In the figure below

1) Using the theorem of similar triangles (ΔBXY and ΔBAC),

\frac{BX}{BA}=\frac{BY}{BC}=\frac{XY}{AC}

Where

\begin{gathered} BX=4 \\ BA=5 \\ BY=6 \\ BC\text{ = x} \end{gathered}

Thus,

\begin{gathered} \frac{4}{5}=\frac{6}{x} \\ \text{cross}-\text{multiply} \\ 4\times x=6\times5 \\ 4x=30 \\ \text{divide both sides by the coefficient of x, which is 4} \\ \text{thus,} \\ \frac{4x}{4}=\frac{30}{4} \\ x=7.5 \end{gathered}

thus, BC = 7.5

2) BX = 9, BA = 15, BY = 15, YC = y

In the above diagram,

\begin{gathered} BC=BY+YC \\ \Rightarrow BC=15\text{ + y} \end{gathered}

Thus, from the theorem of similar triangles,

\begin{gathered} \frac{BX}{BA}=\frac{BY}{BC}=\frac{XY}{AC} \\ \frac{9}{15}=\frac{15}{15+y} \end{gathered}

solving for y, we have

\begin{gathered} \frac{9}{15}=\frac{15}{15+y} \\ \text{cross}-\text{multiply} \\ 9(15+y)=15(15) \\ \text{open brackets} \\ 135+9y=225 \\ \text{collect like terms} \\ 9y\text{ = 225}-135 \\ 9y=90 \\ \text{divide both sides by the coefficient of y, which is 9} \\ \text{thus,} \\ \frac{9y}{9}=\frac{90}{9} \\ \Rightarrow y=10 \end{gathered}

thus, YC = 10.

Show your work<br><br> 7(x-8)=2x-31
victus00 [196]

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

7 (x-8)=2x-31

Distribute the 7 to the x and -8 (basically multiple 7 with the x and -8)

7x-56=2x -31

Drag the 2x over to the other subtracting it from 7x.

7x-2x-56=-31

5x-56=-31

Drag the 56 to the other side and add it to -31

5x= -31+56 (or 56-31)

5x= 25

Divide 5x from 25 to get your X

x=25/5

x=5

Hope this helps!!

I need only 16 and 17 please help
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

  16. a: (-90°, (4, 3)); b: (90°, (0, 3)); c: (-90°, (0, 0))

  17. a: (down, (4, -1)); b: (right, (4, 3)); c: (up, (5, 2))

Step-by-step explanation:

We don't know what notation you're used to seeing for rotations. Here. we'll use the form [degrees CCW, (center)]. (CW angles are negative.) In any rotation, the center is the point that is invariant (remains in the same place)

16.

a) The tail is invariant, so the rotation is (-90°, (4, 3)).

b) The tip is invariant, so the rotation is (90°, (0, 3)).

c) The origin is invariant, so the rotation is (-90°, (0, 0))

__

17.

a) The tail is invariant, so the arrow is pointing down with the tip at (4, -1).

b) The center is invariant, so the arrow is reversed. It is pointing right with the tip at (4, 3).

c) Point (2, 3) is invariant, so the arrow is pointing up with the center at (5, 0). The tip is at (5, 2).

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

If you have trouble visualizing these rotations, you might find it useful to trace the arrow on a piece of (semi-)transparent medium (plastic or tracing paper) so that you can move it as required to match the descriptions in the problem statement. A pin, or a dot on your tracing, can serve to fix the center of rotation. A little hands-on never hurts in math and geometry.

Trevon had $24 to spend on 5 pens after buying them he had $4 how much did each pen cost
alexira [117]
Ok.You have 24$. You used 20$. And you have $4 left. You bought 5 pens. So $20.00/ 5=$4.00. Each pen is four dollars.

Solve for x. 3x ^2 -4 = 8
LenKa [72]

Answer:

x = ±2

Step-by-step explanation:

3x ^2 -4 = 8

Add 4 to each side

3x ^2 -4+4 = 8+4

3x^2 =12

Divide each side by 3

3x^2 =12

3x^2/3 = 12/3

x^2 = 4

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = ±sqrt(4)

x = ±2

What is the value of x in the trangle? Enter your answer in the box. Round your final answer to the nearest hundredth.​
-Dominant- [34]

Use trigonometry.

cos(18°) = x/25

Multiply both sides by 25.

cos(18°)25 = x

23.7764129074 = x

We round off to the nearest hundredth. This means to round off to two decimal places.

Doing so, we get 23,78 cm = x.
