LA=3.5; AY=7
LW=?

LW=LA+AW
AW=?

Let's analyze triangles LAY and YAW
1) Triangle LAY
Angle LAY is 90°
Suppose Angle ALY is x
The angle LYA is the complement of x, for example y:
x+y=90°→y=90°-x

2) Triangle YAW
Angle AYW is the complement of angle LAY (y), then the angle AYW must be equal to x.
Angle YAW is 90°, because the angle LAY is 90°

The triangles LAY and YAW are similars, because they have to congruent angles:
Angle LAY = 90° = Angle YAW
Angle ALY = x = Angle AYW
Then the sides of triangles LAY and YAW must be proportionals:
AW/AY=AY/LA
Replacing the known values:
AW/7=7/3.5
AW/7=2
Solving for AW. Multiplying both sides of the equation by 7:
7(AW/7)=7(2)
AW=14

Now:
LW=LA+AW
LW=3.5+14
LW=17.5

Answer: LW=17.5 units

In the circle above, FH and GJ are chords which intersect at point K. If FK = 3 mm, HK = 4 mm, and GK = 2 mm, what is the length

Svetach [21]

We have a formula for that( according to the Intersecting chords theorem)
$fk \times hk = gk \times jk$
3×4=2×jk
6=jk

Simplify the expression below. Show your Work.

lord [1]

Answer:

7y + 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of the negative sign to the left of the parentheses as being -1. Then apply the distributive property. The effect of a negative sign to the left of parentheses or a 1 to the left of parentheses is that each term inside the parentheses changes sign.

-(-7y - 24) = -1(-7y - 24) = (-1)(-7y) - (-1)(24) = 7y - (-24) = 7y + 24

You can walk 3 miles per hour, jog 5 miles per hour, or run 10 miles per hour. You go a full hour before changing pace. At the e

Answer:

b. How many ways arc there to go 12 miles?

≡ p(12) = 25

c. How many ways arc there to go 20 miles?

≡ p(20) = 131

d. How many ways arc there to go 22 miles?

≡p(22) 199

Step-by-step explanation:

a) supposed you walked for the first hour. Then you would have travelled 3 miles. if you jogged you would have covered 5miles and if you run you would have covered 10miles. now you have to decide how to run the rest miles from the n miles.

Thus, the number of ways one can cover n miles will be given by the recurrence relation

p(n) = p( n-3) + p( n-5) + p( n - 10)

now to solve the rest of the question, let us make a table which provides the number of ways for n = 1 to 22.

check the attachment for the table

b. How many ways arc there to go 12 miles?

≡ p(12) = 25

c. How many ways arc there to go 20 miles?

≡ p(20) = 131

d. How many ways arc there to go 22 miles?

≡p(22) 199
