A watermelon consists of 90% water and 10% pulp. After drying the weight is 20 kg
and 40% water is left. What was the initial weight?​

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: 40kg

Explanation: If 40% water and 10% pulp (Total 50%) is 20kg
Then 90% water and 10% pulp (Total 100%) would be double, so therefore 40kg

To confirm: 10% = 4kg
40kg - 4kg = 36kg
to get from 90% to 40% just divide by 2.25
the answer is 16kg
add on the pulp weight of 4kg = 20kg
Answer 2
Answer: 40kg

Explanation:

Let x be the initial weight:

90% + 10% = x
100% = x

40% + 10% = 20kg
50% = 20kg

=> 100/50= x/20
=> 2 = x/20
=> x = 20 x 2
=> x = 40kg

Therefore the initial weight is 40kg

Diego says a quadrilateral with four congruent sides is always a regular polygon. Mai says it never is one. Do you agree with either of them?
Help please!!!

Answers

Answer:

mai is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

a quadrilateral with four congruent sides is never a regular polygon it is a rhombus. hope this helps!

A regular polygon has four congruent sides and four congruent angles.

I do not agree with any of them, because both arguments are incorrect

For a polygon to be a regular polygon, the following conditions must be met

All four sides must be congruentAll four angles must be congruent (90 degrees)

Some quadrilaterals with four congruent sides are:

Rhombus, Kite, Square, etc.

A rhombus has four congruent sides, but all four angles are not congruent.

This means that Diego's argument is incorrect

All sides and angles of a square are congruent.

Because Mai says such polygons can never be a regular polygon, then Mai's argument is also wrong.

Hence, I do not agree with any of them.

If A=kr² and V=kr³, find the percentage increase in A and V if r is increased by 20%​

Answers

Answer:

The percentage increase in A is 44%. The percentage increase in V is 72.8%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest way to go about solving this problem is to pick your own numbers and plug them into the given equations.

For example, let's say that k = 5 and that r = 10.

[tex]A=kr^{2}[/tex]  ⇒ [tex]A= 5 * 10^{2} =500[/tex]

[tex]V=kr^{3}[/tex] ⇒ [tex]V= 5 * 10^{3}= 5000[/tex]

The question is asking, what is the percentage increase if r is increased by 20%. Our chosen k-value will stay the same but our r-value is going to increase. To find the new value of r, we multiply 10, our current value of r, by 1.2. This gives us a new value for r, which is 12.

[tex]10*1.2=12[/tex]

Now, we are going to plug in our new r-value and our k-value into the given equations. k = 5; new r = 12

[tex]A=kr^{2}[/tex] ⇒ [tex]A=5*12^{2}=720[/tex]

[tex]V=kr^{3}[/tex] ⇒ [tex]V=5*12^{3}=8640[/tex]

Next, we have to calculate the percentage increase in our values of A and V. To do this, we use the following formula:

[tex]Percentage Increase = \frac{final - initial}{initial} * 100[/tex]

Percentage Increase for A

Initial value: 500

Final Value: 720

[tex]Percentage Increase = \frac{720-500}{500} * 100 = 44%[/tex]

Percentage Increase for V

Initial value: 5000

Final Value: 8640

[tex]Percentage Increase= \frac{8640-5000}{5000} *100 = 72.8%[/tex]

The percentage increase for A is 44% and the percentage increase for V is 72.8%.

Answer:

x-int: (8/3, 0)

y-int: (0, -32/3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

x-intercept is the x-value when y = 0

y-intercept is the y-value when x = 0

Step 1: Write equation

2x - 1/3 = 1/2y + 5

Step 2: Subtract 5 on both sides

2x - 16/3 = 1/2y

Step 3: Multiply 2 on both sides

4x - 32/3 = y

Step 4: Rewrite

y = 4x - 32/3

Step 5: Find x-int

0 = 4x - 32/3

32/3 = 4x

x = 8/3

(8/3, 0)

Step 6: Find y-int

y = 4(0) - 32/3

y = 0 - 32/3

y = -32/3

(0, -32/3)
