Answer:

30 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

So what we are given here is a case of similar figures.

When we are given similar figures, the ratio of the width of both figures should be similar to the ratio of the length of both figures.

I'll demonstrate it in the following problem.

We know one rectangle has a length of 18 cm and a width of 6cm.

The other rectangle has a width of 10 cm.

Let's take a ratio of the width of both rectangles.

We take the width of 6 cm for the first rectangle to the width of 10 cm for the second rectangle.

w1 = 6 cm

w2 = 10 cm

6 cm : 10 cm = 3 : 5

The ratio given is 3 : 5. Let's use these ratios to find lengths.

l1 = 18 cm

l2 = x cm

3 : 5 = 18 : x

To find x, we just solve this like an equation, where we let ratios be division signs.

3/5 = 18/x

Multiply both sides by 5x

3x = 90

Divide both sides by 3

x = 30 cm

The length of the missing side is 30 cm. We found the answer to the length by using the ratios obtained from the widths.

Ksju [112]

The answer is 2. This is because 2 = 4% of 50.

You can think of it like this:

4 is 4% of 100.

50 is half of 100.

Therefore, 4% of 50 is HALF of 4% of 100.

4 divided by 2 = 2

What is the domain of the function y = square root x+6 -7?

salantis [7]

Answer:

-6 ≤ x < ∞

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the domain of the function y = √(x+6) -7.

<h3>Domain</h3>

The domain of a function is the set of x-values for which the function is defined. On a graph, it is the horizontal extent of the graph.

The square root function is undefined for negative arguments, so that limits the domain of the given function:

x+6 ≥ 0

x ≥ -6 . . . . . domain of the given function

<em>Additional comment</em>

When the domain is written in interval notation, both the left and right ends of the interval must be specified.

[-6, ∞)

The square bracket identifies -6 as being part of the domain. The parenthesis is used with ∞, because that number has no specific value.
