I'm going to work from left to right here, starting with the base of the largest triangle and ending with x. Pay close attention to the sides I am describing since there are no distinctive values for each vertex. The base of the largest triangle is also the hypotenuse of the one next to it. We will look at that missing side as the base of the large one to solve it. Since these are all right triangles, every single side/hypotenuse we solve for will use Pythagorean's theorem. The first missing side is found by 52^2-48^2=c^2. Simplifying we get 2704 - 2304 = c^2. c^2 = 400 so c = 20. That first missing side is 20. Now we move to the next triangle in line. we have the hypotenuse of that triangle as 20 and the base as 12. The formula to find the missing side is 20^2-12^2=c^2 and c^2=256. c = 16. 16 is the length of that whole side, but that whole side is actually the bases for those 2 small triangles. Before we can solve for x we have to find out what the base of the larger of the 2 triangles is and subtract that from 16 to find the base of the triangle with x in it. Got that? The hypotenuse is 13 and the height is 5, so the formula to find the base of that triangle is 13^2-5^2=c^2 and 169-25=c^2 so 144=c^2 and c = 12. That means that the base of the triangle with x in it is 16 - 12 which is 4. Now we have the base as 4 of that triangle and the height as 5, so we solve for x: 4^2+5^2=x^2 and 25+16=x^2 so x^2=41 and finally we have that x=\sqrt{41}. That is the simplest radical form, so that's your answer!

25 is 45% of what number
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer: 55.56

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the unknown number be k

(45 x k) / 100 = 25

45k/100 = 25

multiply both sides by 100

45k = 25 x 100

45k = 2500

divide both sides by 45

k = 2500/45

k = 55.56

The sum of two numbers is 35.
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

Larger number(x)=20

Step-by-step explanation:

They're saying that the larger number 3 times is EQUAL(the same) to 4 times the smaller number.

The smallest number=35-x.

The larger number= x.

3 times the larger number=3x

4 times the smaller number=4(35-x)

Now, input it into an equation and solve:

3x=4(35-x) Distribute by multiplying 4 with 35 and x.

3x+4x=140-4x+4x Get 140 by itself by adding 4x.

7x/7=140/7 Divide.

x=20

Since x= the larger number, x=20.

Two triangular roofs are similar. The ratio of the corresponding sides of these roofs is 2:3. If the altitude of the smaller roo
schepotkina [342]

Answer:  6.75 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the ratio of the side of the similar triangle = 2 : 3

Thus, by the property of similar triangle,

The ratio of the altitudes of the triangle = 2 : 3

Let the altitude of smaller triangle = 2 x

And, the altitude of larger triangle = 3 x

Where x is any number.

According to the question,

2 x = 4.5

x = 2.25

Therefore, the altitude of larger triangle = 3 × 2.25 = 6.75 feet
