<span>The flag's dimensions are 40 inches by 55 inches.

Reasoning<span>:
The perimeter equals the sum of all sides. Being rectangular, opposite sides have equal lengths. Thus, the equation is
y + 11/8 y + y + 11/8 y = 190.

Simplifying, we get
2y + 22/8 y = 190.

Expressing 22/8 as a mixed fraction results in
2y + 2 3/4 y = 190.

Combining terms: 4 3/4 y = 190.

Divide both sides by 4 3/4:
y = 190 ÷ 4 3/4.

Converting 4 3/4 to an improper fraction: y = 190 ÷ 19/4.

Dividing by a fraction means multiplying by its reciprocal:
y = 190 × 4/19 = 760/19 = 40.

Since y = 40, calculate 11/8 y = 11/8 × 40 = 440/8 = 55.</span></span>

Svet_ta [12734]
<span>5.7 liters of a 5% solution combined with 4.3 liters of a 40% solution. To begin, define the problem with formulas. x Represents the liters of the 5% solution utilized. 10-x Represents the liters of the 40% solution used. This forms an equation: 5% of x plus 40% of (10-x) equals 20% of 10. 0.05x + 0.40(10-x) = 0.20 * 10 Now, distribute the 0.40 coefficient. 0.05x + 4.0 - 0.40x = 0.20 * 10 Next, combine the terms. 4.0 - 0.35x = 2.0 Add 0.35x to each side. 4.0 = 2.0 + 0.35x Subtract 2 from both sides. 2.0 = 0.35x Lastly, divide both sides by 0.35. 5.7 = x Thus, 5.7 liters of a 5% solution is required. To determine the volume of the 40% solution, subtract from 10. 10.0 - 5.7 = 4.3</span>

A point x is 34m due to east of a point Y . The bearing of a flagpole from x and Y are N18°W And N40°E respectively .
Inessa [12570]
The distance from point Y to the flag post measures 38.13 m. Step-by-step explanation: Assuming point Y is located at the intersection of both lines shown. Point X is positioned 34 meters east of point Y. The flagpole at point X is observed at a bearing of N18°W, meaning it creates an angle of 18° to the west from the north at point X. Conversely, at point Y, the flagpole has a bearing of N40°E, which makes a 40° angle towards the east from the north. Considering ∆ AXY as a right triangle, the angle FXY is established. Then, concerning ∆ BYX as another right triangle, the angle FYX is also determined. To find the third angle ∠YFX in triangle FYX, the angle sum property of triangles can be applied: ∠YFX + ∠FYX + ∠FXY = 180° Thus, we have: ∠YFX + 50° + 72° = 180° leading to ∠YFX = 58°. Now we can calculate the distance FY using the sine rule.

Answer:

Part A. At least 6 hours

Part B. In less than 2.5 hours, Elijah will fall behind Mercedes

Part C. In over 2.5 hours, Elijah will lead Aubrey

Step-by-step explanation:

D = distance

v = speed

t = time

Formula connecting D, v, and t:

D=v\cdot t

Part A.

Steve's speed: v=3.5\ mph

Distance: a minimum of 21 miles

Time: unknown, so

3.5\cdot t\ge 21\\ \\35t\ge 210\ [\text{Multiplied by 10}]\\ \\t\ge \dfrac{210}{35}\\ \\t\ge \dfrac{30}{5}\\ \\t\ge 6

It would require Steve a minimum of 6 hours to traverse at least 21 miles on Day 1.

Part B.

Mercedes's speed: v_M=2.4\ mph

Elijah's speed: v_E=3.2\ mph

Elijah's Distance walked: D_E miles

Mercedes's Distance walked: D_M miles

Time: x hours

Mercedes is 2 miles ahead, therefore

D_E=3.2x\\ \\D_M=2.4x+2

Elijah will trail behind until

D_E

In 2.5 hours, Elijah will close the gap on Mercedes, and in less than 2.5 hours, Elijah will trail behind her.

Part C.

Aubrey's speed: v_M=3\ mph

Elijah's speed: v_E=3.2\ mph

Elijah's Distance walked: D_E miles

Aubrey's Distance walked: D_A miles

Time: x hours

At the beginning of Day 3, Elijah starts from Mile 42, while Aubrey begins at Mile 42.5.

D_E=42+3.2x\\ \\D_A=42.5+3x

Elijah will be ahead of Aubrey when

D_E>D_A\\ \\42+3.2x> 42.5+3x\\ \\3.2x-3x>42.5-42\\ \\0.2x>0.5\\ \\2x>5\ [\text{Multiplied by 10}]\\ \\x>\dfrac{5}{2}\\ \\x>2.5\ hours

In 2.5 hours, Elijah will surpass Aubrey, and after more than 2.5 hours, Elijah will outpace Aubrey.

What is the value of the product (4 – 2i)(6 + 2i)? 20 – 4i 20 + 16i 28 + 16i 28 – 4i
Zina [12379]

(4 – 2i)(6 + 2i)

Use FOIL

First: 4 multiplied by 6 equals 24

Outer: 4 times 2i gives 8i

Inner: -2i times 6 results in -12i

Last: -2i times 2i equals -4i², which simplifies to 4

Combine the results

24 + 8i - 12i + 4

Final result: 28 - 4i

The answer is: 28 - 4i
