Proportions in similar triangles

Proportions In Similar Triangles

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that DE is parallel to AC then DE divides the sides proportionally, so

[tex]\frac{BD}{DA}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{BE}{EC}[/tex] , substitute values

[tex]\frac{x+2}{x}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )

3x = 2(x + 2) ← distribute

3x = 2x + 4 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

x = 4

One day in the playground,the ratio of the number of boy to the number of girl is 3:5 later 6girls come, 9boy leave, the ratio of the number of girl become 1:4. Find the difference between the number of boy and girl originally

Answers

Answer:

The number of boys are 18 and the number of girls are 30.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of number of girls to the boys = 3 : 5

Let the number of girls is g and boys is b initially.

b : g = 3 : 5

5 b = 3 g ..... (1)

Now, girls are 6 + g and boys are b - 9

So, the ratio is

(b - 9) : (6 + g) = 1 : 4

4 b - 36 = 6 + g

4 b - g = 42 .... (2)

From ( 1 ) and ( 2 )

[tex]4 b - \frac {5 b}{3}= 42\\\\\frac{7 b }{3} = 42\\\\b = 18[/tex]

And , g = 5 x 18/3 = 30

So, the number of boys are 18 and the number of girls are 30.  

Write an equation for the data shown in each table.

Answers

Answer:

1) f(x) = 500·(1.1)ˣ

2) f(x) = 500·(0.9)ˣ

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The given values in the table are;

x; 0, 1, 2, 3

f(x); 500, 550, 605, 665.5

By observation, we have that each two subsequent term of f(x) have a common ratio, given as follows;

550/500 = 11/10 = 1.1 = 605/550 = 665.5/605

From which we have;

The values of f(x) are in a geometric progression

The nth of a geometric progression = a·rⁿ

The common ratio, r = 1.1

The first term, a = 500

The number of terms, n = x

Therefore, xth term, f(x) = a×(r)ˣ

Substituting the values gives;

The equation for the data shown in the table is f(x) = 500·(1.1)ˣ

2) The given table of values is presented as follows;

x; 0, 1, 2, 3

f(x); 500, 450, 405, 364.5

The common ratio, f(xₙ)/f(xₙ₋₁) = 450/500 = 9/10 = 0.9 = 405/450 = 364.5/405

The terms of f(x) are in a geometric progression

The first term. a = 500

The common ratio, r = 9/10 = 0.9

The nth term of a geometric progression, G.P. = a·rⁿ

By plugging in the values of 'a', 'r', and 'n', the value of the xth term, f(x), therefore;

The equation for the data shown in the table is f(x) = 500·(0.9)ˣ.

-6/5x-4=-46​

Answers

Answer:

x = 35

Step-by-step explanation:

-6/5x-4=-46​

Add 4 to each side

-6/5x-4+4=-46+4

-6/5x=-42​​

Multiply each side by -5/6 to isolate x

-5/6 * -6/5x=-42 * -5/6​

x = 35

Answer:

x = 35

Step-by-step explanation:

-6 / 5x - 4 = - 46

Add 4 to each side

- 6 / 5 x - 4 + 4 = - 46 + 4

- 6 / 5 x = - 42

To find x, multiply 42 by 5 and then divide by 6.

x = 42 × 5 / 6

x = 7 × 5

x = 35

Answers

Answer:

After the distribution of the 5 and the addition of x to both sides, the x variable is cancelled out leaving 1 = - 20.

This statement is false. Hence, no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

1 - x = 5(x - 4) - 6x (Distribute 5)

1 - x = 5x - 20 - 6x (Combine like terms)

1 - x = -x - 20  add x to both sides

Sadia works at a theatre selling popcorn. Large boxes of popcorn sell

for $5.00 and small boxes of popcorn sell for $3.00. During her shift

last night, she sold 60 boxes of popcorn. Her receipts totalled $260,

not including taxes. Determine the number of large and small

popcorn boxes she sold last night.

Answers

Answer:

its 55 not 60

Step-by-step explanation:

just divide 260 by 5 and 3

The required number of large and small popcorn boxes sold are 40 and 20 respectively.


What is arithmetic?

In mathematics, it deals with numbers of operations according to the statements. There are four major arithmetic operators, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division,

Here,
Let the number of the large box be x and the small box is y.
According to the question,
5x + 3y = 260   - - - - - -  -(1)
x + y = 60
x = 60 - y - - - - - - - - (2)
Put the value of equation, (2) in equation 1
5 (60 - y) + 3y = 260
300 - 5y + 3y = 260
2y = 40
y = 20
Now,
x = 60 - 20
x = 40

Thus, the required number of large and small popcorn boxes sold are 40 and 20 respectively.

Find the length of the missing side

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides.

A group of people were asked if they had run a red light in the last year where 140 responded "yes," and 208 responded "no." If a person is randomly chosen, find the probability that he/she has run a red light in the last year. Give your answer as a fraction or decimal.

Answers

Answer:

35/87

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability, we must find (total number of favorable outcomes)/ (total number of outcomes). We thus need to find the total number of outcomes. As people have only answered "yes" or "no", the total number of outcomes is 208+140 = 348.

The total number of favorable outcomes, or what we're looking for, is 140 (140 people responded that they had run a red light). Thus, our fraction is 140/348, or 35/87

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]3x +5y =59 \to 3x +5y = 59[/tex]

Required

What can replace [tex]3x +5y = 59[/tex] ?

We have:

[tex]10x - 5y =-20[/tex]

and

[tex]3x +5y = 59[/tex]

Add up both equations:

[tex]10x +3x-5y+5y=-20+59[/tex]

[tex]10x +3x=39[/tex]

[tex]13x=39[/tex]

Since [tex]13x=39[/tex] is a result of [tex]10x - 5y =-20[/tex] and [tex]3x +5y = 59[/tex],

Answers

Answer:

B. 20x² + 25

C. 12x² + 8x + 25

D. 24x² + 16x + 50

Hypotenuse = 8x²

Height = 4x² + 15

Base = 8x + 10

Perimeter of the triangle = hypotenuse + height + base

= 8x² + (4x² + 15) + (8x + 10)

= 8x² + 4x² + 15 + 8x + 10

Perimeter of the triangle = 12x² + 8x + 25
