Answer:

y = 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of corresponding sides of similar triangles are the same.

The small and large triangles are similar ( - that is corresponding angles are congruent).

So 2/(2+8) = x / 20

2/10 = x/20

10x = 40

x = 4.

Therefore y = 20 -4 = 16.

Please help :( Calculate each mountain path grade to the nearest percent.

wariber [46]

The grade of the path in the mountain is calculated by determining first the ratio between the rise over the run and multiplying the ratio by 100%.

For Path A:

grade = (rise / run) x 100%
grade = (1414/ 3535) x 100% = 40%

Answer: 40%

For Path B:
grade = (rise / run) x 100%
grade = (4.26 m/ 22 m) x 100% = 19.36%

Answer: 19.36%

Arjun is twice as old as shriya. If 5 years ago his age was 3 times shriya s age ,then what is arjun s present age?

prisoha [69]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Shriya's current age b x. Arjun's current age will be 2x.

5 years ago, Arjun's age was 2x-5 and Shriya's age was x-5.

Since Arjun's age was 3 times Shriya's age 5 years ago,

2x-5 = 3 (x-5)

x = 10

2x = 20

Let μ = 160 and σ = 16. find the z-score for the score, x = 150.

cricket20 [7]

Put the given values in the formula
$z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$
and evaluate.
z = (150 -160)/16 = -10/16
z = -5/8

The z-score for the score x=150 is -5/8 = -0.625.
