Help, I don't remember​

Answer:

  x = 144

Step-by-step explanation:

What you need to remember about this geometry is that all of the triangles are similar. As with any similar triangles, that means ratios of corresponding sides are proportional. Here, we can write the ratios of the long leg to the short leg and set them equal to find x.

  x/60 = 60/25

Multiply by 60 to find x:

  x = (60·60)/25

  x = 144

_____

<em>Comment on this geometry</em>

You may have noticed that the above equation can be written in the form ...

  60 = √(25x)

That is, the altitude from the hypotenuse (60) is equal to the geometric mean of the lengths into which it divides the hypotenuse (25 and x).

This same sort of "geometric mean" relation holds for other parts of this geometry, as well. The short leg of the largest triangle (the hypotenuse of the one with legs 25 and 60) is the geometric mean of the short hypotenuse segment (25) and the total hypotenuse (25+x).

And, the long leg of the large triangle (the hypotenuse of the one with legs 60 and x) is the geometric mean of the long hypotenuse segment (x) and the total hypotenuse (25+x).

While it can be a shortcut in some problems to remember these geometric mean relationships, you can always come up with what you need by simply remembering that the triangles are all similar.

8<br> p varies directly as the square root of q.<br> p = 8 when q = 25.<br> Find p when q = 100.
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

p=k√q

8=k√25

8=k5

k=8/5

p when q=100

p=8/5*√100

p=8/5*10

p=16

CAN SOMEONE PLZ HELP ME
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

The expression for the total cost of the visit to dentist is T = 50 + 100n .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

The price of a visit to the dentist is $50.

If the dentist fills any cavities, an additional charge of $100 per cavity gets added to the bill.

If the dentist n cavities .

Let us assume that the total cost of the visit to dentist be T.

Than the expression becomes

T = 50 + 100n

Therefore the expression for the total cost of the visit to dentist is T = 50 + 100n .

LenKa [72]

Answer:

numerator degree of freedom = 3

Denominator degree of freedom = 47

Step-by-step explanation:

The numerator degree of freedom is given by :

p - 1 ; where p = number of predictors ;

p = number of independent variables + 1

Number of independent variables = 3

p = 3 + 1 = 4

Numerator degree of freedom = p - 1 = 4 - 1 = 3

The denominator degree of freedom = n - p ; where n = number of observations

Number of observations, n = 51

Denominator degree of freedom = n - p = 51 - 4 = 47
