Vince weighs 160 pounds, and his friend Nadir weighs 140 pounds. Nadir calculated that his weight on another planet would be about 56 lb. Approximately what would Vince weigh on the other planet? 40 lb
64 lb
76 lb
90 lb

64 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

I divided 56/140 and got 0.4. Then multiplied 0.4 by 160 and got 64. SOunds about right to me.

You can double check by multipling 0.4 by 140 and you get 56.

64lb

Step-by-step explanation:

i mean i got it right on my quiz on egde 2020

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3
