The following triangles are similar. Find side AB.

Mathematics
1 answer:
tankabanditka [31]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up ratios of corresponding sides.  x+2 is to 6 as 2 is to 3:

\frac{x+2}{6}=\frac{2}{3}

Now cross multiply to get

3(x + 2) = 12 and

3x + 6 = 12 so

3x = 6 and

x = 2.  That means that side AB, x + 2, is 2 + 2 which is 4

The length of a rectangle is twice as long as the width of the rectangle.
Rashid [163]

Answer: length = 8cm

Width = 4cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the rectangle be represented by x.

Since the length of a rectangle is twice as long as the width of the rectangle, then the length will be: = 2 × x = 2x

Note that, Area of a rectangle = Length × Width

Therefore,

2x × x = 32

2x² = 32

Divide both side by 2

2x²/2 = 32/2

x² = 16

x = ✓16

x = 4

Therefore, width = 4cm

Since length = 2x

Length = 2 × 4cm = 8cm

Check: length × width = Area

8cm × 4cm = 32cm²

In the diagram below, LATE is an isosceles trapezoid with LE ≅ AT , LA = 24, ET = 40, and AT = 10. Altitudes LF and AG are drawn
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

From the Trapezoid attached :

EF = GT

FG = LA

LE = AT = 10

LA = 24 ; FG = 24

FG + EF + GT = 40

Let : EF and GT = x

FG + 2x = 40

24 + 2x = 40

2x = 40 - 24

2x = 16

x = 16 ÷ 2 = 8

Hence, EF = GT = 8

Using Pythagoras :

Opposite² = hypotenus² - Adjacent²

LF² = LE² - FE²

LF² = 10² - 8²

LF² = 100 - 64

LF² = 36

LF = √36

LF = 6

If x and y vary inversely and x = 5 when y = -3.5, what is the value of x when y = 10?
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

k = xy

Putting values of x and y in the equation

k = (5)(-3.5)

= - 17.5

Finding value of x when y = 10

k = xy

- 17.5 = x10

Bringing like terms on one side

- 17.5 - 10 = x

-27.5 = x

The table shows the height of several buildings in the chicago use the table to determine whether the height of the building is
sleet_krkn [62]
We can't see the table but if every input or x has only one specific output or y then it is a function so if every different height has one number of stories then it's a function you can have it though to were say you have 18 feet and 17 feet and they are both 3 stories then it's still a function but if you have 18 feet thats 3 stories and 18 feet thats 4 stories then its not a function
