Answer:

AB = 29

Explanation:

For a better understanding, we must work this problem in a graphic way. In the attached image we can see the solution.

First, we draw a vertical dotted lines from the point J & K to the line ML, then we can see two new portions with the same length. Then with this simple analysis:

2x = 39 - 19

x = 10

Then we know that x = 10, another important data to find the answer is that the AB line is located in the midpoints of the legs. We also can see the right triangle MJ and the dotted line.

Now for every single right triangle, no matter its size and relationship between the vertical and the horizontal lengths, if some point is located in the hypotenuse (leg) at the middle of its length. This will be proportional to the vertical and the horizontal cathetus, therefore we will have the middle point on those two lines.

So, the AB line will be the sum of JK plus two times 5

AB = 19 + 5 + 5 = 29

PLEASE ANSWER ASAP BEFORE MY TEACHER AND MY MOM KILLES ME PLEASE ASAP

Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

As you know, the denser objects have more weight per unit of volume, this will mean that the force that pulls down these objects is a bit larger.

This will mean that the denser objects will always go to the bottom.

This clearly implies that the red liquid, the one with one of the smaller densities, can not be at the bottom.

There are some cases where a liquid with a small density may become a lot denser as the temperature or pressure changes, and in a case like that, we could see the red liquid at the bottom, but for this case, there is no mention of changes in the temperature nor in the pressure, so this can be discarded.

The only thing that makes sense is that the red part at the bottom is the base of the tube, and has nothing to do with the red liquid.

One drawback of dams is that they can flood land upstream from the dam and reduce water flow downstream from the dam. Question 2

vivado [14]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

It can cause flooding and destruction of habitat because of dammed rivers create large reservoirs upstream which can spill out to the surrounding during heavy rainfall causing flooding and destruction of natural habitat.
