For similar triangles ΔRST and ΔRYX proportion RY/RS = RX/RT = XY/TS is true.

Given that, for ΔRST, line XY is drawn parallel to side ST within ΔRST to form ΔRYX.

Considering ΔRST and ΔRYX.

<h3>What is the relation between sides of similar triangles?</h3>

The corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional.

We get ∠RXY=∠RST (Corresponding angles, since XY║ST)

∠RYX=∠RTS (Corresponding angles, since XY║ST)

From AA similarity criteria ΔRST is similar to ΔRYX.

Now, RY/RS = RX/RT = XY/TS.

Therefore, for similar triangles ΔRST and ΔRYX proportion RY/RS = RX/RT = XY/TS is true.

(SAT prep) Find the value of x in each case of the following exercises:

yKpoI14uk [10]

The value of x from the figure is 70°

<h3>How to determine the value</h3>

It is important to note that alternate angles are equal and angles in a triangle sum up to 180°

We then have that,

x + 50 + 60 = 180 °

x + 110 = 180°

Make 'x' subject

x = 180 - 110

x = 70 °

Thus, the value of x from the figure is 70°

Leahs age is twice her cosins age. If they add thier ages together, they get 36. How old are leah and her cosin

Art [367]

Leah is 24 and her cousin is 12. Since 24 is double of 12, thats your answer and it makes the most sense.

A fossil was analyzed and determined to have a carbon-14 level that is 80 % that of living organisms. the half-life of c-14 is 5

liq [111]

Answer:

The fossil is 1860 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the amount of fossil has the following format:

$Q(t) = Q(0)e^{rt}$

In which Q(t) is the amount after t years, Q(0) is the initial amount and r is the rate of change.

Half-life of c-14 is 5730 years.

This means that $Q(5730) = 0.5Q(0)$

$Q(t) = Q(0)e^{rt}$

$0.5Q(0) = Q(0)e^{5730r}$

$e^{5730r} = 0.5$

$\ln{e^{5730r}} = \ln{0.5}$

$5730r = \ln{0.5}$

$r = \frac{\ln{0.5}}{5730}$

$r = -0.00012$

$Q(t) = Q(0)e^{-0.00012t}$

How old is the fossil?

This is t for which

$Q(t) = 0.8Q(0)$

$Q(t) = Q(0)e^{-0.00012t}$

$0.8Q(0) = Q(0)e^{-0.00012t}$

$e^{-0.00012t} = 0.8$

$\ln{e^{-0.00012t}} = \ln{0.8}$

$-0.00012t = \ln{0.8}$

$t = -\frac{\ln{0.8}}{-0.00012}$

$t = 1860$

The fossil is 1860 years old.
