<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The length of "x" is equal to 4 units.

<h2>Why?</h2>

To solve the problem and find the length of x, we need to remember the alternate angles rule. The alternate angles rule establish that alternate angles will be also equal.

So, for the triangles, we have:

The angle((α)) formed between the base (2.5) and the hypotenuse (5)  of the big triangle is equal to the angle(α) formed between the base (2) and the hypotenuse (x) of the small triangle. It also means that the triangles are similar since they have congruent angles(α) and proportional sides (SAS).

We are given:

First triangle,

AdjacentSide=2.5\\Hypotenuse=5\\

Second triangle,

AdjacentSide=2\\Hypotenuse=x\\

So, using the cosine identity, we have:

Cos(\alpha)=\frac{AdjacentSide}{Hypotenuse}

Cos(\alpha)=\frac{2.5}{5}=\frac{2}{x}

Cos(\alpha)=\frac{2.5}{5}=\frac{2}{x}\\\\\frac{2.5}{5}=\frac{2}{x}\\\\x=2*\frac{5}{2.5}=4

Therefore, we have that the hypotenuse of the second triangle (x) is equal to 4 units.

Hence, the length of "x" is equal to 4 units.

Have a nice day!

Answer:

The length of x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure we can see that two triangles are similar. (AAA similarity criteria)

Therefore the ratio of similar corresponding sides are equal.

Answer:

The length of x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure we can see that two triangles are similar. All angles are equal(AAA similarity criteria)

Therefore the ratio of similar corresponding sides are equal.

To find the value of x

From the figure we can write,

x/5 = 2/2.5

x = (5 * 2)/2.5

x = 10/2.5 = 4

Therefore the length of x = 4

From the figure we can write,

x/5 = 2/2.5

x = (5 * 2)/2.5

x = 10/2.5 = 4

Therefore the length of x = 4

Determine if the set of ordered pairs is a relation or a function.
Inga [223]

to be a function, each input can have only one output.  For these points, each x has only one y, so it it a function.  A relation, just describes x to y, so it is both

A triangle is 180 so 180-110=70 and 70 divided by 2 is 35 so the other two angles are 35 degrees
