Finding Side Lengths

Mathematics
1 answer:
zheka24 [161]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

  • x = 2.5
  • y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

As the two figure are the image and pre-image of a dilation.

Considering the left sided triangle is original and right sided triangle ( smaller one) is the image.

As one of the sides of the left triangle (original figure) is 4 in. And the corresponding length of the side on the right triangle (image of the figure) is 2 in.

It means the image of the side (2 in) is obtained when the side (4 in) of the original object is dilated by a scale factor of 1/2. In other words, the side of the image (2 in) is obtained multiplying the side (4 in) of original figure by 1/2. i.e. 4/2 = 2 in

Lets determine the missing side of the right side triangle by the same rule.

As the original object has one of the sides is 5 in and the corresponding side of the image has x in. As the original figure is dilated by a scale factor of 1/2. so the missing side of x will be: x = 5/2 = 2.5

So, the value of x will be 2.5

Similarly, the original object has one of the sides with length (y + 1 in). As the As the original figure is dilated by a scale factor of 1/2. As the corresponding length of the side of the image triangle is 3 in.

so

y + 1 = 2(3)         ∵ 3 in (image side) is multiplied by 2

y + 1 = 6

y = 6 - 1

y = 5

So, the value of y = 5

Therefore,

  • x = 2.5
  • y = 5

Angle 1 and angle 2 form a linear pair.if m angle =5x+9 and m angle 2=3x+11,find the measures of both angels.
lbvjy [14]

Answer: ∠1 = 109°    ∠2 = 71°

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

If the two angles form a linear pair, then their sum is 180°

  ∠1      +     ∠2     = 180°

(5x + 9) + (3x + 11) = 180

              8x + 20  = 180

              8x          = 160

                x          = 20

∠1 = 5x + 9

    = 5(20) + 9

    = 100   + 9

    = 109

∠2 = 3x + 11

     = 3(20) + 11

     =    60  + 11

     =         71

  <u> CHECK:</u>

∠1   + ∠2 = 180°

109° + 71° = 180°

     180°   = 180°  \checkmark
