Answer:
1/14
Step-by-step explanation:
Odd numbers: 5, 7, 9
3/7 × 1/6
1/14
1) add 7 to both sides and get -5....so -5 >x
2) add 7 to both sides.....so get b<-5
3) add 17 to both side...so get z>1
To solve this problem, all we need to do is just set up a proportion. The two shapes are similar, which means that they are the same shape, but different sizes. Using the wording/letter arrangement in the problem, we can figure out which side of one triangle corresponds to which side of the other triangle.
Triangle LMV (with segments LM, MV, and VL) is similar to triangle UTK (with segments UT, TK, and KU).
Corresponding pairs:
LM(x) : UT(39)
MV(30) : TK(65)
VL : KU
However, we need only be interested in the first two pairs. Here is the proportion with letters:
LM / UT = MV / TK
and as numbers:
x / 39 = 30 / 65
Solve for x:
x / 39 = 30 / 65
Cross multiply:
(x)(65) = (39)(30)
Simplify:
65x = 1170
Divide:
65x/65 = 1170 / 65
Simplify:
x = 18
<h2>Answer:</h2>
The length of side LM (x) in triangle LMV is 18 units.
Answer:
Hypothenus = 22
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question given above, we were told that the triangles are congruent (i.e same size). Thus,
AC = EF
BC = DE
To obtain the length of each Hypothenus, we shall determine the value of y and x. This can be obtained as follow:
For y:
AC = y + 3
EF = 2y + 1
AC = EF
y + 3 = 2y + 1
Collect like terms
3 – 1 = 2y – y
2 = y
y = 2
For x:
BC = 5x + 7
DE = 6x + 2y
y = 2
DE = 6x + 2(2)
DE = 6x + 4
BC = DE
5x + 7 = 6x + 4
Collect like terms
7 – 4 = 6x – 5x
3 = x
x = 3
Finally, we shall determine the length of each Hypothenus. This can be obtained as follow:
Hypothenus = BC
Hypothenus = 5x + 7
x = 3
Hypothenus = 5x + 7
Hypothenus = 5(3) + 7
Hypothenus = 15 + 7
Hypothenus = 22
OR
Hypothenus = DE
DE = 6x + 2y
y = 2
x = 3
Hypothenus = 6(3) + 2(2)
Hypothenus = 18 + 4
Hypothenus = 22
