Answer: x= 21.20 and y =6.47 (wondering if the numbers written in were given? The lengths seem weird. For the top triangle, the drawing shows one length as 8, the other as 5, but clearly the "5" length is longer than the "8" length shown in the picture?)

Step-by-step explanation:

5/y = 17/22; now cross multiply:

17y = 5(22); 17y = 110; y = 6.47

Now for x:

8/6.47 = (8 + x-2)/22;

8/6.47= (6 + x)/22; now cross multiply:

6.47(6 + x) = 8(22)

38.82 + 6.47x = 176

6.47x = 137.18; divide by 6.47:

x = 21.20

Answer:

x = 21.2

y = 6.470588235

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use similar triangles and proportions to solve.  

KJ              KL

---------- = ----------

JM              MN

Substituting what we know

5          y

----- = ----------

5+12          22

Using cross products

5*22 = (12+5)y

5*22 = (17)y

Divide each side by 17

5*22/17  =17y/17

110/17 = y

6.470588235 =y

KJ              JL

---------- = ----------

JM              JN

Substituting what we know

5          8

----- = ----------

5+12      8+x-2

Using cross products

5 *(8+x-2) = 8(5+12)

5*(6+x) =8*17

Distribute

30+5x = 136

Subtract 30

30-30 +5x = 136-50

5x = 106

Divide by 5

5x/5 = 106/5

x =21.2

PLEASE HELP!! if sec x=5/3 what is the value of b? NL=20 LM=3b angle of L is x degrees.
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

a. b=4

Step-by-step explanation:

\sec \theta =\dfrac{1}{\cos \theta} = \dfrac{Hypotenuse}{Adjacent}

From the attached triangle drawn below:

NL=20,  LM=3b, \angle L=x^\circ

\sec x =\dfrac{20}{3b}

Since we are told that:

\sec x =\dfrac{5}{3}\\$Then:\\\dfrac{20}{3b} =\dfrac{5}{3}\\$Cross multiply\\5 \times 3b =20 \times 3\\15b=60\\$Divide both sides by 15\\15b \div 15 =60 \div 15\\b=4

The correct option is A.

One of Newton’s laws of motion states that objects in motion tend to stay in motion. What is the reason that this law may not al
Nastasia [14]

The answer is D.

The full specification of Newton's First Law is (from Wikipedia)

In an inertial frame of reference, an object either remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by a force.

On earth we're generally in slightly a non-inertial frame, with rotation and revolution around the sun. It's also impossible to turn of gravity, so objects are being acted upon by an outside force. Typically there's also the outside force of friction, which makes things tend to stop.

Which rectangular equation is equivalent to the polar equation r csc theta=8?
Drupady [299]
Rectangular and polar forms are two forms of equations that translates to plot. In this case, the two forms are convertible to each other by the expressions:

r sin theta = y
r cos theta = x
x2 + y2 = r2

we are given the polar expression r csc theta = 8 and is asked to convert to rectangular form.

in this case, csc theta is equal to 1/ sin theta. thys
 r / sin theta = 8

in order to make use of the equations above, then

we multiply r to both numerator and denominator in the left side, that is 
r^2 / r sin theta = 8 
x2+y2 / y = 8
x  2 + y2 = 8y
