The formula of a perimeter of a rectangle:

$P=2(l+w)$

We have:

$P=120\ in\\\\l=w+10$

Substitute

$2(w+10+w)=120\\\\2(2w+10)=120\ \ \ \ |:2\\\\2w+10=60\ \ \ \ |-10\\\\2w=50\ \ \ \ |:2\\\\w=25\\\\l=25+10=35$

<h3>Answer: Length = 35 in, Width = 25 in.</h3>

Sonia is hanging up decorations in the ratio of 3red: 2green: 4white . If she hangs up 135 decorations in total , how many of ea

klasskru [66]

Answer:

She hung 45reds, 30greens and 60whites

Step-by-step explanation:

If Sonia is hanging up decorations in the ratio of 3red: 2green: 4white, the total amount of different she hung is 3+2+4 = 9different colours.

Of she hung 135decorations in total, the number of red = 3/9 × 135 = 45reds

Number of green = 2/9 × 135 = 30greens

Numbe of white = 4/9 × 135= 60whites

She hung 45reds, 30greens and 60whites

Unit 8 right triangles and trigonometry homework 3 similar right triangles and geometric mean

Ugo [173]

The right triangles that have an altitude which forms two right triangles

are similar to the two right triangles formed.

Responses:

1. ΔLJK ~ ΔKJM

ΔLJK ~ ΔLKM

ΔKJM ~ ΔLKM

2. ΔYWZ ~ ΔZWX

ΔYWZ ~ ΔYZW

ΔZWX ~ ΔYZW

3. x = 4.8

4. x ≈ 14.48

5. x ≈ 11.37

6. G.M. = 12·√3

7. G.M. = 6·√5

<h3>What condition guarantees the similarity of the right triangles?</h3>

1. ∠LMK = 90° given

∠JMK + ∠LMK = 180° linear pair angles

∠JMK = 180° - 90° = 90°

∠JKL ≅ ∠JMK All 90° angles are congruent

∠LJK ≅ ∠LJK reflexive property

ΔLJK is similar to ΔKJM by Angle–Angle, AA, similarity postulate

∠JLK ≅ ∠JLK by reflexive property

ΔLJK is similar to ΔLKM by AA similarity

By the property of equality for triangles that have equal interior angles, we have;

ΔKJM ~ ΔLKM

2. ∠YWZ ≅ ∠YWZ by reflexive property

∠WXZ ≅ ∠YZW all 90° angle are congruent

ΔYWZ is similar to ΔZWX, by AA similarity postulate

∠XYZ ≅ ∠WYZ by reflexive property

∠YXZ ≅ ∠YZW all 90° are congruent

ΔYWZ is similar to ΔYZW by AA similarity postulate

Therefore;

ΔZWX ~ ΔYZW

3. The ratio of corresponding sides in similar triangles are equal

From the similar triangles, we have;

$\dfrac{8}{10} = \mathbf{ \dfrac{x}{6}}$

8 × 6 = 10 × x

48 = 10·x

$x = \dfrac{48}{10} = \underline{4.8}$

3. From the similar triangles, we have;

$\mathbf{\dfrac{20}{29}} = \dfrac{x}{21}$

20 × 21 = x × 29

420 = 29·x

$x = \dfrac{420}{29 } \approx \underline{14.48}$

4. From the similar triangles, we have;

$\mathbf{\dfrac{20}{52}} = \dfrac{x}{48}$

20 × 48 = 52 × x

$x = \dfrac{20 \times 48}{52} = \dfrac{240}{13} \approx \underline{18.46}$

5. From the similar triangles, we have;

$\mathbf{\dfrac{13.2}{26}} = \dfrac{x}{22.4}$

13.2 × 22.4 = 26 × x

$x = \dfrac{13.2 \times 22.4}{26} \approx \underline{ 11.37}$

6. The geometric mean, G.M. is given by the formula;

$G.M. = \mathbf{\sqrt[n]{x_1 \times x_2 \times x_3 ... x_n}}$

The geometric mean of 16 and 27 is therefore;

$G.M. = \sqrt[2]{16 \times 27} = \sqrt[2]{432} = \sqrt[2]{144 \times 3} = \mathbf{12 \cdot \sqrt{3}}$

The geometric mean of 16 and 27 is 12·√3

7. The geometric mean of 5 and 36 is found as follows;

$G.M. = \sqrt[2]{5 \times 36} = \sqrt[2]{180} = \sqrt[2]{36 \times 5} = \mathbf{ 6 \cdot \sqrt{5}}$

The geometric mean of 5 and 36 is 6·√5

If a normal distribution has a mean of 62 and a standard deviation of 12 what is the z-score for a value of 80

kap26 [50]

Answer with explanation:

$\text{Mean}=\mu = 62\\\\ \text{standard deviation}=\sigma=12\\\\ \bar X=80\\\\Z_{score}=\frac{\bar X -\mu}{\sigma}\\\\Z_{score}=\frac{80-62}{12}\\\\Z_{score}=\frac{18}{12}\\\\Z_{score}=1.5$

Option B:→ 1.5

Solve all please and show ALLLL steps

ratelena [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

8b - 7 = 7b - 2

Bringing like terms on one side

8b - 7b = - 2 + 7

B = 5

-12 + 5k = 15 - 4k

Bringing like terms on one side

5k + 4k = 15 + 12

9k = 27

k = 27/9 = 3
