USING PYTHAGORAS THEORAM,
x²+3²= 5²
x²+9= 25
x²= 25-9 = 16
x= √16
x= 4
OPTION D
PLEASE HELP SOON Find the length of x.
2 answers:
<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,
Second triangle,
So, using the cosine identity, we have:
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!

4. To solve this problem, we divide the two expressions step by step:
Here we have inverted the second term since division is just multiplying the inverse of the term.
In this step we factor out the quadratic equation.
Then, we cancel out the like term which is x-1.
We then solve for the final combined expression:
For the restrictions, we just need to prevent the denominators of the two original terms to reach zero since this would make the expression undefined:
Therefore, x should not be equal to 1, -5, or -4.
Comparing these to the choices, we can tell the correct answer.

5. To get the ratio of the volume of the candle to its surface area, we simply divide the two terms with the volume on the numerator and the surface area on the denominator:
We can simplify this expression by factoring out the denominator and cancelling like terms.
We then rationalize the denominator:
![\frac{rh(3r-3 \sqrt{ r^{2} + h^{2} })}{(3r)^{2}-(3 \sqrt{ r^{2} + h^{2} })^{2}}}=\frac{3 r^{2}h -3rh \sqrt{ r^{2} + h^{2} }}{9r^{2} -9 (r^{2} + h^{2} )}=\frac{3rh(r -\sqrt{ r^{2} + h^{2} })}{9[r^{2} -(r^{2} + h^{2} )]}=\frac{rh(r -\sqrt{ r^{2} + h^{2} })}{3[r^{2} -(r^{2} + h^{2} )]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7Brh%283r-3%20%5Csqrt%7B%20r%5E%7B2%7D%20%2B%20h%5E%7B2%7D%20%7D%29%7D%7B%283r%29%5E%7B2%7D-%283%20%5Csqrt%7B%20r%5E%7B2%7D%20%2B%20h%5E%7B2%7D%20%7D%29%5E%7B2%7D%7D%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B3%20r%5E%7B2%7Dh%20-3rh%20%5Csqrt%7B%20r%5E%7B2%7D%20%2B%20h%5E%7B2%7D%20%7D%7D%7B9r%5E%7B2%7D%20-9%20%28r%5E%7B2%7D%20%2B%20h%5E%7B2%7D%20%29%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B3rh%28r%20-%5Csqrt%7B%20r%5E%7B2%7D%20%2B%20h%5E%7B2%7D%20%7D%29%7D%7B9%5Br%5E%7B2%7D%20-%28r%5E%7B2%7D%20%2B%20h%5E%7B2%7D%20%29%5D%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7Brh%28r%20-%5Csqrt%7B%20r%5E%7B2%7D%20%2B%20h%5E%7B2%7D%20%7D%29%7D%7B3%5Br%5E%7B2%7D%20-%28r%5E%7B2%7D%20%2B%20h%5E%7B2%7D%20%29%5D%7D)
Since the height is equal to the length of the radius, we can replace h with r and further simplify the expression:
