What is the length of AC?​

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Please refer to the attached photo. (Apologies for the terrible drawing.)

Since we know triangles ABC and DEC are similar, we can use the ratio method to find x.

[tex] \frac{ec}{bc} = \frac{ed}{ba} \\ \frac{25}{5} = \frac{18 - x}{x} \\ \frac{18 - x}{x} = 5 \\ 18 - x = 5x \\ 18 = 5x + x \\ 6x = 18 \\ x = \frac{18}{6} \\ = 3[/tex]

Answer:

[tex]\huge\boxed{\sf x = -2.5}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + 2 = -8

Subtract 2 to both sides

4x = -8 - 2

4x = -10

Divide 4 to both sides

x = -10/4

[tex]\rule[225]{225}{2}[/tex]

Answer:

a) x = 1, x = -7

b) (-3, -48)

c) x = -3

d) upwards

Step-by-step explanation:

Given quadratic equation:

[tex]y=3(x-1)(x+7)[/tex]

Intercept form of a quadratic equation:  

 [tex]y=a(x-p)(x-q)[/tex]

where:

Comparing the formula with the given equation:

⇒ p = 1

⇒ q = -7

Therefore, the x-intercepts of the given equation are x = 1 and x = -7.

The midpoint between the two x-intercepts is the x-coordinate of the vertex.

[tex]\implies \textsf{Midpoint}=\dfrac{x_2+x_1}{2}=\dfrac{1+(-7)}{2}=-3[/tex]

Therefore, the x coordinate of the vertex is -3.

To find the y-coordinate of the vertex, substitute this into the given equation:

[tex]\implies y=3(-3-1)(-3+7)=-48[/tex]

Therefore, the coordinates of the vertex are (-3, -48).

The x-coordinate of the vertex is the axis of symmetry.

Therefore, the axis of symmetry is x = -3.

If the leading coefficient of a quadratic equation is positive, the parabola opens upwards.

If the leading coefficient of a quadratic equation is negative, the parabola opens downwards.

From inspection of the given equation, the leading coefficient is 3.

Therefore, the parabola opens upwards.

The entry and exit points of (2, 3), and (12, 6), and 200 ft. extension of the sprinkler system gives;

(1) The sewer line crosses the farmland at (6.53, 4.36), and (8.48, 4.9)

(2) The longest installable sprinkler system is approximately 172.4 feet

1. The slope of the sewer line is found as follows;

The equation of the sewer line can be expressed in point and slope form as follows;

y = 0.3•x - 0.6 + 3

y = 0.3•x + 2.4

The equation of the circumference of the sprinkler can be expressed as follows;

Therefore;

(x - 8)² + (0.3•x + 2.4 - 3)² = 2²

Solving gives;

x= 6.53, or x = 8.48

y = 0.3×6.53 + 2.4 = 4.36

y = 0.3×8.48 + 2.4 = 4.9

Therefore;

2. When the farmland does not cross the sewer line, we have;

sewer line is tangent to circumference of farmland

Slope of radial line from center of the land is therefore;

m1 = -1/0.3

Equation of the radial line to the point the sewer line is tangent to the circumference is therefore;

y - 3 = (-1/0.3)×(x - 8)

Which gives;

y = (-1/0.3)×(x - 8) + 3

The x-coordinate is therefore;

0.3•x + 2.4 = (-1/0.3)×(x - 8) + 3

The longest sprinkler system is therefore;

d = √((7.5 - 8)² + (4.65 - 3)²) ≈ 1.724

Answer: The triangles are not similar.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two figures are similar simply if they have the same shape, but not necessarily the same size. In a more mathematical sense, similar figures have the same angle measures and proportionate side lengths.

For reference, side lengths are proportionate when the ratios between corresponding/matching sides are the same.

Since we do not have any angles, we will try using the SSS Similarity Theorem, which states that if all three sides of both triangles are in proportion, then the triangles are similar. We will first list all the side lengths and match corresponding ones.

[tex]\triangle ABC \rightarrow 18,20,32\\ \triangle UVT \rightarrow 14,15,24[/tex]

Since we matched corresponding sides, we can now check whether they have the same ratio).

My total bill after involving the discount of 35% would be $80.93.

If one t-shirt requires 4/5 yards. The number of t-shirts that can be created with 48 yards can be specified by dividing 48 yards by 4/5 yards

48 yards ÷ 4/5 yards

48 x 5 / 4 = 60 shirts

The area of the shaded region is 502.4 ft^2

The area of a circle is the space occupied by a circle in a two-dimensional plane. Alternatively, the space taken up inside the boundary/circumference of a circle is called the area of the circle. The formula for the area of a circle is A = πr2, where r is the radius of the circle. The unit of area is the square unit, such as m2, cm2, in2, etc. Area of a circle = πr2 or πd2/4 in square units, where (Pi) π = 22/7 or 3.14. Pi (π) is the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of any circle. It is a special mathematical constant.

It is given that inner diameter is 36 ft and width of the ring is 4 ft

We need to find the area of the shaded region

diameter of outer ring= d1=36+4+4 = 44 ft ,

diameter of inner ring= d2=36 ft,

r1=d1/2= 44/2 = 22 ft , r2=d2/2 = 36/2 = 18 ft

Area of shaded region = Area of Outer circle - Area of inner circle

= π r1^2 - π r2^2

= π ( 22^2 - 18^2 )

= 3.14 * 160

= 502.4 ft^2

Hence the area of the shaded region is 502.4 ft^2

An object's area is how much space it takes up in two dimensions. It is the measurement of the quantity of unit squares that completely cover the surface of a closed figure. The word "area" refers to a free space.

According to the question,

Diameter of inner circle = 36 ft.

Radius of inner circle = 36/2 ft. =18 ft.

As the width of the ring is 4 ft. , the diameter of the outer circle = 36+4+4= 44 ft.

Radius of outer circle = 22 ft.

Area of the shaded region = Area of outer circle - Area of inner circle

                                              = π(22)(22) - π(18)(18)

                                              = π(484 - 324)

A square is a plane shape that has an equal length of sides. The required answers to the questions are;

i. Yes, the area of a square and its length of sides are directly proportional.

ii. Yes, the perimeter and length of the side of a square are directly proportional.

A square is a plane shape that has an equal length of sides, with four internal right angles. The area of a square can be determined as:

Area = length x length

        = [tex](length)^{2}[/tex]

This implies that the value of area of a given square depends on the value of its length. So that the area and length of sides of a square are directly proportional.

If the value of its length increases, then the value of its area increases, viz-a-viz. Then the area and length of the sides of a square are directly proportional.

The perimeter of a square is the sum of the length of its individual sides. Thus, the perimeter of a square can be determined by:

perimeter = 4 x length

Thus the value of the length determines the value of its perimeter. If the length of its sides increases, so is that of the perimeter. Therefore, the length and perimeter of a square are directly proportional.

A) The total surface area of the given cylindrical container is 571.76 cm² and B) The volume of the given cylindrical container is 923.62 cm³.

Consider a cylinder with height 'h', and radius 'r'.

and

The volume of the cylinder V = πr²h cubic units.

It is given that,

A cylindrical container closed on both ends has a radius r = 7 cm and a height h = 6 cm.

So,

TSA = 2πr (r + h)
