Answer:  The value of x is 12 units and the scale factor is \dfrac{4}{3}.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that the triangle DEF is similar to the triangle RST.

We are to find the value of x and the scale factor of the dilation.

We know that the corresponding sides of the similar triangles are proportional.

So, we must have

\dfrac{DE}{RS}=\dfrac{EF}{ST}\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{3}{x}=\dfrac{4}{16}\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{3}{x}=\dfrac{1}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow x=3\times4\\\\\Rightarrow x=12.

The scale factor is given by

S=\dfrac{\textup{length of a side of the dilated triangle}}{\textup{length of the corresponding side of the original triangle}}\\\\\\\Rightarrow S=\dfrac{RS}{DE}\\\\\\\Rightarrow S=\dfrac{4}{3}.

Thus, the value of x is 12 units and the scale factor is \dfrac{4}{3}.

Using the given points and line, determine the slope of the line. (-3,0) and (2,7)
o-na [289]

Answer:

slope = \frac{7}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 3, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, 7)

m = \frac{7-0}{2+3} = \frac{7}{5}

Show that the cosine law simplifies to the Pythagorean theorem when the contained angle between the two known sides is 90°.
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

See Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to show that the Law of Cosines simplifies to the Pythagorean Theorem when the contained angle between the two known sides is 90°.

The Law of Cosines is given by:

c^2=a^2+b^2-2ab\cos(C)

Where <em>a </em>and <em>b</em> are the two known sides, and C is the angle between them.

If C is 90° then we will have:

c^2=a^2+b^2-2ab\cos(90 ^\circ)

Recall that the cos(90°)=0. Hence:

c^2=a^2+b^2-2ab(0)

Simplify:

c^2=a^2+b^2

So, we acquire the Pythagorean Theorem as desired.
