The two triangles shown are congruent. Find the value of x
1 answer:
Answer:
x = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
right triangle ABC
using Pythagoras' identity
BC² = 7² + 24² = 49 + 576 = 625 ( take square root of both sides )
BC = = 25
Since the triangles are congruent then corresponding sides are congruent.
ST = BC , that is
3x - 8 = 25 ( add 8 to both sides )
3x = 33 ( divide both sides by 3 )
x = 11

Answer:
a) 3 inch pulley: 11,309.7 radians/min
6) 6 inch pulley: 5654.7 radians/min
b) 900 RPM (revolutions per minute)
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi!
When a pulley wirh radius R rotantes an angle θ, the arc length travelled by a point on its rim is Rθ. Then the tangential speed V is related to angular speed ω as:
When you connect two pulleys with a belt, if the belt doesn't slip, each point of the belt has the same speed as each point in the rim of both pulleys: Then, both pulleys have the same tangential speed:
We need to convert RPM to radias per minute. One revolution is 2π radians, then:
The saw rotates with the same angular speed as the 6 inch pulley: 900RPM
