Answer:

17) x = 58.1 units

18) x = 17 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The concept of similar triangles will be applied.

It is evident that the AAA congruence property is responsible for the similarity of the two triangles in the 2 cases. The theorem is

- Triangles are similar if the measure of all three interior angles in one triangle are the same as the corresponding angles in the other.

So, the corresponding sides from the two triangles can be written as a ratio of one another

17)

The most obvious tell here is the largest angle in the two triangles, the sides directly opposite this angle in the two triangles can be written in a ratio such that

(95.2/13.6) = 7

indicating that the bigger triangle is exactly 7 times the smaller one.

So,

(95.2/13.6) = (53.2/7.6) = (x/8.3) = 7

x = 7 × 8.3 = 58.1

18)

The obvious tell here is the smallest common angle for the two triangles, the two other corresponding sides can then be written in a ratio, matching the bigger side in the two triangles to each other.

(39.5/7.9) = (37.5/7.5) = (x/3.4)

(x/3.4) = 5 (Indicating thay the bigger triangle is 5 times bigger than the smaller one.

x = 3.4 × 5 = 17 units.

Hope this Helps!!!

Find the standard form of the equation of the parabola with a focus at (0, 8) and a directrix at y = -8

Gekata [30.6K]

First, let $(x,y)$ be a point in our parabola. Since we know that the focus of our parabola is the point (0,8), we are going to use the distance formula to find the distance between the two points:
$\sqrt{(x-0)^{2}+(y-8)^{2}}$

Next, we are going to find the distance between the directrix and the point in our parabola. Remember that the distance between a point (x,y) of a parabola and its directrix, $y=c$ , is: $|y-c|$ . Since our directrix is y=-8, the distance to our point will be:
$|y-(-8)|$
$|y+8|$

Now, we are going to equate those two distances, and square them to get rid of the square root and the absolute value:
$\sqrt{(x-0)^{2}+(y-8)^{2}}=|y+8|$
$(\sqrt{(x-0)^{2}+(y-8)^{2}})^{2}=|y+8|^{2}$
$(x-0)^{2}+(y-8)^{2}=y+8$

Finally, we can expand and solve for $y$ :
$x^2+y^2-16y+64=y^2+16y+64$
$x^{2}-16y=16y$
$32y=x^{2}$
$y= \frac{1}{32} x^2$

We can conclude that t<span>he standard form of the equation of the parabola with a focus at (0, 8) and a directrix at y = -8 is </span> $y= \frac{1}{32} x^{2}$

Points (−3, 5) and (3, 5) on the coordinate grid below show the positions of two players on a tennis court:

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

4. Player 2's position is Player 1's position reflected across the y-axis; only the signs of the x-coordinates of Player 1 and Player 2 are different.

Step-by-step explanation:

Player 1's position is (-3, 5).

It means that it is 3 units left from the origin and 5 units above the origin.

Player 2's position is (3, 5).

It means that it is 3 units right from the origin and 5 units above the origin.

Hence, the two points are on the same horizontal line bisected by the y-axis.

So, Player 2's position is Player 1's position reflected across the y-axis; only the signs of the x-coordinates of Player 1 and Player 2 are different.
