Answer:
These two triangles are <em>similar triangles. </em>This means that their side lengths are proportional to each other.
Thus, making line segment EC equal to "x", and BC equal to "y" we can write:
8/y = 28/(10+y)
The next step is to get rid of the fractions, which can be done by cross multiplying.
So we have:
8(10+y) = 28(y)
After distribution and some simplification, you should get the value of y.
80+8y = 28y
80 = 20y
80/20 = 20y/20
4 = y
y = 4
Knowing that y = BC, and y = 4, it is clear that BC = 4.
Since BC = 4, one can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for segment EC.
Pythagorean Theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where a and b are the side lengths of a right triangle, and c is the hypotenuse (in other words the longest side)
In our case, a and b are 8 and 4 (the order doesn't really matter here).
So we have: 8^2 + 4^2 = c^2
64 + 16 = c^2
80 = c^2
c = sqrt 80
c = 4 sqrt 5
And we arrive at the answer- EC = 4 sqrt 5, making B the correct choice.
Hope this helps!
The area of the blanket - 24 ft²
length being longer than the width means that blanket is a rectangle
width of the blanket = x
length of blanket = x +2
area = length * width
area = x * (x+2)
= x² + 2x
since area = 24
x² + 2x = 24
x² + 2x - 24 = 0
we have a quadratic equation and we need to now solve for x
x² + 6x - 4x - 24 = 0
x (x + 6) - 4(x + 6) = 0
(x-4) (x+6) = 0
x-4 = 0 or x + 6 = 0
x = 4 or x = -6
x could be either 4 or -6. since dimensions cannot have negative values,
x ≠ -6
therefore x = 4
width = 4 ft
length = 6 ft
Answer: 768
Step-by-step explanation:
3, 6 ,12 ,24, 48, 96, 192, 384, 768
12 x 2 = 48
48 x 2 = 96
96 x 2 = 192
192 x 2 = 384
384 x 2 = <u>768</u>
Answer:
Option A. 5
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
First term (a) = –3
Common ratio (r) = 6
Sum of series (Sₙ) = –4665
Number of term (n) =?
The number of terms in the series can be obtained as follow:
Sₙ = a[rⁿ – 1] / r – 1
–4665 = –3[6ⁿ – 1] / 6 – 1
–4665 = –3[6ⁿ – 1] / 5
Cross multiply
–4665 × 5 = –3[6ⁿ – 1]
–23325 = –3[6ⁿ – 1]
Divide both side by –3
–23325 / –3 = 6ⁿ – 1
7775 = 6ⁿ – 1
Collect like terms
7775 + 1 = 6ⁿ
7776 = 6ⁿ
Express 7776 in index form with 6 as the base
6⁵ = 6ⁿ
n = 5
Thus, the number of terms in the geometric series is 5.
No, it means that she will pay 296 plus 11% of 296.
solve: 296 + 32.56= 328.56 altogether of her bill.
