we know that

Triangles ABC and DEC are similar triangles

$\frac{AB}{AC} =\frac{ED}{DC}$

substitute the values

$\frac{42}{x} =\frac{6}{32-x}$

$42*(32-x)=6*x$

$7*(32-x)=x$

$224-7x=x$

$8x=224$

$x=28$

therefore

the answer is

The value of x is equal to $28$

Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation:

When you are finding the area, the formula is A= Pi R^2.

The radius is half of the diameter. To get a diameter of 6, you have to multiply 3 by 2.

The area of a circle is 39.62cm2. Find the length of the radius rounded to 2 DP.

Shkiper50 [21]

Using the formula for area of a circle:

Area = pi x radius^2

Replace area with the given value:

39.62 = pi x radius^2

Divide both sides by pi

Radius^2 = 39.62/pi

Radius^2 = 12.62

Solve for radius by taking the square root of both sides

Radius = sqrt(12.62)

Radius = 3.55 cm

Find the average rate of change over the interval [-1,2] (from x = -1 to x = 2) for the graph below

Lyrx [107]

Hello!

Find the coordinate where x = -1:

At x = -1, y = 1, so the coordinate is (-1, 1).

Find the coordinate where x = 2:

At x = 2, y = -2, so the coordinate is (2, -2).

Find the rate of change between the points using the slope formula:

$slope = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

Plug in the coordinates above:

$slope = \frac{-2-1}{2-(-1)}$

Simplify:

$slope = \frac{-3}{3} = -1$

Thus, the rate of change between the points is -1.

The sum of four consecutive integers is at least 18. What's the smallest consecutive integer to make this statement true?

Ghella [55]

Let the four consecutive integers be

x , x+1, x+2, x+3

ATQ, Their sum is 18

$\sf \: x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3 = 18$

$\sf \: 4x + 1 + 2 + 3 = 18$

$\sf4x + 6 = 18$

$\sf4x = 18 - 6$

$\sf4x = 12$

$\boxed{ \mathfrak{x = 3}}$

1st number = x = 3
2nd number = x+1 = 3+1 = 4
3rd number = x+2 = 3+2 = 5
4th number = x+3 = 3+3 = 6

The four numbers are 3,4,5,6 respectively and the smallest number among them is 3...~

A set of data already has the values 11, 14, 23, and 16. What value would have to be added to the set for the mean of the five n

KonstantinChe [14]

1) Take 18 and multiply it by 5 = 90
2) Then subtract 26 = 64
3) Then subtract 18 = 46
4) Then subtract 12 = 34
5) Then subtract 8 = 26

The answer is 26.
