Answer:

Option D is correct.

Value of x is, 10 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle Proportionality theorem states that if a line parallel to one side of a triangle intersects the other two sides of a triangle, then the line divide these two sides proportionality.

Given that: \overline{PQ} || \overline{BC}

From the given figure, we have;

AP = 3 units , PB = 6 units , QC = 20 units and AQ = x units.

then, by triangle proportionality theorem;

\frac{AP}{PB} =\frac{AQ}{QC}

Substitute the given values, to find the value of x;

\frac{3}{6} =\frac{x}{20}

By cross multiply we have;

60 = 6x

Divide both sides by 6 we get;

10 = x

Therefore, the value of x is, 10 units

Use a net to find the surface area of the open cylinder with only one base. Use 3.14 for pi.
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

251.20 cm square

Step-by-step explanation:

As given in figure

height of cylinder = 2 cm

radius of cylinder = 8 cm

lateral surface area of cylinder is given by = \pi r l

where r is the radius and l is the height

Therefore, lateral surface area of given cylinder

\pi r l = 3.14*8*2 = 50.24

area of base is give by \pi r^2

since there is only one base area of that base

= \pi r^2 = 3.14*8^2 = 3.14*64 = 200.96

Thus,

Total surface area of open cylinder = 50.24 + 200.96 = 251.20 cm square

Marketing analysis determined 55% of females between the ages of 25 to 34 years old search for green technology and practice bei
wolverine [178]

According to the given percentages, it is found that there is a 67% probability that a randomly selected man between the age of 25 and 34 does not search for green technology.

<h3>What is a probability?</h3>

A probability is given by the <u>number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes</u>.

We have that 33% of men search for green technology, hence, there is a 100 - 33 = 67% probability that a randomly selected man between the age of 25 and 34 does not search for green technology.
