Find the value of x and y

Mathematics
1 answer:
Natalija [7]2 years ago
5 0

Hello and Good Morning/Afternoon:

<u>Let's take this problem step-by-step</u>:

<u>What does the information want:</u>

  • value of x
  • value of y

<u>Let's gather some information</u>:

  • ΔA'BC' and ΔABC are similar triangles

             ⇒ Angle B is shared by both triangles

             ⇒ Angle A' and A are the same, as they are both on parallel

                   lines, A'C' and AC, and both angles are formed with the

                   same line AB

                 ⇒ by the <em>Angle-Angle Theorem*</em>, they are similar triangles

<u>If they are similar triangles</u>:

   ⇒ their side lengths are proportional to each other

  • let's find x's value

          ⇒ let's set up a proportion

                 \frac{A'B}{AB} =\frac{A'C'}{AC} \\\frac{30}{x+30} =\frac{14}{22} \\14(x+30) = 30*22\\14x + 420 = 660\\14x = 240\\x = 17.143

  • let's find y's value

          ⇒ let's set up a proportion

                 \frac{BC'}{BC} =\frac{A'C'}{AC} \\\frac{y}{y+15} =\frac{14}{22} \\22y=14(y+15)\\22y=14y+210\\8y=210\\y=26.25

<u>Answer:</u>

  • <u>x= 17.143</u>
  • <u>y = 26.25</u>

Hope that helps!

6÷2(1+2)= _____ whats the answer to this
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

You do parenthesis first so 1+2=3

Then you do division 6 divided by 2=3

Then you will multiply 3 by 3 so 9

This is known as pemdas

P=parenthesis

E=exponents

MD=multiplication and division you do it left to right so if division is in front of multiplication then you do division

As=Addition and subtraction is also left to right

A man bought 5 laptops and a desktop for taka 229600. If a laptop costs taka 32750 find the cost of the desktop
Anton [14]

One laptop costs 32,750.

He bought 5 laptops.

So, 5 x 32,750 = 163,750.

Let d = cost of one desktop.

163,750 + d = 229,600.

Solve for d to find your answer.

In the diagram below, what is the relationship between the number of triangles and the perimeter?
Eduardwww [97]

The perimeter "P" is equal to the length of the base of one triangle multiplied by the "n" number of triangles in the figure plus two times the length of another side. The equation for the perimeter is P = 5n + 14.

We are given triangles. The triangles are arranged in a certain pattern. The length of the base of each triangle is equal to 5 units. The length of the other two sides is 7 units each. We conclude that all the triangles are isosceles. We need to find the relationship between the number of triangles and the perimeter of the figure. Let the perimeter of the figure having "n" number of triangles be represented by the variable "P".

P(1) = 14 + 5(1)

P(2) = 14 + 5(2)

P(3) = 14 + 5(3)

We can see and continue the pattern. The relationship between the perimeter and the number of triangles is given below.

P(n) = 14 + 5n

Cameron ran 3.8 miles per every 1.9 miles that Samantha ran and if Samantha and 7.6 miles how far did Cameron run
bija089 [108]
3.8 / 1.9 = x / 7.6....3,8 miles to 1.9 miles = x miles to 7.6 miles
cross multiply
(1.9)(x) = (3.8)(7.6)
1.9x = 28.88
x = 28.88 / 1.9
x = 15.2 <== Cameron ran 15.2 miles
