Answer:
Question 1
since triangles are similar
angle B = angle D
8x + 16 = 120
x = 13
Question 2
Ttiangles are similar
therefore, sides are in ratio
AB ÷ XY = BC ÷ YZ = AC ÷ XZ
substituting all values we get
BC = 22
BC = 22AC = 16
Can you be a little more specific please
Answer:
x-intercept = (-9,0)
y-intercept = (0,27)
Step-by-step explanation:
So first we will convert 9x - 3y = -81 into slope intercept form (y=mx+b).
Subtract 9x on both sides to get -3y = -9x -81. Next divide -3 on both sides to get y = 3x + 27.
Since b is the y-intercept, in y=mx+b and 27 is in the position of b, we can already tell that 27 is the y-intercept. So we will write it as (0,27) because coordinates are supposed to be written as (x,y).
Now in order to find the x-intercept, we will have to plug in 0 for y, in the original equation, so we can solve for x.
So we have: 9x -3(0) = -81
Since 3 × 0 = 0, we now have 9x - 0 = -81. So next we add 0 on both sides to get 9x = -81, and then we divide by 9 to get x = -9. So we will write this as (-9,0).
Hope this helps you :)
<em>Question:</em>
The measures of two complementary angles have a ratio of 3 : 2. What is the measure of the larger angle?
—————
<em>Solution:</em>
Call those two angles x and y, where x is the larger one.
If they are complementary, then their sum equals 90°:
x + y = 90° (i)
Also, the ratio between x and y is 3 : 2, so
x 3
—— = ——
y 2
Product of the extremes = product of the means:
2x = 3y
2x – 3y = 0 (ii)
Now, just solve this system of equations:
x + y = 90° (i)
2x – 3y = 0 (ii)
Solve it with elimination. Since you want to know the value of the larger angle, which is x, then eliminate the variable y by doing the following:
Multiply the equation (i) by 3,
3x + 3y = 270° (iii)
2x – 3y = 0 (ii)
then add both equations, so you cancel out the variable y:
3x + 2x + 3y – 3y = 270° + 0
3x + 2x = 270°
5x = 270°
270°
x = ———
5
x = 54° <——— this is the measure of the larger angle.
I hope this helps. =)
