Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle is equilateral then sides are congruent.

Equate any 2 sides and solve for x

13x + 5 = 8x + 35 ( subtract 8x from both sides )

5x + 5 = 35 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

5x = 30 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 6

JK = (13 × 6) + 5 = 78 + 5 = 83

KL = (17 × 6) - 19 = 102 - 19 = 83

JL = (8 × 6) + 35 = 48 + 35 = 83

ΔJKL is equilateral with side = 83

My Notes A street light is mounted at the top of a 15-ft-tall pole. A man 6 ft tall walks away from the pole with a speed of 4 f

Sergio [31]

Answer:

6.667 ft/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Height of street light = 15ft

Height of man = 6ft

Speed away from pole = 4ft/s

Let x represents the distance between the man and the pole, and Let y represents the distance between the tip of the man's shadow to the pole.

This forms a similar triangle (see attachment below).

From similar triangles, we have

(y - x)/6 = y/15 ----- Solve equation

15(y - x) = 6 * y

15y - 15x = 6y ---- Collect Like Terms

15y - 6y = 15x

9y = 15x --- divide through by 9

y = 15x/9

y = 5x/3 ---- differentiate with respect to time, t

dy/dt = 5/3 dx/dt

dx/dt represents rate of change of distance per time = 4ft/s

while dy/dt represents rate of movement of his shadow tips

dy/dt = 5/3 * 4

dy/dt = 20/3 = 6.667 ft/s

A triangle with sides 11m , 13m and 18m is a right triangle. A True B False

Julli [10]

$\bold{\huge{\pink{\underline{ Solution}}}}$

$\bold{\underline{ Given :-}}$

A triangle with sides 11m, 13m and 18m

$\bold{\underline{ To \: Find :-}}$

We have to check it whether it is right angled triangle or not?

$\bold{\underline{ Let's \: Begin :-}}$

$\sf{\red{ In \:right \:angled\ : triangle, }}$

According to the Pythagoras theorem, The sum of the squares of perpendicular height and the square of the base of the triangle is equal to the square of hypotenuse that is sum of the squares of two small sides equal to the square of longest side of the triangle.

We imply it in the given triangle ,

$\sf{\red{ ( Perpendicular)² + (Base)² = (Hypotenuse)²}}$
