The value of x in the similar triangles is 18

<h3>How to solve similar triangles?</h3>

Similar triangles have the same shapes but may have different sizes.

Corresponding side of similar triangles are a ratio of each other.

Therefore,

UV / BC = AU / AB

Hence,

UV = 444 units

BC = 703

AU = 20x + 108

AB = 20x + 108 + 273 = 20x + 381

Therefore,

444 / 703 = 20x + 108 /  20x + 381

cross multiply

444( 20x + 381) = 703(20x + 108)

8880x + 169164 = 14060x + 75924

8880x  - 14060x  = 75924 -  169164

-5180x = -93240

x = -93240 / -5180

x = 18

Therefore, the value of x in the similar triangles is 18

An antique dealer has 24 clock radios to sell at 12 a 12 hour long antique Radio sale use the graph to complete the table why is
Lerok [7]

Answer:

R = -H + 24

Step-by-step explanation:

An antique dealer has 24 clock radios to sell 12 at  a 12 hour long antique Radio sale

12 radios are sold in 12 Hour

Table

Hours                Radio Available Remaining

0                        24

2                        22

4                        20

6                        18

8                        16

10                       14

12                        12

Line of equation R = mH + c

R = Radios Available / Remaining to be sold

H = Hours of Sale passed

m = slope of line

c = constant

H = 0  ,  R = 24

24 = 0 + c

=> c = 24

R = mH + 24

for H =2 R = 22

22 = 2m + 24

=> m = -1

R = -H + 24

As every passing hour he will be able to sell a radio so number of radios available will keep decreasing so there is a sign of - multiplied by H

24 is the radio available at beginning of sale.

if we plot a graph for Radio sold against hours

then equation would be

R = H     ( c = 0 as no radio sold at beginning of sale)
