the scale on a map is 1 : 15000 how many kilometers on the ground would be represented by 12 cm on the map?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1.8 km

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale on the map is 1 : 15000.

This means that every 1 cm on the map is equal to 15000 cm on the ground.

12 cm on the map will therefore be:

12 * 15000 = 180000 cm

Let us convert to kilometres:

100000 cm = 1 km

180000 cm = 180000 / 100000 = 1.8 km

12 cm on the map will be 1.8 km on the ground.

in parallelogram ABCD, diagonals AC and BD intersect at E. Which statement proves ABCD is a rectangle?

Answers

Answer:

AC ≅ BD

Step-by-step explanation:

A parallelogram is a shape that have two pairs of parallel sides with opposite sides having the same length and opposite angles having the same size.

A rectangle is a shape that have two pairs of parallel sides with opposite sides having the same length and each of the four angles is 90°.

A parallelogram is said to be a rectangle if the diagonals of the parallelogram are of the same size (congruent). Therefore in parallelogram ABCD, ABCD is a rectangle if AC is equal to BD. where AC and BD are the diagonals

AC ≅ BD or say Measure of AC = Measure of BD diagonal.

Given that:

ABCD is a parallelogram

AC and BD intersect at E.

A parallelogram is defined as a closed geometric figure that has got 4 straight sides and  opposite sides are parallel to each other.

Set of all parallelogram is superset of set of all rectangles.

There is a property about diagonals of a parallelogram that states as;

" A parallelogram is a rectangle if and only if both of its diagonals are equal in size".

Now given parallelogram is ABCD thus its diagonals are AC and BD.

Thus for ABCD to be rectangle we need:

magnitude of AC = magnitude of BC

or

AC ≅ BD

Answers

Answer:

10 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

5/6 of an hours is 50 min. Assume x is the time she spends on each skill.

5x=50

x=10

She spent 1/6 of an hour i.e. 10 minutes on each skill.

What is area model?

In area model for multiplication a rectangle is used to represent multiplication between two quantities. Width and Length of the rectangle are assigned the numerical value of the two quantities being multiplied.

Solution

Let the number of skills be represented by the length of the rectangle in the figure.

Let the time spent(in hours), which is same for all skills, on each skill be represented by the width of the rectangle in the figure.

The area of the rectangle = length × width = 5 × t = 5t hours.

This area represents total time spent on five skills, which is 5/6 hours.

The smaller rectangles into which the whole rectangle is divided have area 1 × t = t hours. This represents time spent on one skill.

From the figure, such five smaller and equal rectangles constitutes the whole rectangle.

So, area of one smaller rectangle = Area of big rectangle / number of small rectangles = (5/6)/5 = 1/6 hours.

Since, this represents time spent on one skill. So, the required time is 1/6 hours.

She practice each skill for 1/6 of an hour.

An aeroplane covers a distance of 1500km in a certain time at a certain speed.After increasing the speed by 100km/hr, it covers the same distance in a time which is half an hour less than the previous time. Find the previous speed of the aeroplane.
this is from quadratic equations CBSE grade 10
please answer ASAP

Answers

Answer: U = 600 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that an aeroplane covers a distance of 1500km in a certain time t at a certain speed U.

After increasing the speed by 100km/hr, that is, V = U + 100 it covers the same distance in a time which is half an hour less than the previous time. That is t2 = t - 0.5.

From the first statement

Speed = distance/ time

Distance = speed × time

1500 = Ut

Make t the subject of the formula

t = 1500/U ..... (1)

From the second statement

Distance = speed × time

1500 = (U + 100) × ( t - 0.5 )

Open the bracket

1500 = Ut - 0.5U + 100t - 50

Collect the like terms

1550 = Ut - 0.5U + 100t .... (2)

Substitutes equation 1 into 2

1550 = 1500U/U - 0.5U + 100(1500/U)

1550 = 1500 - 0.5U + 150000/U

1550 - 1500 = (150000 - 0.5U^2)/U

Cross multiply

50U = 150000 - 0.5U^2

0.5U^2 + 50U - 150000 = 0

Divide all by 0.5

U^2 + 100U - 300000 = 0

Using completing the square method

U^2 + 100U = 300000

U^2 + 100U + 50^2 = 300000 + 50^2

(U + 50)^2 = 302500

U + 50 = sqrt(302500)

U + 50 = +/-(550)

U = 50 + 550 or 50 - 550

U = 600 or - 500

Since U is of the same direction, it is

positive. Therefore, the previous speed of the aeroplane is 600 m/s

Answer:

500km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for Speed (km/hr) = Distance / Time

Where S = Speed

D = Distance

T = Time

S = D/T

From the question, the aeroplane covered a distance of 1500 km

S = 1500/ T

ST = 1500

Time taken( T ) = 1500/S ......... Equation 1

We are told from the question that speed was increases by 100km/hr, it covers the same distance in a time which is half an hour less than the previous time

This is expressed mathematically as:

The new speed =S + 100km/hr

The new Time taken = 1500/ S - 1/2....... Equation 2

Also since Time = Distance / Speed

The new Time taken also = 1500/ S + 100 ......... Equation 3

Step 1

We would simplify Equation 2:

Time = 1500/S - 1/2

Find the Lowest common multiple = 2

Time = (2 × 1500 - S )/ 2S

Time = 3000 - S / 2S ......... Equation 4

Step 2

Equate Equation 4 and 3 together since they are both equal to time taken

1500/ S + 100 = 3000 - S / 2S

We cross multiply

2S × 1500 = (S + 100) ( 3000 - S)

3000S = 3000S - S² + 300000 - 100S

3000S - 3000S + S² - 300000 + 100S = 0

S² + 100S - 300000 = 0

Step 3

We solve for S = Speed by using factorisation method.

S² + 100x - 300000 = 0

S² - 500S + 600S - 300000 = 0

(S² - 500S) + (600S - 300000) = 0

S(S - 500) + 600(S - 500) = 0

(S - 500) (S + 600) = 0

S - 500 = 0, S = 500

S + 600 = 0 , S = -600

Our answer cannot be in negative form, hence, the previous speed of the aeroplane = 500km/hr

Answers

The first question was answered on another page.

As for your second question, you are unfortunately not correct.

We can check each possible answer by adding up the costs for each road. I recommend getting a marker out to trace the path, to help keep track of which roads were taken.

So we have...

Circuit ABDCA will cost AB+BD+DC+CA = 220+210+230+240= 900 in total (not 890). We can rule out choice A because the 890 and 900 don't match up.Circuit ACDBA will cost AC+CD+DB+BA = 240+230+210+220 = 900 in totalCircuit ABCDA will cost AB+BC+CD+DA = 220+200+230+310 = 960 in total

We see that Circuit ACDBA is the cheaper route of the answer choices given, and it perfectly matches with choice 2.

This may or may not be the cheapest route. I'm not all that familiar with the Nearest Neighbor algorithm to properly find the cheapest route (the next best thing is brute force). Luckily we can just use the answer choices as shown above. Besides the question doesn't ask for the absolute cheapest, but instead, "one of the cheapest".

So once again, the answer for the second question is choice 2

John goes to a restaurant and has a bill of $ 32. 57. He uses a 10% off coupon on the cost of his meal. The tax is 8%. He leaves a tip of 18% on the amount before the coupon or tax is applied. How much does he spend?

Answers

Answer: $36.97

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of the meal was $32.57 and he used a 10% off coupon. You can make 10% equal to 0.1 because [tex]\frac{10}{100}=0.1[/tex]. Now do [tex]0.1 *32.57=$3.26[/tex]. This is the discount, so you want to subtract this from the original to get the actual price of the meal, [tex]32.57-3.26=29.31dollars[/tex].

The tax was 8% so this means he is adding it to his total cost instead of subtracting it. Do 0.08 of $29.31 to get $2.34. Add $2.34 to the now $29.31 to get $31.69.

The tip is also adding to the total cost, so do 0.18 of $29.31 to get $5.28. Add $5.28 to $31.69 to get $36.97

Answer:

$37.51

Step-by-step explanation:

Original cost of meal is $32.57.

Since he has a coupon for 10% off, he pays for 90% of the cost of the meal.

90% of $32.57 = 0.9 * $32.57 = $29.31

Now he pays tax on the new discounted total. Let the new total be called 100%. Since he pays 8% tax, he needs to pay 108% of the new total.

108% of $29.31 = 1.08 * $29.31 = $31.65

He adds a tip of 18% of $32.57.

The tip amount is

18% of $32.57 = 0.18 * $32.57 = $5.86

The total is: $31.65 + $5.86 = $37.51
