Answer: The value of x is 7 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let ABC is a triangle with mid -segment  DE parallel to the base BC.

the left side is labeled 40 cm below the mid -segment

i.e. BD = 40 cm

the left side is labeled 5 cm above the mid -segment

i.e. AD = 5 cm

Similarly,

The right side is labeled 2 x + 10 cm below the mid -segment

i.e. EC = 2x+10

The right side is labeled 3 cm above the mid -segment

i.e. AE = 3 cm

So, By Basic proportionality theorem,

The ratio of the other two sides is equal.

\frac{AD}{DB}=\frac{AE}{EC}\\\\\frac{5}{40}=\frac{3}{2x+10}\\\\\frac{1}{8}=\frac{3}{2x+10}\\\\2x+10=24\\\\2x=24-10\\\\2x=14\\\\x=\frac{14}{2}\\\\x=7 cm

Hence, the value of x is 7 cm.

Write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to y =3x-2 and that passes through the point(-9,5)
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

y = -1/3x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

If two lines are perpendicular, the signs of the slope must be opposite and the slopes are reciprocals.

(basically if one is say -2/3, the other is 3/2. just flip it upside down)

So this slope is 3, so the new slope should be -1/3

The equation is now y = -1/3x + b

To find b, substitute (-9,5) in the equation

y = -1/3x + b

5 = -1/3(9) + b

5 = -3 + b

8 = b

So the equation is y = -1/3x + b
