Answer: X = 27
Step-by-step explanation: If we observe very closely, we have two similar triangles in the diagram. The first one is ABC and the other triangle is EDC. Also take note that angle ACB in the first triangle is equal in measurement to angle ECD (45 degrees) in the other triangle, (Opposite angles).
Hence in triangle ECD, we have identified two angles so far which are angle 2x + 10 and angle 45. Same applies to triangle ABC, we already have two angles which are, 3x - 10 and 45.
However angle D in the second triangle is equal in measurement to angle B in the first triangle
(Alternate angles).
Hence we have a third angle in triangle ABC which is
Angle B = 2x + 10.
Therefore 3x - 10 + (2x + 10) + 45 = 180
(Sum of angles in a triangle)
3x - 10 + 2x + 10 + 45 = 180
By collecting like terms we now have
3x + 2x = 180 + 10 - 10 - 45
5x = 135
Divide both sides by 5,
x = 27
Answer:
t_a = 7 s
t_w = 5 s
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
- The average speed in air v_a = 16 m/s
- The average speed in water v_w = 3 m/s
- The total distance D = 127 m
- The total time T = 12 s
Find:
How long did the stone fall in air and how long did it fall in the water?
Solution:
- Lets time taken by stone to drop through air as t_a = t_a.
- The time taken in water would be t_w = (12 - t_a)
- The total distance covered can be calculated as:
D = v_a*t_a+ v_w*(12 - t_a)
127 = 16*t_a + 3*(12 - t_a)
Simplify and solve for t:
91 = 16*t_a - 3t_a
13*t_a = 91
t_a = 7 s
t_w = 5 s
They definitely can be positive they can be negative and they can have an absolute value but I would choose they both can be positive and negative
