140. Two sides of a triangle measure 4 cm and 7 cm. what is the range of values for the possible lengths of the third side x?

Explanation

The range of values for the possible lengths of the third side x can be determined by using the triangle inequality theorem. According to this theorem, the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side. In this case, the sum of the lengths of the two given sides (4 cm and 7 cm) is 11 cm. Therefore, the length of the third side x must be greater than 3 cm (11 cm - 4 cm) and less than 11 cm (11 cm - 7 cm), resulting in the range of 3

142. Which law of force and motion explains this occurrence: when a rocket is propelled upward by the downward discharge of exhaust gasses?

Explanation

The occurrence of a rocket being propelled upward by the downward discharge of exhaust gasses can be explained by the law of interaction. According to Newton's third law of motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. In this case, the action is the discharge of exhaust gasses downward, and the reaction is the rocket being propelled upward. The force exerted by the gasses in the downward direction creates an equal and opposite force on the rocket, causing it to move upward.

144. If Gregorio del Pilar was the hero of the battle of Tirad Pass, then who was the leader in the Battle of La Loma?

Explanation

The correct answer is Miguel Malvar. The question is asking who the leader was in the Battle of La Loma.

145. What is the area of a rhombus whose diagonals measure 10m and 12m respectively?

Explanation

The area of a rhombus can be calculated by multiplying the lengths of its diagonals and dividing the result by 2. In this case, the diagonals measure 10m and 12m, so the area would be (10m * 12m) / 2 = 60m2.

146. What are the roots of 4x2 – 9x + 2 = 0

Explanation

The equation given is a quadratic equation in the form of ax^2 + bx + c = 0. By comparing the coefficients with the given equation, we can see that a = 4, b = -9, and c = 2. To find the roots of the equation, we can use the quadratic formula: x = (-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)) / (2a). Plugging in the values, we get x = (9 ± √(81 - 32)) / (8). Simplifying further, we get x = (9 ± √49) / 8. This gives us the two possible roots: x = (9 + 7) / 8 = 2 and x = (9 - 7) / 8 = 1/4. Therefore, the correct answer is X = 2, x = 1/4.

147. Find the volume of a toy ball whose radius is 2 cm.

Explanation

The volume of a toy ball can be calculated using the formula V = (4/3)πr^3, where r is the radius of the ball. In this case, the radius is given as 2 cm. Plugging this value into the formula, we get V = (4/3)π(2^3) = (4/3)π(8) = 33.49 cm^3. Therefore, the correct answer is 33.49 cm^3.

150. During a recent shopping spree. Dodo and Ani bought some new accessories for their apartment. Ani chos a crocheted throw pillow at P24.95, and Dodo purchased a rural landscape painting for P135.00. How much did they actually spend if they paid 7% sales tax on their purchased?

Explanation

Ani bought a crocheted throw pillow for P24.95 and Dodo bought a rural landscape painting for P135.00. To calculate the total amount they spent, we need to add the prices of the two items together. P24.95 + P135.00 = P159.95. However, they also had to pay 7% sales tax on their purchases. To calculate the sales tax, we multiply the total amount spent by 7% (or 0.07). P159.95 * 0.07 = P11.20. Adding the sales tax to the total amount spent, we get P159.95 + P11.20 = P171.15. Therefore, the correct answer is P171.15.
