Nicole just lit a new candle and then let it burn all the way down to nothing. The initial length of the candle was 12 inches and the candle burned at a rate of 1.5 inches per hour. Make a table of values and then write an equation for L, L, in terms of t, t, representing the length of the candle remaining unburned, in inches, tt hours after the candle was lit.

sure i'm up for it

step-by-step explanation:

on the middle line

step-by-step explanation:

1/5=50

y - 25 = 2 ( x - 10 ) should be the answer

look at the picture.

1.

ef : ab = 2 : 3

gf : cb = 2 : 3

gh : cd = 2 : 3

he : da = 2 : 3

2.

∠a ≅ ∠e

∠b ≅ ∠f

∠c ≅ ∠g

∠d ≅ ∠h

3.

use pythagorean theorem:

the length of the abcd trapezoid sides:

|ab| = 3 cm

|bc| = 10 cm

|cd| = 3(3) cm = 9 cm

|da| = 8 cm

the perimeter of abcd = 3 + 10 + 9 + 8 = 30 cm

the ratio of perimeters of the tarapezoids is equal 2 : 3.

substitute:

      cross multiply

      divide both sides by 3
