Answer:

D. 10

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use similar triangles to solve this question. ΔRSE ≅ ΔFGE by SAS. We can set up this similarity equations: \frac{SE}{GE} = \frac{RE}{FE} . Plugging in the numbers from the diagram, we get \frac{45}{12x-3} = \frac{55}{143} . Using cross multiplication, we get the following equation:

45 * 143 = 55 *(12x-3)\\ 6435 = 660x - 165\\6600 = 660x\\x = 10

Our final answer is D. 10

Answer:

\fbox {D. 10}

Step-by-step explanation:

As the triangles are similar :

45/55 = (12x - 3)/143

9/11 = (12x - 3)/143

9 x 13 = 12x - 3

12x = 117 + 3

12x = 120

x = 10

Find an equation in rectangular coordinates for the cylindrical equation r = 2sintheta
frutty [35]

Answer:

x^2+(y-1)^2=1

Step-by-step explanation:

The given cylindrical equation is

r=2\sin \theta

Multiply both sides by r.

r^2=2r\sin \theta           .... (1)

The required formulas are

x=r\cos \theta,y=r\sin \theta,r^2=x^2+y^2

Substitute r\sin \theta =y,r^2=x^2+y^2 in equation (1).

x^2+y^2=2y

x^2+y^2-2y=0

Add 1 on both sides.

x^2+(y^2-2y+1)=1

(x-0)^2+(y-1)^2=1^2                    [\because (a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2]

It is the equation of a circle centered at (0,1) with radius 1.

Therefore, the equation in rectangular coordinates is x^2+(y-1)^2=1.
