Answer:

The x-intercept of CD is -19/5

Step-by-step explanation:

If the coordinates of the first point is (-3, 2) and the coordinates of the point B are (7, 6) then we need first to find the equation of the line CD:

We know that the general equation of the line is:

y-y0 = m(x-x0) where (x0, y0) represents a point that belongs to the line and m, is the slope which can be calculated by using the following formula:

m = (x1 - x0) / (y1 - y0)

In this case:

(x1, y1) = (7, 6)

(x0, y0) = (-3, 2)

Then:

m = (7 - (-3))/(6-2) = 10/4 = 5/2.

Then, the equation of the line is:

y-y0 = m(x-x0)

y - 2 = 5/2 (x -(-3))

y = 5/2(x+3) + 2

To find the x intercept we make y=0.

Then y = 5/2(x+3) + 2 = 0

Then:

x = -4/5 - 3 = -19/5

★ ∆ ABC is similar to ∆DEF

${\large{\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Solution :}}}}}}$

Since, ∆ ABC is similar to ∆DEF

[ Whenever two traingles are similar, the ratio of the areas of two similar triangles is equal to the square of the ratio of their corresponding sides. ]

$\therefore \tt \boxed{ \tt \dfrac{area( \triangle \: ABC )}{area( \triangle \: DEF)} = { \bigg(\frac{BC}{EF} \bigg)}^{2} }$

❍ Putting the values, [Given by the question]

• Area of triangle ABC = 64cm²

• Area of triangle DEF = 121cm²

• Side EF = 15.4 cm

$\implies \tt \dfrac{64 \: {cm}^{2} }{12 \: {cm}^{2} } = { \bigg( \dfrac{BC}{15.4 \: cm} \bigg) }^{2}$

❍ By solving we get,

$\implies \tt \sqrt{\dfrac{{64 \: cm}^{2} }{ 121 \: {cm}^{2} }} = \bigg( \dfrac{BC}{15.4 \: cm} \bigg)$

$\implies \tt \sqrt{\dfrac{{(8 \: cm)}^{2} }{ {(11 \: cm)}^{2} }} = \bigg( \dfrac{BC}{15.4 \: cm} \bigg)$

$\implies \tt \dfrac{8 \: cm}{11 \: cm} = \dfrac{BC}{15.4 \: cm}$

$\implies \tt \dfrac{8 \: cm \times 15.4 \: cm}{11 \: cm} = BC$

$\implies \tt \dfrac{123.2 }{11 } cm = BC$

$\implies \tt \purple{ 11.2 \: cm} = BC$

Hence, BC = 11.2 cm.

Someone pls help me

Nat2105 [25]

The answer should be AC+BC

We can answer this by applying the rule called "Greater angle, greater side". This is where in any triangle, the opposite side of the larger angle is also longer.

So in this question, first we have to find the largest 2 angles, which is ∠ABC and ∠BAC with measures of 120° and 35° respectively. Therefore, from the diagram, the opposite sides of the angles are AC and BC.

Therefore, the answer should be AC+BC.

The following table shows the number of classes that

Tresset [83]

Answer:

There are 6 classes we find the median by finding the middle number of the 3rd highest class and 4th highest class, even if this is a decimal.

6/3 = 3+ 0.5

The process would be different if some values are the same values already on the chart total of each class.

ie) 20 31 14 22 20 31

small data like this below you can rearrange

14 20 20 22 31 31

and see that 21 is the correct value

as there are even numbers, so we choose 20 , 22

and select the middle value = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

If there is an even number of numbers locate the two middle numbers so that there is an equal number of values to the left and to the right of these two numbers. Step 3: If there is an odd number of numbers, this middle number is the median. If there is an even number of numbers add the two middles and divide by 2.

Kate has a rectangular garden that is 8 feet long by 3 feet wide. She wishes to extend the length and width by the same amount i

elena55 [62]

Let the extension of the length and width be x.
The new dimensions are: Length = 8+x
Width =3+x
Area = 104 ft squared
Area of a rectangle = Length x Width
Therefore,
(8+x)(3+x) = 104
x^2 +11x +24=104
x^2 +11x +24-104=0
x^2 +11x-80=0

Factorize using splitting the middle term method. X^2 +16x-5x-80=0 x(x+16)-5(x+16)=0 (x-5)(x+16)=0 either x-5 = 0 or x+16=0 x=5 or x=-16 length and width measure cannot be negative. Therefore, the extension of the length and width is 5 feet each.
