Mathematics

Trava [24]3 years ago
8 0

Step-by-step explanation:

In each case, use similar triangles to write a proportion.

If it helps, draw each triangle separately, with the right angles in the same position.

7. Write a proportion between the smaller triangles:

5 / 8 = 8 / (x−5)

64 = 5 (x−5)

12.8 = x−5

x = 17.8

9. Write a proportion between the top triangle and the big triangle:

x / 4 = 4 / (x+6)

16 = x (x+6)

16 = x² + 6x

0 = x² + 6x − 16

0 = (x−2) (x+8)

x = 2

11. Write a proportion between the smaller triangles:

3 / 4 = 4 / x

16 = 3x

x = 5.33

13. Write a proportion between the top triangle and the big triangle:

3 / x = x / (3+4)

x² = 21

x = 4.58

What is the radius of a circle given by equation x^2 + y^2 - 2x + 8y - 47 = 0
Lera25 [3.4K]
X^2 + y^2 - 2x + 8y - 47 = 0
x^2 + y^2 - 2x + 8y = 47
(x^2 - 2x) + (y^2 + 8y) = 47
(x^2 - 2(1)x) + (y^2 + 2(4)y) = 47
(x^2 - 2(1)x + 1^2) + (y^2 + 2(4)y + 4^2) = 47 + 1^2 + 4^2
(x - 1)^2 + (y + 4)^2 = 64 = 8^2

A container holds 9 red markers, 13 blue markers, and 17 green markers. You will randomly select two markers without replacement
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

a.

                         R-------8/38--------RR

R------9/39--------B-------13/38-------RB

                          G------17/38--------RG

                          R-------9/38--------BR

B--------13/39------B-------12/38-------BB

                           G-------17/38-------BG

                             R-----9/38--------GR

G---------17/39-------B------13/38-------GB

                              G------16/38-------GG

b).

  • 9 ways
  • ways you can select 1 blue are; RB,BR,BG,GB

RB=9/39 × 13/38=3/38

BR= 13/39 × 9/38 =3/38

BG= 13/39 × 17/38=17/114

GB= 17/39 × 13/38=17/114

=3/38 +3/38+17/114+ 17/114 =26/57

  • Probability of selecting 2 red markers= RR = 9/39 × 8/38 =12/247

  • Probability of selecting a green marker and then a red marker= GR= 17/39×9/38 =51/494
