ABC is similar to ADEF. Find x. GEOMETRY

Mathematics
1 answer:

The value of x in the given diagram is 10

<h3>Similar triangles </h3>

From the question, we are to determine the value of the side labeled x

First, we will find the value of side |BC|

By the <em>Pythagorean theorem</em>, we can write that

|BC|² = 12² + 16²

|BC|² = 144 + 256

|BC|² = 400

|BC| = √400

|BC| = 20

Now,

Since ΔABC and ΔDEF are similar, we can write that

|BC| / |EF| = P ΔABC / P ΔDEF

But,

P ΔABC = 12 + 16 + 20 = 48

Thus,

|BC| / |EF| = P ΔABC / P ΔDEF becomes

20/ |EF| = 48/24

20/x = 2

x = 20/2

x = 10

Hence, the value of x in the given diagram is 10

The texture in this Klimt painting is? 100 points
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

After the peak of Klimt’s Golden Phase in 1907-8, there was a decline in his use of gold leaf in his paintings, the relationship with his young protégé Egon Schiele developed, and he had separated from the Vienna Secession over its exclusion of crafts from its exhibitions.

Klimt still used precious metal leaf, including gold and platinum, in his Hope II (1907-08), originally titled Vision by the artist. As with his Hope I, it is a portrait of a woman who is heavily pregnant. The woman’s head is bowed and her eyes closed, which is echoed in the heads of three other women at the foot.

Please help asap!!

If I were solving this equation, I would put x^2-20x+(100)=(10). Since this is in standard form, you could change this into vertex form by making the equation      y=(x-10)^2 -10.

What is the value of w? 28=4(w−3)
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

w=10

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Divide 4 on both sides to cancel out the 4 on the right side since it is an equation so it has to remain “equal”/ balanced.

2. You get 7=w-3.

3. Add 3 on both sides.

4.You get w=10.

Help all of these are confusing me

Answer:

  • b
  • b
  • a
  • b

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a few algebraic, geometric, and trig relations you are expected to remember. These come into play in this set of questions.

  • vertex form for equation of a parabola: y = a(x -h)² +k, has vertex at (h, k)
  • Sine Law relates triangle sides and their opposite angles: a/sin(A) = b/sin(B)
  • Cosine Law relates triangle sides and the angle between two of them: c² = a² +b² -2ab·cos(C)
  • SOH CAH TOA reminds you of trig relations in a right triangle
  • relationships of corresponding sides and angles in congruent and similar triangles: angles are congruent; sides are congruent or proportional.

When solving any problem, the first step is to understand what is being asked. The second step is to identify the relevant information and relationships that can help you answer.

<h3>1)</h3>

You are asked for the equation of a parabola with a given vertex. The vertex form equation will be useful. We can assume a scale factor ('a') of 1.

For vertex (h, k) = (1, -4) and a=1, the vertex form equation is ...

  y = a(x -h)² +k

  y = 1(x -1)² +(-4)

  y = (x -1)² -4

<h3>2)</h3>

You are given 3 sides and want to find an angle. The useful relation in this case is the Cosine Law. (If you wanted to use the Sine Law, you would already need to know an angle.)

<h3>3) </h3>

The mnemonic SOA CAH TOA reminds you that the cosine relation is ...

  Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

The side adjacent to angle C is marked 4; the hypotenuse is marked 5. The desired ratio is ...

  cos(C) = 4/5

<h3>4)</h3>

The measure x is also the measure of side AB. The similarity statement lists those letters as the first two. It also lists the letters DE as the first two. The other given side in ΔABC is BC, corresponding to side EF in the smaller triangle. Corresponding sides are proportional, so we have ...

  AB/DE = BC/EF

  x/6 = 10/4

We can find the value of x by multiplying this equation by 6:

  x = 6(10/4) = 60/4

  x = 15

Please note that BC is the shortest side in ΔABC. This means x > 10. There is only one such answer choice. (No math necessary.)
