Answer:

  • a) Plots are similar
  • b) x= 5577 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Refer to attached</em>

<h3>Question</h3>
  • a) Are the plots of land similar?  
  • b) Find to the exact value of x and rounded to the nearest tenth?
<h3>Solution</h3>

The small triangle have missing angle of 180° - (52° + 58°) = 70°

This is indicating both triangles have same 3 angle measures.

Since all angles are same, the triangles are similar.

<u>Corresponding sides, against corresponding angles are:</u>

  • 6180 and 8240
  • x and 7436

<u>As per property of similarity, the ratio of corresponding sides is same</u>

  • 6180/8240 = x/7436
  • x = 6180*7436/8240
  • x = 5577 feet

Write and solve an equation to find the value of x and a missing angle in the triangle below.
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

x = 27°, ∠JLK = 55°

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram in the question above,

The exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two opposite side

3x+13 = 39+(2x+1)

3x+13 = 40+2x

collect like terms and solve for x

3x-2x = 40-13

x = 27°.

∠JKL = 2x+1

Substitute the value of x

∠JKL = 2(27)+1

∠JKL = 54+1

∠JKL = 55°

Given

The temperature on Tuesday is 1^{\circ}C

Temperature drops to -2^{\circ}C on Wednesday

Net drop in temperature 1-(-2)=3^{\circ}C

The temperature drops twice from Wednesday to Thursday

\Delta T=2\times 3=6^{\circ}C

Temperature on Thursday

\Rightarrow -2-6=-8^{\circ}C
