D. -2/3 because when you do (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) you get -4/6 which simplifies to -2/3
Easily, take the square root of the number in the right side to find the radius
is the answer
Since they are similar, you need to find the ratio of similarity (I made up the term, there is probably a correct one that I can’t remember).
If you divide 16/40, you’ll find that that ratio is 2.5. So then you just multiply 16 x 2.5. You’ll get 18.
18 is the length of the top of the trapezoid.
You set 18=2x+4 and solve it algebraically. Subtract 4 from both sides.
14=2x
Divide by 2 and x=7
(You can also check that the ratio is right by 16/18 is the same decimal value as 40/45. You’ll get .88888...)
Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
(x - 1)2 = 4
how to get this solved is very simple.
first step to apply is the BODMAS RULE
B..................... bracket
O..................... of
D.....................Division
M.................... multiplication
A..................... addition
S.................... Subtraction
so (x - 1)2 = 4
we have,
2x - 2 = 4 ( by opening the bracket)
collect the like terms
2x = 4+2
divide both sides by 2
2x/2 = 6/2
x = 3
to check if your answer is correct put the value of x = 3 into the question and see if the right hand side will equal to the left handside
(x - 1)2 = 4
(3-1)2=4
2(2)=4
4=4.............................. proved
