We can solve this this as if the greater than sign were an equal sign. we'll solve for b.
1. use the distributive property: 2(b-8) = 2b-16
2. add 16 to both sides: 2b-16>12 = 2b>28
3. divide both sides by 2 to get b isolated: 2b>28 = b>14
therefore, your answer it b > 14

Joe measured the diameter of a tennis ball correct to the nearest millimetre. The upper bound of his measurement was 6.75 centim
Mandarinka [93]

The lower bound of the measurement is 65.5 millimetres.

A centimetre equals 10 millimetres, a measure is expressed by the <em>measured</em> magnitude plus uncertainty, the latter one represents the grade of precision of the measure instrument. That is to say:

y = x + \epsilon (1)

Where:

  • x - Measured magnitude, in millimeters.
  • y - Possible magnitude, in millimeters.
  • \epsilon - Uncertainty, in millimeters.

If we know that y = 67.5\,mm and \epsilon = 1\,mm, then the lower bound of the measurement is:

y = 67.5\,mm - 2\cdot (1\,mm)

y = 65.5\,mm

The lower bound of the measurement is 65.5 millimeters.

Am I right?? <br> * Show examples &amp; details if I am wrong!! *
baherus [9]

Yes, you are correct.

From the image, we can see 3 triangles, the large triangle and the two triangles that make the larger triangle.

All 3 of these triangles are similar since they're angle measurements are the same (can be proven by geometry).

We can gather the following information from the given information.

  • The largest triangle (the one made up of two triangles) has a hypotenuse of 3+9=12, and a leg length of x. The hypotenuse to leg ratio is 12/x
  • The second largest triangle has a hypotenuse length x and leg length 9. The hypotenuse to leg ratio is x/9

We know the hypotenuse to corresponding leg ratio must be equal since these two triangles are similar. Thus, we have the equation:

12/x = x/9

Using the cross product property gives us:

x² = 9 × 12

x² = 108

Taking the square root of both sides gives us:

x = √108

= 6 √3

Thus, your answer is correct. Great job!

Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!

Prove that the two circles shown below are similar. ​
Setler [38]

Answer:

The scale factor is \frac{R_{A}}{R_{C}}=\frac{5}{2}

<u>We can say that both circles are similar.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

If we move the little circle to the center of the bigger circle, so the <u>translate vector will be (3,5).</u>

Now we realize that the bigger circle is just a dilation of the smaller circle, the<u> scale factor is:</u>

R_{A}=5

R_{C}=2

\frac{R_{A}}{R_{C}}=\frac{5}{2}

Therefore, <u>we can say that both circles are similiar.</u>

<u />

I hope it helps you!
