Answer:

The amount of wool required for a sweater was 400 grams.

A hat needed 80 grams of wool.

A scarf required 75 grams of wool.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ------> grams of wool necessary for a sweater

y -----> grams of wool necessary for a hat

z -----> grams of wool necessary for a scarf

From the information given

x+y+z=555 -----> equation A

y=x/5 ----> x=5y -----> equation B

y=z+5 ---> z=y-5 ----> equation C

By substituting equations B and C into equation A, we can solve for y:

(5y)+y+(y-5)=555

7y=560

y=80 grams

Now, find x

x=5(80)=400 grams

Next, determine z

z=80-5=75 grams

In conclusion,

400 grams of wool was required for the sweater,

the hat needed 80 grams of wool, and

the scarf required 75 grams of wool.

Line RS intersects triangle BCD at two points and is parallel to segment DC. Triangle B C D is cut by line R S. Line R S goes th
Zina [12379]

Answer:

The correct statements are;

1) ΔBCD is similar to ΔBSR

2) BR/RD = BS/SC

3) (BR)(SC) = (RD)(BS)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Since RS is parallel to DC, we conclude that;

∠BDC = ∠BRS (Angles formed on the same side of the transversal)

Furthermore;

∠BCD = ∠BSR (Angles formed on the same side of the transversal)

∠CBD = ∠CBD (Reflexive property)

Thus;

ΔBCD ~ ΔBSR by the Angle-Angle-Angle (AAA) similarity criterion.

2) Given that  ΔBCD ~ ΔBSR, we obtain;

BC/BS = BD/BR → (BS + SC)/BS = (BR + RD)/BR = 1 + SC/BS = RD/BR + 1

1 + SC/BS = 1 + RD/BR thus, SC/BS = 1 + BR/RD - 1

SC/BS = RD/BR

By inverting both sides we find;

BR/RD = BS/SC

3) From BR/RD = BS/SC, we apply cross multiplication;

BR/RD = BS/SC leads to;

BR × SC = RD × BS → (BR)(SC) = (RD)(BS).

Svet_ta [12734]

Answer:

$82.3

Step-by-step explanation:

82 multiplied by 25 equals 2050.

Adding 90 gives 2140.

Dividing 2140 by 26 results in 82.3.
