We all know that a triangle has 180 degrees.
3x-8+5x-6+4x+2=180
12x-12=180
12x=180+12
12x=192
x=16.


∠A=2(16)+8=40
∠B= 90-16=74
∠C = 5(16) -14= 66

Answer:

\triangle ABC \sim \triangle A'B'C'        

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

\triangle ABC \sim \triangle A'B'C'

\angle A = 3x - 8, \angle B = 5x - 6, \angle C = 4x + 2.

\angle A' = 2x + 8, \angle B' = 90 - x,  \angle C' = 5x - 14

According to angle sum property of triangle the sum of all the three angles of triangle is 180.

\triangle ABC\\\angle A + \angle B + \angle C = 180^\circ\\3x -8+5x-6+4x+2 = 180\\12x-12 = 180\\12x = 192\\x = 16

For the two triangles to be similar by AA criterion.

\angle A = \angle A'\\\angle B = \angle B'

\angle A = 3x - 8 = 40\\\angle A' = 2x + 8 = 40\\\angle B = 5x - 6 = 74\\\angle B' = 90 - x = 74

Thus, this confirms that the triangles are congruent.

\triangle ABC \sim \triangle A'B'C'

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (5, -6) and has a<br> slope of 3/5
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

y = 3/5x + -9

or y = 3/5x - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you are already given the slope for this equation all you have to do is plug in the ordered pair in this equation: y = mx+b

Here is what this equation stands for:

y = the y in the order pair you are given, in this case it would be -6

m = This is the slope, sometimes you may not be given the slope so you would have to find it, but in this case, you are given it, the slope is 3/5

x = the x in the ordered pair you are given, in this case it would be 5

b = This is the y-intercept, you will mostly be solving for this most of the time

(5,-6)

(x, y)

y = mx+b (Use this Formula)

-6 = 3/5(5) +b (The numbers have been substituted within the formula)

-6 = 3+b (simplify the equation by multiplying the slope by the x)

-6-3 = b ( once simplified the left side of the equation, go to the right side, but remember when you do that you have to change the sign because you are eliminating 3 on the left side completely, "what you do on one side, do it to the other side")

-9 = b (solve)

y = 3/5x + -9 (plug in the slope and B(y-intercept) within the formula - y = mx+b, make sure that you are not plugging in x and y for this step)

I Hope This Helped You Understand this Problem Better/More!!! Stay Safe and Healthy!

The temperature T in degrees Celsius of a liquid t minutes after heating is given by the formula T=8√t. When is the temperature
Advocard [28]
T=8√t
T=temperature
t=time in minutes.
If T=48, we have to calculate the time.

48=8√t
(48)²=(8√t)²
2304=64t
t=2304 / 64=36

answer: 48 degrees Celsius will be reached in 36 minutes.
