Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Angle Bisector of a triangle and proportions to solve this problem.  Put the smaller triangle over the larger triangle.

AB       x+4

------ = ----------

AC         2x+1


8       x+4

------ = ----------

12         2x+1

Using cross products

8(2x+1) = 12(x+4)

Distribute

16x+8 = 12x+48

Subtract 12x from each side

16x-12x +8 = 12x-12x+48

4x +8 = 48

Subtract 8 from each side

4x+8-8 = 48-8

4x = 40

Divide by 4

4x/4 =40/4

x = 10

What is the approximate area that is shaded red?
Mashcka [7]

To find the area that is shaded red, you find the area of the rectangle and subtract it by the area of the triangle.


Area of a rectangle:

A = l × w             [ l = 11 in ; w = 6in ]    Plug these numbers into the equation

A = 11 · 6

A = 66 in²


Area of a triangle:

A=\frac{1}{2}bh     [ b = 4 in ; h = 6 in ] Plug these #s into the equation

A = \frac{1}{2}(4)(6)

A=\frac{24}{2}

A = 12 in²


Area of rectangle - Area of triangle = Area of the shaded region

66 in² - 12 in ² = 54 in²


Your answer is B

Need help with this question! Will attach pic! A satellite is to be put into an elliptical orbit around a moon as shown below.Th
Darina [25.2K]
An equation for the ellipse ( standard form ):
x²/a²  +  y²/b² = 1
Here is:  a - semi-major axis and b - semi-minor axis.
Radius of the moon is 1,000 km and the distance from the surface of the moon to the satellite varies from 953 km to 466 km.
a = 1,000 + 953 = 1,953 km
b = 1,000 + 466 = 1,466 km
Answer:
The equation is  x² / 1,953²  + y² / 1,466² = 1
or: x²/3,814,209  +   y²/2,149,156  = 1
