The two triangles are similar. What is the value of x? Enter your answer in the box. x = Two right triangles, one smaller than t

he other, back to back, so that their right angles form a straight angle. The two acute angles along the straight angle are congruent to each other. The overlapping part of the legs is labeled 20. The part of the overlapping side that extends above the smaller triangle is labeled 8. The leg of the smaller triangle that is a ray of the straight angle is labeled 3 x. The leg of the larger angle that is a ray of the straight angle is labeled 4 x plus 2.

<span>x = 4
   Given the description of the triangles, you have 2 similar right triangles. The smaller triangle has a height of 20 and a base of 3x, while the larger has a height of (20+8) = 28 and a base of 4x + 2. We wish to determine the value of x. Since the triangles are similar, the ratio of corresponding sides will be a constant. So:
 20/28 = (3x)/(4x+2)
 (4x+2)20/28 = (3x)
 (20/28)*4x+(20/28)*2 = (3x)
 (80/28)*x+(40/28) = (3x)
 (20/7)*x + 4/7 = 3x
 4/7 = 3x - (20/7)*x
 4/7 = (21/7)x - (20/7)*x
 4/7 = x/7
 4 = x
   So the value of x is 4.</span>

It costs $3.45 to buy 2 lbs of chopped walnuts.how much would it cost to purchase 7 lbs of walnuts?
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

$12.075

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how much one pound of walnuts cost you need to divide 3.45(cost) and 2 (how much) and you get 1.725. That means how much one pound cost ...now that you know that all you have to do is multiply 1.725 by 7. You get $12.075 :)

10. Use the vertical line test to determine if the graph below
klasskru [66]

The graph is a function. When drawing a vertical line, there will be two circumstances:

  1. The line intersects only one point on a graph.
  2. The line intersects more than one point on a graph ( POI > 1 )

For the first circumstance, the graph that has only one intersect with a line - it is a function. For the second circumstance, the graph cannot be a function as it gives more than one y-value for a single x-value.

The conclusion is that if a line only has one intersect on a graph then it is a function. Otherwise, not a function but a relation instead. All functions are relations, but not all relations can be functions.

Answer

  • The graph passes the vertical line test and is a function.
