The median triangle is a line segment that connects the vertex and the midpoint of the opposite side. Therefore, in the given, we can say that RS = QS

Equating RS and QS, we will find the value of X

RS = QS
5x-11 = 2x+7
5x-2x = 7+11 ⇒ combine like terms
3x = 18 ⇒ divide both sides by 3 to get the x value
x = 6

Find the value of RS and QS, in this, we will show that two are equal

5(6)-11 = 2(6)+7
19 = 19 ⇒ correct

Therefore RQ is the sum of RS and QS or simply twice the length of either segment

RQ = 19 x 2 = 19 + 19 = 38 (D)

Find the area of the circle.

juin [17]

Answer:

See Explanation Below

Step-by-step explanation:

Your question isn't clear; However, I'll solve in two ways

1. Diameter = 14 cm

2. Radius = 14 cm

When Diameter = 14 cm

Given

$Area = \pi r^2$

$Diameter = 14cm$

Required

Calculate the area of the circle

First, the radius has to be solved;

$Radius = \frac{1}{2} Diameter$

$Radius = \frac{1}{2} * 14cm$

$Radius = 7cm$

Using the given formula;

The area is as follows

$Area = \pi r^2$

$Area = 3.14 * 7^2$

$Area = 3.14 * 49$

$Area = 153.86cm^2$

When Radius = 14 cm

Given

$Area = \pi r^2$

$Radius = 14cm$

Required

Calculate the area of the circle

Using the given formula;

The area is as follows

$Area = \pi r^2$

$Area = 3.14 * 14^2$

$Area = 3.14 * 196$

$Area = 615.44cm^2$

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the scale factor, we have ...

x/8 = 0.25/1

x = 8(0.25) . . . . multiply by 8

x = 2

Additional comment

I like to write proportions with the variable in the numerator. That way they are easily solved by a single multiplication. The trick is to get corresponding parts in the same positions. Here, the fractions are written ...

B/A = smaller part / larger part = x/8 = 0.25/1
