Mathematics

Answer:

\huge\boxed{x=28\ ft}

Step-by-step explanation:

If two rectangles are similar, then corresponding sides are in proportion.

Therefore we have the equation:

\dfrac{x}{42}=\dfrac{36}{54}

cross multiply

54x=(42)(36)\\\\54x=1512

divide both sides by 54

\dfrac{54x}{54}=\dfrac{15212}{54}\\\\x=28

5/6 multiplied by 1/5<br> Show you work please
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

The answer is 5/30

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is 5/30 because when multiplying a fraction by a fraction you have to multiply the numerator by the numerator and the denominator by the denominator so if you multiply 5 by 1 you get 5 and when you multiply 6 by 5 you get 30 so the answer is 5/30

If z is inversely proportional to r, and z= 32 when r=1.5, find r when z=8.
lions [1.4K]
Inversely proportional: z = k/r
k = 32 * 1.5 = 48
Plug that into equation
8 = 48/r
Multiply both sides by r
8r = 48
Divide by 8
r = 6

What is the measure of x
OleMash [197]

Answer:

42

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles on a line add up to 180 so

180 - 92 = 88

Thats angle y

Now the angles in a triangle add up to 180 so

50+88+x = 180

138 + x = 180

x = 42
