In isosceles pqr with base , pq = 2x + 3, and pr = 9x - 11. what is the value of x?

1 answer:

8 0

First, draw and label a rough sketch of an isosceles triangle. Now put in the values of pq=2x+3 and pr=9x-11

You know that the triangle is isosceles, therefore, the sides pq and pr are identical.

Now, make the equations equal to each other to find the value of x.

2x+3=9x-11
3+11=9x-2x
14=7x
14/7=x
2=x

Therefore the value of x=2.

Hope I helped :)

Trapezoid DEFG is dilated by scale factor of 2\3 to form trapezoid D'E'FG. Side E'F' measures 32. What is the measure of side EF

Mamont248 [21]

Answer: 48

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Trapezoid DEFG is dilated by a scale factor of $\frac{2}{3}$

$E'F'=32$

Suppose the length of EF is $x$

Multiply the side length of DEFG by $\frac{2}{3}$ to form E'F'

$\Rightarrow E'F'=x\times \dfrac{2}{3}\\\\\Rightarrow 32=x\times \dfrac{2}{3}\\\\\Rightarrow x=16\times 3\\\Rightarrow x=48$

$\therefore EF=48$

mr scott rented a bicycle for 6 hours on saturday and then several more hours on sunday. it cost $4 per hour to rent the bicycle

julia-pushkina [17]

Well, we know that he rode it on Saturday for 6 hours, and that it costs $4 per hour. So what we must do is multiply 6 by $4. That gives us 24 dollars. Now, subtract $48 by $24 to get $24. Now you know that he rode 6 hours on Saturday and Sunday.
