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)

–5x < 35 what the answer and how to solve it
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

-7

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we know that we are solving for x so what we need to do is to find out what times -5=35.

We know that

-5x7=-35

So we know our answer cant be positive 7, which means we need the opposite of 7 which is -7.

And:

-5x-7=35

This makes the equation true:

Hence, the correct answer is -7

At a 3​-mile ​cross-country race, an athlete runs 2 miles at 6 mph and 1 mile at 12 mph. What is the​ athlete's average​ speed?
Tom [10]

Answer: the average speed is 7.5 mph or at least im pretty sure

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because if you make the 2 miles at 6 mph to 1 mile at 3 mph then you get 1 mile at 3mph and 1 mile at 12 mph. now that you have the unit rates of these you can add them. 1 + 1 = 2 miles and 3 + 12 = 15 mph now divide this by two and you get 7.5 mph per mile.

I hope this helped, if it did could you give me a good rating? lol

I need help on question 9.
KengaRu [80]

Answer: C) 40 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

if the total angle is 70 degrees and part of it is 30 degrees

then the other part is x degrees

30 + x = 70

30 - 30 + x = 70 - 30

x= 40

Hope this helped!
