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}

NEED TO KNOW ASAP PLEASE HELP
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

You are <em>squaring x and -5 on the first equation</em>, and on the second equation you are <em>just squaring x and subtracting 5.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

And since on the first equation x and -5 are in parenthesis that means that the square goes to both of them.

And the second one there is no parenthesis so the square only goes to the x.

I hope this helps you.

Neko [114]
Jack must score 28 problems correct. To get a 92% he must answer 92% of the 30 questions right. which means 0.92*30=27.6, but it is not possible to score 0.6 of a problem right so you would round to 28, which guarantees Jack scores a 92 because if we round down, Jack would score less than a 92

Lilit [14]
A) profit/original price x100 =percentage profit

(Profit: 360-300=$60)

=60/300 x100
=20%

b) two cameras (original price): 300x2= $600
two cameras (price sold): 360x2 = $720

Profit without discount: 720-600= $120

120-100= $20 discount
