Refer to attached annotated figure below.


Step 1: prove triangle ABD is similar to triangle BCD

1. ∠ ADB = ∠ BDC (given)

2. ∠ BAD = 90-y; ∠ DBC= 90-y, => ∠ BAD is congruent to ∠ CBD.

=> triangle ABD is similar to triangle BCD [AA]


Step 2: find length of AD

Using Pythagoras theorem, AD^2=AB^2-BD^2 = 5^2-4^2=9

=> AD=3


Step 3: use the property that corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional: BC/BD = AB/AD

substitute values

AB=5, AD=3, BD=4, BC=x

x/4=5/3

solve for x

x=5*4/3=20/3

or x=6.67 (to 2 decimal places)

An omelette costs $1.50 more than Mario's order of pancakes. After treating his family to breakfast, Mario is sure that 4 omelet
masha68 [24]
The other answer here, by Nicholasrichar, has the correct answers,
but it's a pain to follow through step-by-step because of the formatting
problem.  Here's my solution, leading to the same answers:

P = cost of pancakes
cost of omeletto, = P+1.50

4 omelettes = 4P + 6
3 pancakes = 3P

Total cost of food = 7P + 6
After 7% tax         = 1.07(7P + 6)
After tip                = 1.07(7P + 6) + 3.50

Eliminate parentheses:  1.07(7P) + 1.07(6) + 3.50 =
                                        7.49P    +    6.42  + 3.50  = 

Total cost of breakfast:        7.49P + 9.92 .

Having a "range" between $25 and $40 is really two inequalities:

First inequality:    $25 < 7.49P + 9.92

Subtract 9.92 from each side:  15.08 < 7.49P

Divide each side by 7.49:          $2.013 < P

An order of pancakes costs more than $2.01 .


Second inequality:    7.49P + 9.92 < $40

Subtract  9.92 from each side:  7.49P < 30.08

Divide each side by  7.49 :              P < $4.016

An order of pancakes costs less than $4.02.

The price range of an order of pancakes is   $2.01 < Pancakes < $4.02 .

Sam and Jack received a cash voucher and they divided the amount equally between them.
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Total voucher value is 1352

Step-by-step explanation:

X eqals voucher amount

Sam money 1/2x - 35

Jack money 1/2x - 78

Both 1239 = 1/2x - 35 + 1/2x - 78

1239 = x - 113 /+113 both sides

<u>1352 = x</u>

Gold-192 is a radioactive isotope with a half-life of 4.95 hours. How long will it take for a 15 gram sample of Gold-192 to deca
aksik [14]

The answer should be A. In order to solve these half-life problems, I encourage you to find an algebra calculator online, and plug in these numbers. The remaining grams goes in front, so 3.


The entire equation should look something like 3 = 15(1/2)^t/4.95


The 4.95 represents how long it takes before the sample halves, t is your answer, 1/2 represents the value halving every 4.95 hours, 15 is the initial sample size, and 3 is the end result that remains.


The overall answer should be about 11.5 hours, as per an algebra calculator.

Hope this helps solve any other similar problems
