Quadrilaterals ABCD and PQRS shown below are two similar figures.Find the values of x and y.​

Mathematics
1 answer:
nadezda [96]3 years ago

Answer:

x = 12, y = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the figures are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

\frac{AD}{PS} = \frac{DC}{SR} , substitute values

\frac{20}{2x+6} = \frac{18}{27} ( cross- multiply )

18(2x + 6) = 540 ( divide both sides by 18 )

2x + 6 = 30 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

2x = 24 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 12

-------------------------------------------

and

\frac{AB}{PQ} = \frac{DC}{SR} , substitute values

\frac{y}{24} = \frac{18}{27} ( cross- multiply )

27y = 432 ( divide both sides by 27 )

y = 16

Hiiiiiioo helpppp pleas I want to undertsand

The answer is:  [C]:  " y = 3x + 1 " .
_____________________________________________________
Note:  By looking at the graph, we see that it passed through the point, " (0, 1) " (at the y-intercept).
_____________________________________________________
Consider choice:  [A]:  "y = 3x" ;  When "x = 0" ; what does "y" equal ?
→  y = 3x = 3(0) = 0 ; → "(0, 0)" is a solution; NOT "(0, 1)" ; so rule out "[A]" .
________________________________________________________
Consider choice:  [B]:  "y = 3x − 1" ;  When "x = 0" ; what does "y" equal ?
→  y = 3(0)−1 =0−1 = -1;  → "(0, -1)" is a solution; NOT "(0, 1)" ; so rule out "[B]" .
________________________________________________________
Consider choice:  [C]:  "y = 3x + 1" ;  When "x = 0" ; what does "y" equal ?
→  y = 3(0)+1 = 0+1 = 1;   → "(0, -1)" is a solution;  so "choice [C]" is possible.
________________________________________________________
Consider choice:  [D]:  "y = 3x² + 1"; When "x = 0" ; what does "y" equal ?
→  y = 3(0²)+1 = 0+1 = 1; → "(0, 1)" is a solution;  so "choice [D]" is possible.
________________________________________________________
However;  choice: [D]: is a parabola, not a line; so we determine that the correct answer is:  Choice [C]:  "y = 3x + 1" .

How do you find the equation that is perpendicular to 2x-5y=20, passing through the point (7,-8)?
IrinaK [193]
To find a perpendicular line you first need to see the equation in slope intercept form. To do that you need to solve for y. 

2x - 5y = 20 ---> subtract 2x from both sides
-5y = -2x + 20 ---> divide by -5
y = 2/5x - 4

Now that you have this, note that a perpendicular line has opposite and reciprocal slope. Since the slope in our equation is 2/5, that means the new line will have -5/2 slope. So we use the point given and the slope to find the y intercept. 

y = mx + b
-8 = -5/2(7) + b ---> multiply
-8 = -35/2 + b ---> add 35/2 to both sides
19/2 = b

Now use our new slope and new y intercept to write the new equation. 

y = -5/2x + 19/2

How can you use standard deviations to compare the spread of each data set?
ozzi

Calculate the standard deviation for each data set:

Sample A = 1.246

Sample B = 2.924

The smaller the deviation the closer the data set is, the larger the deviation the more widespread the data set is.

Sample B has a larger deviation so the spread of the data is wider.

An office building has the shape of a right rectangular prism with a width 20 meters. length 40, height 60. Draw the shape of on
balu736 [363]

Answer:

The draw in the attached figure

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

An office building has the shape of a right rectangular prism with a width 20 meters. length 40, height 60

so

The shape of one floor of the building is equal to the shape of the rectangular base of the prism

therefore

One floor of the building is a rectangle with

Length 40 m

Width 20 m

see the attached figure
