Answer: The length of side RT and side NQ is 51 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Δ RST ≅ Δ NPT

RT=7x-5 , NQ= 5x+11

To find: RT =? and NQ=?

Solution:

Since, given triangles are congruent .And Congruent triangles have equal sides.

$\Delta RST$ ≅ $\Delta NPQ$

So,

RT= NQ = 7x-5 = 5x+11

Solving for x we get ,x = 8

RT =7x-5 = 7 × (8) - 5 = 51 units

NQ = 5x+11 = 5 × (8) + 11 = 51 units

7x + 5 = 5x + 11
2x + 5 = 11
2x = 6
x = 3

7(3) + 5
21 + 5 = 26

How is the derivative of a function related to the slop of the function?

statuscvo [17]

Hi there!

The derivative of the function is the slope of the function at a specific x-value, or its instantaneous rate of change.

For example, take the equation y = x².

Using the power rule, we get:

y' = 2x

If we plug in any x-value into this equation, we can find the slope of the function at any point.

Ex:

x = 0; 2(0) = slope of 0

x = 2; 2(2) = slope of 4

What is the angle, in degrees, if the Area is 180 square miles and the radius is 42,240 feet?

Savatey [412]

Step-by-step explanation:

the area of a circle (all 360°) is

pi×r²

with r being the radius.

the area of a circle segment is just the corresponding fraction of the whole circle.

so the area of a segment of x degrees is

pi×r² × x/360

in our case we know

pi×42240² × x/360 = 180 mi²

we also know that there are 5280 ft in 1 mile.

so, the radius is actually

42240 / 5280 = 8 miles

and therefore our equation resulting in mi² has to use miles and not ft and has to look that way :

pi×8² × x/360 = 180 mi²

pi×64 × x/360 = 180

pi×64 × x = 180×360

pi×x = 180×360/64 = 1012.5

x = 1012.5/pi = 322.2887598...°

so, the angle of the segment of a circle with the area of 180 mi² and the radius of 8 mi is 322.2887598...°
