<h3>
Answer: 17 inches</h3>
===============================
Rule: All four sides of a rhombus are the same length
So AB = BC
Use this to solve for x
AB = BC
3x+2 = x+12
3x-x = 12-2
2x = 10
x = 5
If x = 5, then
AB = 3*x+2 = 3*5+2 = 15+2 = 17
and
BC = x+12 = 5+12 = 17
Both sides are 17 as expected, so the proper x value is confirmed.
So DC is also 17 since AB = DC
Answer:
Step 1 is incorrect
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
A. $0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question half of the time your winning is 2 dollars and also the other half of the time your loss is one dollar
The expectation is that after you must have had 2 rolls you would get 2 dollars once and also you are going to lose 1 dollar once. So what you won overall would be 1 dollar.
So the correct answer would be gotten from $1/2rolls
= $0.50
Answer:
x = 16
Explanations:
Since △ACD ~ △ABE, it means that:
CD/AD = BE/AE..........(*)
CD = 3x + 8
AD = AE + ED
AD = (x - 1) + 27
AD = x + 26
BE = 20
AE = x - 1
Substituting CD, AD, BE, and AE into equation (*)
(3x+8)/(x+26) = 20/x-1
Cross multiply:
(3x+8)(x-1) = 20(x+26)
3x² - 3x + 8x - 8= 20x + 520
3x²- 15x - 528 = 0
Divide through by 3
x² - 5x - 176 = 0
Solving the quadratic equation above for the values of x
x² - 16x + 11x - 176 = 0
x(x - 16) + 11 (x - 16) = 0
(x - 16)(x + 11) = 0
If x - 16 = 0
x = 16
If x + 11 = 0
x = -11
x cannot be -11 because x = -11 will make side CD and AE to be negative, and the sides of a triangle cannot be negative.
Therefore, x = 16
