If triangle abc is similar to def
That means all angles are the same and sides will be multiplied by some factor x. So AB(x)= DE
8x=24
Therefore x =3
Now BC=EF/x
BC=42/3
BC= 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of rectangle = 408 in²

Length = 3x-2 and width = x

The area of a rectangle is given by :

A = lb

(3x-2)x = 408

x = 12 inch and x = -11.33 in

Neglecting negative value,

The width of rectangle = 12 inch

The length of rectangle = 3x-2 = 3(12)-2 = 34 inch

12.

Base of triangle = 2x+2

Height = x

The area of a triangle is given by :

A=\dfrac{1}{2}bh\\\\600=\dfrac{1}{2}\times (2x+2)x\\\\600=(x+1)x

x = 24 cm and x = -25 cm

Neglecting negative value, x = 24 cm

Base = 2x+2 = 2(24)+2 = 50 cm

Hence, this is the required solution.

The period of a function is 4 pi how many cycles of the function occur in a horizontal length of 12 pi
eduard

Answer:

3 cycles

Step-by-step explanation:

in one period, you have one full cycle

because the period for this function is 4pi, you have one cycle per 4pi

if you have a total of 12pi, you would have 3 cycles (12pi/4pi=3)

hope this helps!
