Answer:

12 cm

Detailed explanation:

1. Analyzing triangle MNK, we see that angle N is a right angle, and m∠M=60°, hence m∠K=30°. This indicates that MNK is a unique 30°-60°-90° triangle where the legs are MN and NK, and the hypotenuse MK is 16 cm long. The leg MN, which is opposite the 30° angle, measures half of the hypotenuse, leading to MN=8 cm.

2. Next, consider right triangle MNH, where NH represents the height of the trapezoid drawn from point N. In this triangle, m∠M is 60°, angle H is a right angle, so m∠N is 30°. Thus, MH, being half of the hypotenuse MN, translates to MH=4 cm.

3. The trapezoid MNOK is isosceles with MN=OK=8 cm, meaning NO=MK-2MH=16-8=8 cm.

4. The midsegment of the trapezoid is

\dfrac{MK+NO}{2}=\dfrac{16+8}{2}=12\ cm.

Identify the equation of the circle that has its center at (-27, 120) and passes through the origin.
zzz [11915]

The equation representing the circle centered at (-27, 120) that passes through the origin is:

(x + 27)^2 + (y - 120)^2 = 15129

Solution:

The general equation of a circle is expressed as:

(x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2

Where,

(a, b) denotes the center of the circle

r signifies the radius

Given the center as (-27, 120)

Thus;

a = -27

b = 120

Considering it intersects the origin, meaning (x, y) = (0, 0)

Substituting (a, b) = (-27, 120) and (x, y) = (0, 0) into the equation

(0 + 27)^2 + (0 - 120)^2 = r^2\\\\729 + 14400 = r^2\\\\r^2 = 15129

Input r^2 = 15129 and (a, b) = (-27, 120) into the equation

(x + 27)^2 + (y - 120)^2 = 15129

Hence, the equation characterizing the circle is determined

Can the sum of two mixed numbers be equal to two
lawyer [12163]
No, mixed numbers must include both a whole number and a fraction to qualify as such. If a fraction were present, it wouldn’t sum to two due to the presence of the 1's ❤️.

A local school needs to paint the floor of its theater room, where the length of the floor, x, is at least 12 feet. The width of
Zina [12044]

Answer: The correct formulation is option A.)A = x(x − 4) − 0.5(8)(x − 4) − 4(8)

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the area that needs painting in the theater room in square feet, follow these steps:

1. Calculate the area of the theater room

Length: x

Width: x-4

A (area of theater room) = x (x-4)

2. Calculate the area of the right triangle

Height: x-4

Base: 8

A (area of right triangle) = 0.5 (8) (x-4)

3. Calculate the area of the rectangle designated as a closet

Length: 8

Width: 4

A (closet) = 8 (4)

4. The painted area is calculated by subtracting the areas of the right triangle and the closet from the total area of the theater room:

A= A(theater room) - A(right triangle) - A (closet)

A = x (x-4) -0.5 (8) (x - 4) - 4 (8)

Thus, the proper equation to compute the area is option A.

An office has 80 employees, and 24 of the employees are managers. What percentage of the employees are managers?
Leona [12193]

Solution:

30% of the workforce consists of managers.

Explanation:

Given that there are 80 employees, out of which 24 are managers, we need to determine what percentage this represents.

This percentage can be calculated using the formula below:

\% = \frac{\text{Number of managers}}{\text{Total number of employee}}\times 100

By plugging in the known values, we have:

\%=\frac{24}{80}\times 100\\\%=\frac{3}{10}\times 100\\\%=3\times 10\\\%=30\%

Thus, 30% of the employees are managers.

What is the product? StartFraction 3 k Over k + 1 EndFraction times StartFraction k squared minus 1 Over 3 k cubed EndFraction S
PIT_PIT [11965]

Answer:

StartFraction negative 1 Over k cubed EndFraction

Detailed breakdown:

3k / (k + 1) × (k² - 1) / 3k³

= 3k(k² - 1) / (k + 1)(3k³)

= 3k³ - 3k / 3k⁴ + 3k³

= -3k / 3k⁴

= -1/k³

StartFraction k + 1 Over k squared EndFraction

(k + 1) / k²

StartFraction k minus 1 Over k squared EndFraction

(k - 1)/k²

StartFraction negative 1 Over k cubed EndFraction

= -1/k³

StartFraction 1 Over k EndFraction

= 1/k
