The value of x is 9.

Solution:

Proportionality theorem:

If a line is parallel to one side of a triangle intersects the other two sides, then it divides the two sides proportionally.

In the given triangle, the middle line is parallel to the base, so the sides are in the same ratio.

$$\Rightarrow\frac{9}{72} =\frac{3x-20}{56}$

Do cross multiplication.

⇒ 9 × 56 = 72(3x – 20)

⇒ 504 = 216 x – 1440

Add 1440 on both sides of the equation.

⇒ 1944 = 216 x

Divide by 216 on both sides of the equation.

⇒ 9 = x

Switch the sides.

⇒ x = 9

The value of x is 9.

Answer:

angles in a triangle add up to 180°

5:12:13 = 30

180 ÷ 30 = 6

6 × 5 = 30°

6 × 12 = 72°

6 × 13 = 78°

angles = 30°, 72°, 78°

Find the area and perimeter of each composite figure use 3.14 for pi round your answer to the nearest 10th

Ad libitum [116K]

1. Perimeter is 3 + 3 +3 +4 +5 = 18 feet

Area = 3*3 = 9, 1/2*3*4 = 6, 9 + 6 =15 square feet

2. perimeter = 2.5 +2.5+ 2.5+2.5+0.5+0.5 = 11 meters

Area = 3*.5 = 1.5, 3*2=6, 6+1.5 = 7.5 square meters

3. perimeter = 3.14*2*3 = 18.84 +8 = 26.8 inches

Area = 6*4 = 24 + 3.14*3^2 = 28.26 = 28.26 +24 = 52.3 inches

4. surface area = 2*π*6*20+2*π*6^2= 980.2 yards

Volume = π*6^2*20 = 2261.9 cubic yards

5.surface area = 2*(9*7+2*2+2*9) = 190 cm

Volume = 2*7*9 = 126 cubic cm

6. surface area = 2*(11*11+11*11+11*11) = 726 mm

Volume = 11 *11*11 = 1331 cubic cm

Pls solve the simultaneous equation in the attachment.

siniylev [52]

Answer:

Part a) The solution is the ordered pair (6,10)

Part b) The solutions are the ordered pairs (7,3) and (15,1.4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) we have

$\frac{x}{2}-\frac{y}{5}=1$ ----> equation A

$y-\frac{x}{3}=8$ ----> equation B

Multiply equation A by 10 both sides to remove the fractions

$5x-2y=10$ ----> equation C

isolate the variable y in equation B

$y=\frac{x}{3}+8$ ----> equation D

we have the system of equations

$5x-2y=10$ ----> equation C

$y=\frac{x}{3}+8$ ----> equation D

Solve the system by substitution

substitute equation D in equation C

$5x-2(\frac{x}{3}+8)=10$

solve for x

$5x-\frac{2x}{3}-16=10$

Multiply by 3 both sides

$15x-2x-48=30$

$15x-2x=48+30$

Combine like terms

$13x=78$

$x=6$

Find the value of y

$y=\frac{x}{3}+8$

$y=\frac{6}{3}+8$

$y=10$

The solution is the ordered pair (6,10)

Part b) we have

$xy=21$ ---> equation A

$x+5y=22$ ----> equation B

isolate the variable x in the equation B

$x=22-5y$ ----> equation C

substitute equation C in equation A

$(22-5y)y=21$

solve for y

$22y-5y^2=21$

$5y^2-22y+21=0$

Solve the quadratic equation by graphing

The solutions are y=1.4, y=3

see the attached figure

Find the values of x

For y=1.4

$x=22-5(1.4)=15$

For y=3

$x=22-5(3)=7$

therefore

The solutions are the ordered pairs (7,3) and (15,1.4)
