since triangles are similar
4/x = 7x/7
=》 4/x = x
=》x^2 = 4
=》 x = 2
for right triangles a^2 = b^2+c^2
DF^2 = 7^2+2^2 = 53
=》 DF = 7.28
perimeter of DEF = 7 +2+7.28 = 16.28
Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
(x - 1)2 = 4
how to get this solved is very simple.
first step to apply is the BODMAS RULE
B..................... bracket
O..................... of
D.....................Division
M.................... multiplication
A..................... addition
S.................... Subtraction
so (x - 1)2 = 4
we have,
2x - 2 = 4 ( by opening the bracket)
collect the like terms
2x = 4+2
divide both sides by 2
2x/2 = 6/2
x = 3
to check if your answer is correct put the value of x = 3 into the question and see if the right hand side will equal to the left handside
(x - 1)2 = 4
(3-1)2=4
2(2)=4
4=4.............................. proved
Sin θ = opposite leg/hypotenuse
csc θ = hypotenuse /opposite leg =8/7
cot <span>θ = adjacent leg/opposite leg
hypotenuse =8
opposite leg =7
We need to find adjacent leg.
(Opposite leg)² +(adjacent leg)² = hypotenuse²
7² + </span>(adjacent leg)² =8²
(adjacent leg)² = 64 - 49
(adjacent leg)² = 15
adjacent leg=+/-√15
<span>WE need only positive root,
so </span>adjacent leg =√15
cot θ = √15/7 or 0.5533<span>
</span>
We know that there are 3 feet in one yard. So, to find out how many yards is equivalent to 16 feet, we must divide this number by 3.
16/3 or 5 1/3
Therefore, 16 feet is equal to 16/3 or 5 1/3 yards.
Hope this helps!
