Find the exact value of x

Mathematics
1 answer:
tresset_1 [31]3 years ago
6 0

ΔABC and ΔCBD are similar. Therefore we have the proportion:

\dfrac{AB}{BC}=\dfrac{BC}{BD}\\\\AB=6;\ BC=x;\ BD=2

Substitute:

\dfrac{6}{x}=\dfrac{x}{2}    <em>cross multiply</em>

(x)(x)=(6)(2)\\\\x^2=12\to x=\sqrt{12}\\\\x=\sqrt{4\cdot3}\\\\x=\sqrt4\cdot\sqrt3\\\\\boxed{x=2\sqrt3}

The diameter of a car wheel is 60 cm, if the car travels at an average speed of 13.2m/s, find the number of revolutions made by
mixer [17]

The wheel has diameter 60 cm = 0.60 m, and thus circumference π(0.60 m) ≈ 5.923 m.

In one complete revolution, a point on the edge of the wheel covers this distance, so that the wheel has an angular speed of

(13.2 m/s) * (1/5.923 rev/m) ≈ 2.229 rev/s

There are 60 seconds to each minute, and 60 minutes to each hour, so converting to rev/h gives

(2.229 rev/s) * (60 s/min) * (60 min/h) ≈ 8024 rev/h

PLEASE HELP URGENT<br><br> Given \tan \theta =0.6, find the value of b.
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

b=8.5cm

Step-by-step explanation:

tanx (this represents tan theta, it's just easier to type) is equal to 0.6 and since the tanx ratio is opp/adj, we know that opp/adj = 0.6

To find what b is (adjacent as it is adjacent to the angle being used and it is not the hypotenuse), we just have to rearrange.

0.6=5.1/adj

to solve for adj, we can switch 0.6 and adj. (This works because to get adj by itself on one side you would multiply it to the other side and then divide 0.6 from both sides --> simple algebra)

so then you have

adj=5.1/0.6

adj=8.5cm

(if you want to check your solution you can use pythagoeran theorem, a^2+b^2=c^2) and sub everything in and make sure all the numbers equal the right thing!
