Given that the triangles are similar how to find x

Mathematics
1 answer:
alexdok [17]3 years ago

So if they are similar then just try to figure out which two sides correspond to each other from the first and then the second triangle.

See how in the above example I did 20 and 5 not 20 and 14 or 20 and 3.5 because they do not correspond with one another.

Then figure out, is x on the mama or baby shape and either multiply the number received from all proportions or divide.

Multiply : small to big ( # missing on the bigger one )

Divide : big to small ( # missing on the smaller one)

Solve this application problem using a system of equations: The Bright College footballteam scored 80 times last season, some on
Goryan [66]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\sf \ \ 69 \ \textbf{touchdowns } 11 \ \textbf{field goals } \ }

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

Touchdown is 7 points, field goals is 3 points

Let's note a the number of touchdowns and b the number of field goals, we can write

   (1)    a + b = 80

   (2)    7a + 3b = 516

(2) - 3*(1) gives

7a + 3b - 3(a + b) = 516 - 3*80

<=> 7a + 3b -3a - 3b = 516 - 240 = 276

<=> 4a = 276

<=> a=\dfrac{276}{4}=69

And then from (1) b = 80 - 69 = 11

Hope this helps

Maria works as a part- time waitress and earns $30 per day plus 2% of all sales of food and drinks during the day
ollegr [7]

Answer:

y = 30 + 0.02x

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

Write an equation to present her daily earnings?

Let daily sales be represented by x and daily earnings be represented by y.

y is calculated as thus;

y = Earnings + Commission * Sales

y = 30 + 2\% * x

Convert percentage to decimal

y = 30 + 0.02 * x

y = 30 + 0.02x

Hence, her daily earnings is y = 30 + 0.02x

Three schools are located at points A, B, and C. The school district wants to locate its new stadium at a location that will be
dangina [55]

I have attached the image showing the location of the three schools.

Answer:

Should be built at the centroid of the triangle formed by points A, B and C.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the attached image, we see that if we join the 3 points by a straight line, they will form a triangle.

Now, to get a location that will be roughly the same distance from all 3 schools, it means a point that is equal to each of 3 vertex of the triangle.

The point that is equal to each vertex of a triangle is known as "Centroid".

Now, to find this centroid, we will add up the (x, y) coordinates of the 3 vertex and divide by 3.

For example;let's assume ;A has a coordinate of (x1, y1) ; B has a coordinate of (x2, y2) ; C has a coordinate of (x3, y3).

The coordinates of the centroid will be;

[(x1 + x2 + x3)/3], [(y1 + y2 + y3)/3]
