Find the values of x and y?​

Mathematics
1 answer:
katrin [286]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

x = 7; y = 4  

Step-by-step explanation:

∆ABC is an isosceles triangle.

∴ AC = BC and

(1) 3x - 5 = y + 12

∆ACD is an equilateral triangle.

∴ AC = AD and

(2) 3x - 5 = 5y - 4

From (1) and (2),

y + 12 = 5y - 4

y + 16 = 5y

    4y = 16

(3)   y =   4

Substitute (3) into (1)

3x - 5 = 4 + 12

3x - 5 = 16

     3x = 21

       x = 7

x = 7; y = 4

Check:

AC = 3x  -   5 = 3(7) -   5 = 21 -  5 = 16

BC =   y  + 12 = 4     + 12 = 16

AD = 5y -   4 = 5(4)  -   4 = 20 - 4 = 16

OK .

Answer:

Option d is right

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the time spent on a treadmill in the health club

Given that  research shows that on average, patrons spend an average of 42.5 minutes on the treadmill, with a standard deviation of 5.4 minutes

Also given that X is normal

the probability that randomly selected individual would spent between 30 and 40 minutes on the treadmill.

= P(30

round off to two decimals tog et

the probability that randomly selected individual would spent between 30 and 40 minutes on the treadmill is 0.31

Hence option d is right

A cake with a regular hexagonal top is sliced along each of its 9 diagonals what percent of the resulting 24 pieces are triangle
jeyben [28]
 <span>i guess it means that its a cake with a top shaped like a hexagon. if you were to use paper and cut out a hexagon then fold it, you would find out that it has 9 diagonals(meaning that you are able to fold it equally into 9 pieces). when it is unfolded, you will see 24 pieces and you will have to figure out which of the 24 pieces are triangles and which are not. after that, you calculate the percentage of triangles. 

after you are finished with the paper, you apply the information to the cake. 
i'm not sure if this is right, but you can try it out.</span>
