\dfrac{3}{2})}{m+n}\right)[/tex]

[tex]\left(\dfrac{3}{4},\dfrac{5}{12}\right)=\left(\dfrac{2m+\dfrac{n}{2}}{m+n},\dfrac{-5m+\dfrac{3n}{2}}{m+n}\right)[/tex]

On comparing both sides, we get

[tex]\dfrac{3}{4}=\dfrac{2m+\dfrac{n}{2}}{m+n}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{3}{4}(m+n)=\dfrac{4m+n}{2}[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 4.

[tex]3(m+n)=2(4m+n)[/tex]

[tex]3m+3n=8m+2n[/tex]

[tex]3n-2n=8m-3m[/tex]

[tex]n=5m[/tex]

It can be written as

[tex]\dfrac{1}{5}=\dfrac{m}{n}[/tex]

[tex]1:5=m:n[/tex]

Therefore, the point P divides the line segment AB in 1:5.

7. Algebra/part-whole-postulate/sum of interior angles in a triangle/CPTCTC (Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent)

Step-by-step explanation:

number 4 is just...given because it shows that they're both right angles

6, it's literally the definition of verticle angles

7, since we know that angle TQU and angle RSU are congruent and angle QUT and SUR are congruent, if we subtract those from 180, that means those two angles also have to be congruent

Also, the two triangles are congruent by LA or ASA, so CPCTC would also work

Part-whole-postulate, same reasoning as algebra.
