12 m 20 m 16 m 6m 10m x find the length represented by x for each pair of similar triangles

Mathematics
1 answer:
defon3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

<h2>x = 8m</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two triangles be represented as A and B.

Given two triangles with sides 12m 20m 16m and 6m 10m x.

Lengths of sides of triangle A = 12m, 20m, 16m

Lengths of sides of triangle B = 6m, 10m, x

It can be seen that each length of triangle A are twice that of B i.e triangle B dilated by a factor of 1/2.

A = 2B

<u>Considering the 16m length in triangle A  and comparing it with the 'x'm length in triangle B, we can get the unknown length x as shown;</u>

16 = 2x

x = 16/2

x = 8m

A medium size apple weighs about 225
maxonik [38]

Answer:

Concept: Unit Conversion and Application

  1. 1 apple = 225 gram
  2. 225 grams to kg = 0.225
  3. Remember there are 1000 grams in a kg
  4. Hence we want to know how many apples make up 1.5 kg
  5. 1.5/0.225=6.66 apples
  6. But we must be conservative to not underproject
  7. Hence 7 apples

PLEASE HELO OK 1,3,4 ITS DUE TOMORROW
sukhopar [10]

#1. The number line goes by intervals of 0.2, so if A is equal to 7.28, then it’ll go in between the first line after 7 and the second line after 7. This is similar with B and C. B will go on the second line after 9, and C will go in between the second and third line after 10.

#3. You started out well. You combine your like terms on the sides of the equation to get 8x - 2 = 4x + 6. Then, you’ll subtract 4x to get 4x - 2 = 6. Add 2 to get 4x =8, then divide by 4 to get x = 2. On the other one, combine your terms to get -6 + 5y = 29. Then, add 6 so you have 5y = 35. Divide by 5 to get y = 7.

#4. When you classify a number, you need to classify it as whatever it is in your disgramdiagram, and the larger ones as well. For example, -2 is an integer, so it is also a rational number. 3/4 is a rational number. The square root of 2 over 2 is an irrational number. 292 is a counting, whole, integer, and rational number. -19/3 is a rational number. 6.9696... is an irrational number. (It has the three dots [...] so it’ll go on forever with no pattern.)

I hope this helps! Please tell me if you need any clarification. :)

What is the vertex of the graph of y = x2 + 2x + 1? (0, 1) (−1, 0) (−2, 1) (1, 4)
Contact [7]

Answer:

(-1,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

the vertex is the highest or lowest point of a function where both lines meet and since (-1,0) is the lowest point and the next 2 are above it, so that makes (-1,0) the vertex.

Hope it helps the explanation is a little poor but I tried my hardest.

I attached a photo and if you look you can kind of see what I'm saying.
