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.

Suppose you know the perimeter of n octagons arranged as shown. What would you do to find the perimeter if 1 more octagon was ad
kogti [31]

As shown in the figures given :

For Figure 1 : perimeter = 8 units   [As can be seen in the figure]

For figure 2(with 2 octagons) : perimeter = 8 × 2 - 1 = 15 units    [since 1 side is common ]

For figure 2(with 3 octagons) : perimeter = 8 × 3 - 2 = 22 units  [since 2 sides is common ]

If one more octagon is added

then perimeter = 8 × 4 - 3 = 29 units    [since 3 sides will be common ]

I cant resolve this equation : 2x = -2x + 8, can you help me please
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

OK so lets do it together.

2x = -2x + 8

Subtract 8 from both sides

2x - 8 = -2x

Add 2x to both sides

4x - 8 = 0

Add 8 to both sides

4x = 8

Divide each side by 4

x = 2

Check:

4 = -4 + 8

4 = 4

correct

If my answer is incorrect, pls correct me!

If you like my answer and explanation, mark me as brainliest!

In circle O, what is mArc A E?
posledela

Answer:

Option (3). 120° will be the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

By using the theorem of secants intersecting externally,

Measure of angle formed by two secants, from a point outside the circle is half the difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs.

m∠C = \frac{1}{2}(m\widehat{AE}-m\widehat{BD})

36° = \frac{1}{2}(m\widehat{AE}-48)

72° = m\widehat{AE}-48°

m\widehat{AE} = 72 + 48

m\widehat{AE} = 120°

Therefore, Option (3) is the answer.
