The lengths of the sides of a triangle are in the ratio

1 answer:

Anton [14]3 years ago

5 0

HOW TO SOLVE:

1) use x as a variable
2) the starting equation is:
  4x + 3x + 5x = 18

3) add all the like terms on the left side of the equation:
  12x = 18

4) Divide by 12 on both sides:
  x=1.5

5) Find the lengths of the sides:

- 4x = 4(1.5) = 6

- 3x = 3(1.5) = 4.5

- 5x = 5(1.5) = 7.5

SO, the lengths of the sides of this triangle are: 6, 4.5, and 7.5

(-6,8); perpendicular to y = -3/2x -1

UNO [17]

Answer:

$y = \frac{2}{3} x + 12$

Step-by-step explanation:

$y = - \frac{3}{2} x - 1$

The gradient of a line is the coefficient of x when the equation of the line is written in the form of y=mx+c.

Thus, gradient of given line= $- \frac{3}{2}$ .

The product of the gradients of perpendicular lines is -1.

(Gradient of line)(-3/2)= -1

Gradient of line

$- 1 \div ( - \frac{3}{2} ) \\ = - 1( - \frac{2}{3} ) \\ = \frac{2}{3}$

Substitute m= $\frac{2}{3}$ into y=mx+c:

$y = \frac{2}{3} x + c$

To find the value of c, substitute a pair of coordinates.

When x= -6, y= 8,

$8 = \frac{2}{3} ( - 6) + c \\ \\ 8 = - 4 + c \\ c = 8 + 4 \\ c = 12$

Thus, the equation of the line is $y = \frac{2}{3} x + 12$ .

Someone help me on this please

irina [24]

Answer:

C. The triangles are not similar.

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the short sides and long sides to see if they are similar:

24/16 = 1.5

36/28 = 1.29

The triangles are not similar.
