Answer:

QR = 6.8

XZ = 16.25

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use ratios to solve since the triangles are similar

7.2         QR

------- = ------------

18           17

Using cross products

7.2 *17 = QR*18

Divide by 18

7.2 *17/18 = QR*18/18

QR = 6.8

7.2          6.5

------- = ------------

18           XZ

Using cross products

7.2 XZ = 6.5*18

Divide by 7.2

7.2 XZ = 6.5*18/7.2

XZ = 16.25

Answer:

a) 16.25 centimeters

b) 6.8 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up a proportion for both of these problems.

a) Look at the longest side of each triangle. We can set up a fraction: 7.2/18. We can also set up a fraction for XZ and PR:

6.5/x

x represents the length you're trying to find.

Since the triangles are similar, we have an equation:

7.2/18=6.5/x

Cross multiply

16.25

XZ is 16.25 centimeters long.

b)

We can do same thing:

7.2/18=x/17

Cross multiply

6.8

QR is 6.8 centimeters long.

Hope this helps!

I solved this problem : 33 + 45 + 78 how could i check my answer?​
Vlad [161]

Step-by-step explanation:

So the answer for 33+45+78 is 156.

If you want to check that, you can use inverse operations, so subtract.

156-78=78. (Check 78)

78-45=33 (Check 45 and 33)

Well, now it's checked because we used all the factors of the equation!

What is the area of the largest rectangle that can be inscribed in an isosceles triangle with side lengths $8$, $\sqrt{80}$, and
e-lub [12.9K]
First let's solve the general case for an isosceles triangle of base 2 and height k. If the triangle is drawn so the base is on the x-axis and the apex is on the y-axis, the equation for the line containing the right side is
  y = -k(x-1)
Then a rectangle with x-dimension w will have an area that is the product of this width and the height y = -k((w/2)-1).
  area = w(-k(w/2 -1)) = (-k/2)w² +kw
The derivative of area with respect to w will be zero where the area is a maximum:
  d(area)/dw = 0 = -kw +k
  w = 1 . . . . . . add kw and divide by k
Using the formula for area, we find
  area = 1(-k(1/2-1)) = k/2
This value is 1/2 the total area of the triangle we started with.

If the side lengths of your triangle are 8, √80, and √80, the height will be given by the Pythagorean theorem as
  h = √((√80)² - (1/2·8)²) = √(80-16) = 8
Your triangle's area will be
  triangle area = (1/2)(8)(8) = 32

The maximum area of the inscribed rectangle will be half this value,
  16 square units

A bottle holds exactly 2/3 pint of liquid. How many 2/3-pint bottles can be filled from a 24-pint container
kifflom [539]

Answer:

36 number of 2/3-pint bottles can be filled from a 24-pint container

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the container is 24 pint

Volume of the bottle is 2/3 pint

Number of 2/3 pint bottles that can be filled from 24 pint container is

\frac{24}{\frac{2}{3} } \\= 24 * \frac{3}{2} \\= 12 * 3\\= 36

36 number of 2/3-pint bottles can be filled from a 24-pint container

License plates are made using 3 letters followed by 2 digits. How many plates can be made if repetition of letters and digits is
Helga [31]

Answer:

26^3\times10^2 = 1757600

option B is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 5 spaces in the license plate:

_ _ _ _ _

we have 26 available letters, and 10 available numbers.

starting with letters:

  • how many choices do i have to place the 1st letter? 26.

26 _ _ _ _

  • how many choices do i have to place the 2nd letter? 26 (since we're allowed to repeat letters)

26 26 _ _ _

  • how many choices do i have to place the 3rd letter? 26

26 26 26 _ _

we've used all the places for letters, (note: the exact position of the letters doesn't matter here, the first letter could've been placed anywhere in _ _ _ _ _, but the amount of possible choices for letters would always be 26).

let's move on to numbers.

  • how many choices do i have to place the 1st number? 10

26 26 26 10 _

  • how many choices do i have to place the 2nd number? 10

26 26 26 10 10

we've completed our number plate. Next we'll simply multiply all these numbers to get all the possible arrangements in which numbers and letters can be displayed on a license place.

26^3\times10^2 = 1757600

option B is correct
