∆ABC ~ ∆WXY. What is the value of x? (show work)

1 answer:

4 0

You need to set up ratios to solve for x. It's all about proportions here. I'm going to set up the ratio with the smaller triangle stuff (the one on the left) on top and the larger triangle stuff on bottom. Corresponding sides rule the day. $\frac{8}{12}= \frac{x}{18}$ . Cross-multiply to solve for x. 12x=144 and x = 12.

What are the coordinates of the image of the point (2, –6) under a dilation with a center of (0, 0) and a scale factor of 1/2

ycow [4]

That would be (1, -3) because you basically divide the coordinates by the scale factor, in this case 2.

Write an appropriate inverse variation equation if y = 9 when x = 3.

pav-90 [236]

$\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{direct proportional variation}\\\\
\textit{\underline{y} varies directly with \underline{x}}\qquad \qquad y=kx\impliedby 
\begin{array}{llll}
k=constant\ of\\
\qquad variation
\end{array}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\begin{cases}
y=9\\
x=3
\end{cases}\implies 9=k3\implies \cfrac{9}{3}=k\implies \boxed{3=k}
\\\\\\
thus\qquad y=3x$

What is the theoretical probability of rolling two consecutive numbers<br>when rolling two dice?

Art [367]

Answer:

2.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of rolling the number once is $\frac{1}{6}$ , and the probability of it happening again is $\frac{1}{6}$ , so multiply and get $\frac{1}{36}$ , which is approximately 2.7%
