How do I find X for this problem? I’m stuck

Corresponding sides of the two triangles occur in a ratio with one another. In particular, you have the relationship

\dfrac6{6+x}=\dfrac{10}{15}=\dfrac y{y+4}

We only need the first two parts to solve for x:

\dfrac6{6+x}=\dfrac{10}{15}\implies6\cdot15=10(6+x)\implies90=60+10x\implies30=10x

\implies\boxed{x=3}

Find the area of the given quadrilateral.<br> Pls :)
Tasya [4]

I think your teacher may have made a typo. Refer to the diagram below. If we ignore segment ZA for now, we can see a rectangle forms with angle W = angle Y = 90. Also, we can see that WX = 6 is the horizontal base and WZ = 8 is the vertical height.

However, the side opposite WZ (which is XY) should also be 8 cm tall, and not 6 cm. If XY was 6 cm, then point Y would move to where point A is located (and the quadrilateral would be WXAZ instead of WXYZ). This new quadrilateral would not have a 90 degree angle at point Y's new location.

In other words, if we want angle Y to be 90 degrees, then side XY must be 8 units long. I have a feeling this is where the typo is, but your teacher might have been intending to say something else.

Gnesinka [82]
Laurie must make 4.5 batches for the school bake sale, and 2 batches for her family. Therefore, in total, Laurie must make 4.5 + 2 = 6.5 batches of cookies.

Since each batch of cookies requires 0.25 pounds of butter, we can multiply that amount by the number of batches baked: 0.25 * 6.5 = 1.625 pounds of butter.

So Laurie uses 1.625 pounds of butter to make all the cookies.

Find the constant of variation k for the direct variation ​
Alla [95]

Answer:

The constant of variation is k = -2 ⇒ (B)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the direct variation is y = k x, where

  • k is the constant of variation
  • The constant of variation k = \frac{y}{x}

The given table has 4 points (-1, 2), (0, 0), (2, -4), (5, -10)

We can use one of the points <em>[except point (0, 0)]</em> to find the value of k

∵ (-1, 2) is a given point

∴ x = -1 and y = 2

∵ k = \frac{y}{x}

→ Substitute the values of x and y in the relation above

∴ k = \frac{2}{-1}

∴ k = -2

The constant of variation is k = -2
