<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

A limited-edition soccer ball costs $30, and the sales tax is 6%. What is the total cost?
frez [133]

Answer:

$31.80

Step-by-step explanation:

The ball will cost 100% of its price plus 6% of its price for a total of 106%.

To use percentages as a factor and multiply, they must be divide by 100, making the multiplication factor version of 106% 1.06.

Multiply the cost of the ball by your multiplication factor:

30 x 1.06 = 31.8

Money is written to two decimal places, making your answer $31.80
