Answer:

7.5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

BD = DC

Triangles ABD and ACD are congruent.

So, x = 15

Reasoning (if needed)

AC² = AD² + DC²

x² = AD² + (0.25x)²

AD² = 0.9375x²

AB² = AD² + DB²

15² = 0.9375x² + (0.25x)²

225 = x²

x = 15

BC = 2BD

= 2(0.25×15)

= 7.5

Work out the value of x.
Len [333]

Answer:

67.5 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles at the center of the figure = 360 degrees

Therefore, 3x + x + 90 degrees = 360 degrees

simplifying:

4x + 90 degrees = 360 degrees

4x = 360 - 90

4x = 270 degrees

x = 270÷ 4

x = 67.5 degrees

0.4(2x+0.3)=1/3(6x-7.2)
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

x = 2.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

0.4 (2 x + 0.3) = (6 x - 7.2)/3

Multiply both sides by 3:

3×0.4 (2 x + 0.3) = (3 (6 x - 7.2))/3

(3 (6 x - 7.2))/3 = 3/3×(6 x - 7.2) = 6 x - 7.2:

3×0.4 (2 x + 0.3) = 6 x - 7.2

3×0.4 = 1.2:

1.2 (2 x + 0.3) = 6 x - 7.2

Expand out terms of the left hand side:

2.4 x + 0.36 = 6 x - 7.2

Subtract 6 x from both sides:

(2.4 x - 6 x) + 0.36 = (6 x - 6 x) - 7.2

2.4 x - 6 x = -3.6 x:

-3.6 x + 0.36 = (6 x - 6 x) - 7.2

6 x - 6 x = 0:

0.36 - 3.6 x = -7.2

Subtract 0.36000000000000004` from both sides:

(0.36 - 0.36) - 3.6 x = -0.36 - 7.2

0.36 - 0.36 = 0:

-3.6 x = -0.36 - 7.2

-0.36 - 7.2 = -7.56:

-3.6 x = -7.56

Divide both sides of -3.6 x = -7.56 by -3.6:

(-3.6 x)/(-3.6) = (-7.56)/(-3.6)

(-3.6)/(-3.6) = 1:

x = (-7.56)/(-3.6)

(-7.56)/(-3.6) = 2.1:

Answer:  x = 2.1

Find the equation of a line that passes through the point (3,4) and has a gradient of 4.
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

The equation of a line in the slope-intercept form is:

y = 5x - 18

The slope-intercept form of the line equation

where

   m is the slope

   b is the y-intercept

In our case, we are given

   m = 5

   Point (4, 2)

now substituting m = 5 and (4, 2) in the slope-intercept form of the line equation to determine the y-intercept

y = mx + b

2 = 5(4) + b

20 + b = 2

subtract 20 from both side

20 + b - 20 = 2 - 20

b = -18

now substituting b = -18 and m = 5 in the slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = mx + b

y = 5x + (-18)

y = 5x - 18

Therefore, the equation of a line in the slope-intercept form is:

y = 5x - 18

Find the second, fifth, and ninth terms of the sequence.<br> an = -7 + (n - 1) 4
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

- 3, 9, 25

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the required terms of the sequence substitute n = 2, 5, 9 into the given rule, that is

a_{2} = - 7 + (2 - 1)4  = - 7 + (1 × 4) = - 7 + 4 = - 3

a_{5} = - 7 + (5 - 1)4 = - 7 + (4 × 4) = - 7 + 16 = 9

a_{9} = - 7 + (9 - 1)4 = - 7 + (8 × 4) = - 7 + 32 = 25
