Answer:

The correct answer is 25

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attached figure.

SAS similarity theorem mean that when two triangles have corresponding angles are congruent and corresponding sides with identical ratios the triangles are similar.

So, if ΔONM similar ΔSRQ by the SAS similarity theorem

∴∠N = ∠R

And

$\frac{NM}{RQ} =\frac{NO}{RS}$

given that NM = 10 , NO = 8 , QR = x , RS = 20

∴ $\frac{10}{x} =\frac{8}{20}$

∴ $x=\frac{10*20}{8} =25$

So, the value of x will make ONM similar SRQ by the SAS similarity theorem = 25

A glass cylinder is completely filled with 24x^5y^8 cubic inches of salt solution. The jug has a base area of 4x^5 square inches

xz_007 [3.2K]

We know that

volume of a cylinder=area of the base*height
area of the base=4x^5 in²
height=<span>24x^5y^8/ 4x^5 in
volume=</span>24x^5y^8 in³

height=24x^5y^8/ 4x^5 ------> (24/4)*(x^5/x^5)*(y^8)------> (6)*(1)*(y^8)-----> 6y^8

the answer is
B: 6y^8

What are the solutions to the equation (x – 2)(x + 5) = 0?

nataly862011 [7]

A product of two (or more) factor can be zero if and only if at least one of the factors is zero.

In other words, you cannot multiply two non-zero real numbers, and have zero as a result.

So, if we want the product of these two factors to be zero, at least one of them has to be zero.

The first factor is zero if

$x-2 = 0 \iff x=2$
