The values are x=8 and y=35, if the given ΔABC and ΔDEC are equal, it is obtained by Pythagoras theorem.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given are,

           From ΔABC,

                    AB= 6

                    BC= 10

                    AC = x

           From ΔDEC,

                    CD= 28

                    DE= 21

                    CE = y

Step:1

        Pythagoras theorem from  ΔABC,

                    BC^{2}=AB^{2} + AC^{2}...............(1)

       Substitute the values,

                   10^{2} = 6^{2} + AC^{2}

                  100 = 36 + AC^{2}

                   AC^{2} = 100 - 36

                           = 64

                    AC = \sqrt{64}

                    AC = 8

                  AC = x = 8

Step:2

        Pythagoras theorem for ΔDEC,

               CE^{2} = CD^{2}  + DE^{2}................(2)

       From the values,

              CE^{2} = 28^{2} + 21^{2}

             CE^{2} = 784 + 441

                     = 1225

              CE = \sqrt{1225}

              CE = 35

             CE = y = 35

Result:

         The values are x=8 and y=35, if the given ΔABC and ΔDEC are equal.

What is the value of x?
Lunna [17]

Answer:

x = 23 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

sin theta = opposite side/ hypotenuse

sin x= 9/23

Take the arcsin of each side

arcsin( sinx) = arcsin (9/23)

x = arcsin (9/23)

x=23.03568411

Rounding to the nearest degree

x = 23 degrees

180kg, 250kg, 200kg, 209kg, 195kg, 205kg, 190kg, 188kg, 192kg. What is the IQR of the lion's weights.
velikii [3]

Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data:

180kg, 250kg, 200kg, 209kg, 195kg, 205kg, 190kg, 188kg, 192kg

The interquartile range (IQR) = Q3 - Q1

Reordering the data:

180, 188, 190, 192, 195, 200, 205, 209, 250

Q3 = 3/4(n+1)th term

Q3 = 3/4(10) = 7.5 th term = (205+209)/2 = 207

Q1 = 1/4(n+1)th term

Q1 = 1/4(10) = 2.5th term = (188+190)/2 = 189

Q3 - Q1 = 207 - 189 = 18
