Identify the similar triangles in the figure, then find the value of x.

Mathematics
1 answer:
-BARSIC- [3]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Part a) ABD and CDE are similar by AA Similarity Postulate

Part b) x=18\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the  ratio of its corresponding sides is equal and its corresponding angles are congruent

In this figure Triangles ABD and CDE are similar by AA Similarity Postulate

\frac{AB}{ED}=\frac{BD}{CD}

substitute the values

\frac{x}{6}=\frac{12}{4}

x=6*12/4=18\ units

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

76 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the circumference formula, C = 2\pir

Plug in the radius:

C = 2\pir

C = 2\pi(12.1)

C = 76.0

So, the circumference is 76 ft

Which two tables represent the same function?
topjm [15]

Answer:

The 1st and the 5th tables represent the same function

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- There are five tables of functions, two of them are equal

- To find the two equal function lets find their equations

- The form of the equation of a line whose endpoints are (x1 , y1) and

  (x2 , y2) is \frac{y-y_{1}}{x-x_{1}}=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

* Lets make the equation of each table

# (x1 , y1) = (4 , 8) and (x2 , y2) = (6 , 7)

∵ x1 = 4 , x2 = 6 and y1 = 8 , y2 = 7

∴ \frac{y-8}{x-4}=\frac{7-8}{6-4}

∴ \frac{y-8}{x-4}=\frac{-1}{2}

- By using cross multiplication

∴ 2(y - 8) = -1(x - 4) ⇒ simplify

∴ 2y - 16 = -x + 4 ⇒ add x and 16 for two sides

∴ x + 2y = 20 ⇒ (1)

# (x1 , y1) = (4 , 5) and (x2 , y2) = (6 , 4)

∵ x1 = 4 , x2 = 6 and y1 = 5 , y2 = 4

∴ \frac{y-5}{x-4}=\frac{4-5}{6-4}

∴ \frac{y-5}{x-4}=\frac{-1}{2}

- By using cross multiplication

∴ 2(y - 5) = -1(x - 4) ⇒ simplify

∴ 2y - 10 = -x + 4 ⇒ add x and 10 for two sides

∴ x + 2y = 14 ⇒ (2)

# (x1 , y1) = (2 , 8) and (x2 , y2) = (8 , 5)

∵ x1 = 2 , x2 = 8 and y1 = 8 , y2 = 5

∴ \frac{y-8}{x-2}=\frac{5-8}{8-2}

∴ \frac{y-8}{x-2}=\frac{-3}{6}=====\frac{y-8}{x-2}=\frac{-1}{2}

- By using cross multiplication

∴ 2(y - 8) = -1(x - 2) ⇒ simplify

∴ 2y - 16 = -x + 2 ⇒ add x and 16 for two sides

∴ x + 2y = 18 ⇒ (3)

# (x1 , y1) = (2 , 10) and (x2 , y2) = (6 , 14)

∵ x1 = 2 , x2 = 6 and y1 = 10 , y2 = 14

∴ \frac{y-10}{x-2}=\frac{14-10}{6-2}

∴ \frac{y-10}{x-2}=\frac{4}{4}======\frac{y-10}{x-2}=1

- By using cross multiplication

∴ (y - 10) = (x - 2)

∴ y - 10 = x - 2 ⇒ add 2 and subtract y in the two sides

∴ -8 = x - y ⇒ switch the two sides

∴ x - y = -8 ⇒ (4)

# (x1 , y1) = (2 , 9) and (x2 , y2) = (8 , 6)

∵ x1 = 2 , x2 = 8 and y1 = 9 , y2 = 6

∴ \frac{y-9}{x-2}=\frac{6-9}{8-2}

∴ \frac{y-9}{x-2}=\frac{-3}{6}======\frac{y-9}{x-2}=\frac{-1}{2}

- By using cross multiplication

∴ 2(y - 9) = -1(x - 2) ⇒ simplify

∴ 2y - 18 = -x + 2 ⇒ add x and 18 for two sides

∴ x + 2y = 20 ⇒ (5)

- Equations (1) and (5) are the same

∴ The 1st and the 5th tables represent the same function
