Answer:

a. x = 7

b. x = 36/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Points to remember

The ratio of of corresponding sides of similar triangles are equal.

a). To find the value of x

From the figure 1 we get two similar triangles, ΔABC and ADE

We can write,

AB/AD = AC/AE

3/6 = x/(x + 7)

3(x + 7) = 6 * x

3x + 21 = 6x

6x - 3x = 21

3x = 21

x = 21/3 = 7

b). To find the value of x

From the figure b we get

ΔABC ~ ΔEDF

AB/DE = BC/DF

4/5 = x/9

x = (4 * 9)/5 = 36/5

Kol and Kara solve this problem in two different ways the perimeter of a rectangle is 46 centimeters it’s length is 8 centimeter

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

15cm

Step-by-step explanation:

because length is given as 8 cm and perimeter is length+width+length+width

so if you take 8cmX2 since its taken twice to get the perimeter and 15cmX2 you get 46cm which originally the question said was the peemiter

Perimeter of rectangle =2l+2w

10 feet by 3.5 feet

l = 10feet and w = 3.5feet

Perimeter = 2(10) + 2(3.5)

Perimeter = 20 + 7

Perimeter = 27feet

Find the exact value of tan (arcsin (two fifths)). For full credit, explain your reasoning.

Hitman42 [59]

$\bf sin^{-1}(some\ value)=\theta \impliedby \textit{this simply means}
\\\\\\
sin(\theta )=some\ value\qquad \textit{now, also bear in mind that}
\\\\\\
sin(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{hypotenuse}\qquad 
\qquad 
% tangent
tan(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{adjacent}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\$

$\bf sin^{-1}\left( \frac{2}{5} \right)=\theta \impliedby \textit{this simply means that}
\\\\\\
sin(\theta )=\cfrac{2}{5}\cfrac{\leftarrow opposite}{\leftarrow hypotenuse}\qquad \textit{now let's find the adjacent side}
\\\\\\
\textit{using the pythagorean theorem}\\\\
c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \pm\sqrt{c^2-b^2}=a\qquad 
\begin{cases}
c=hypotenuse\\
a=adjacent\\
b=opposite\\
\end{cases}$

$\bf \pm \sqrt{5^2-2^2}=a\implies \pm\sqrt{21}=a
\\\\\\
\textit{we don't know if it's +/-, so we'll assume is the + one}\quad \sqrt{21}=a\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
tan(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{adjacent}\qquad \qquad tan(\theta)=\cfrac{2}{\sqrt{21}}
\\\\\\
\textit{and now, let's rationalize the denominator}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{2}{\sqrt{21}}\cdot \cfrac{\sqrt{21}}{\sqrt{21}}\implies \cfrac{2\sqrt{21}}{(\sqrt{21})^2}\implies \cfrac{2\sqrt{21}}{21}
