Answer:

BC=15\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In a parallelogram opposite sides are congruent

In this problem

we have that

AB and DC are opposite sides

AD and BC are opposite sides

so

AB=DC

AD=BC

step 1

Find the value of x

AB=DC

substitute the given values

x+15=4x

solve for x

4x-x=15

3x=15

x=5\ units

step 2

Find the length of AD

we have that

AD=x+10

substitute the value of x

AD=5+10=15\ units

step 3

Find the length of BC

Remember that

AD=BC ----> by opposite sides

therefore

BC=15\ units

The perimeter of a triangle is 170 feet and the sides are in the ratio of 25:14:12. Find the area of the triangle.
Viktor [21]
Let
x,y, and z the long sides of the triangle 

we know that

x+y+z=170 ft------> equation 1
x/y=25/14----> y=14x/25------> equation 2
y/z=14/12-----> equation 3
x/z=25/12----> z=12x/25------> equation 4

substitute equation 2 and equation 4 in equation 1
x+[14x/25]+[12x/25]=170------> multiply by 25 both sides
25x+14x+12x=4250
51x=4250
x=4250/51
x=250/3
y=14x/25------> y=(250/3)*(14/25)----> y=140/3
z=12y/14-----> (140/3)*12/14----> z=40

Using Heron's formula,
Area of the triangle = √s (s-a) (s-b) (s-c)
where s is the semiperimeter
s=170/2-----> s=85 ft
Area=√85*[85-250/3]*[85-140/3]*[85-40]
Area=9.22*[1.67]*[38.33]*[45]------> Area=26558.21 ft²

the answer is
26558.21 ft²

Can someone please help??
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

let the number of cows = x

let the number of chickens = y

since there are 42 heads:

x + y = 42

and since a cow has 4 legs, and a chicken has 2

4x + 2y = 144

from first equation:

x + y  = 42

x = 42 - y (now, we will substitute this in the second equation)

4(42 - y) + 2y = 144

168 - 4y + 2y  = 144

2y = 168 - 144

2y = 24

y = 12

now, we know the number of chickens. we will replace y with 12 in the first equation since it is more simpler

x + 12 = 42

x = 30

So, there are 30 cows and 12 chickens
