Answer: The required value of x is 7.5.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that the triangles shown in the figure are similar by AA similarity postulate.

We are to find the value of x.

We know that the corresponding sides of the similar triangles are proportional.

From the figure, we see that two pairs of corresponding sides in the triangles are (4.5, 3) and (x, 5).

Therefore, we must have

$\dfrac{4.5}{3}=\dfrac{x}{5}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{4.5\times5}{3}\\\\\Rightarrow x=1.5\times5\\\\\Rightarrow x=7.5.$

Thus, the required value of x is 7.5.

Hello!

4/5 = (4 + 8)/x
4x = 5(12) = 60
x = 60/4 = 15

I hope this helps!

Find the distance between the pair of points and then round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Travka [436]

Answer:

$d = 9.4 units$ (nearest tenth)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the distance formula, $d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$ , distance between (-4, 5) and (4, 0) is calculated as follows:

Let $(-4, 5) = (x_1, y_1)$

$(4, 0) = (x_2, y_2)$

$d = \sqrt{(4 - (-4))^2 + (0 - 5)^2}$

$d = \sqrt{(8)^2 + (- 5)^2}$

$d = \sqrt{64 + 25}$

$d = \sqrt{89}$

$d = 9.4 units$ (nearest tenth)

Cos 4θ − cos 2θ = sin θ

hichkok12 [17]

$cos(4\theta) - cos(2\theta) = sin(\theta)$
$-2sin(\frac{4\theta + 2\theta}{2})sin(\frac{4\theta - 2\theta}{2}) = sin(\theta)$
$-2sin(\frac{6\theta}{2}sin\frac{2\theta}{2}) = sin(\theta)$
$-2sin(3\theta)sin(\theta) = sin(\theta)$
$\frac{-2sin(3\theta)sin(\theta)}{-2sin(\theta)} = \frac{sin(\theta)}{-2sin(\theta)}$
$sin(3\theta) = -\frac{1}{2}$
$sin^{-1}[sin(3\theta)] = sin^{-1}(-\frac{1}{2})$
$3\theta = -30$
$\frac{3\theta}{3} = \frac{-30}{3}$
$\theta = -10$
