5.

3x - 1 = x + 9

Subtract x on both sides

2x - 1 = 9

Add one on both sides.

2x = 10

Divide by 2 to get the x.

x = 5

Hope this helps!

Similar triangles may or may not have equal side lengths

Triangles ABC and DEF are similar by SSS theorem

<h3>How to determine the similarity statement</h3>

The coordinates of the two triangles are:

A (0,0), B (4,0), C (0,2), D (0,0), E (2,0), and F (0,1)

Calculate the lengths of both triangles using the following distance formula

$d = \sqrt{(x_2 -x_1)^2 + (y_2 -y_1)^2}$

For triangle ABC, we have:

$AB = \sqrt{(0 -4)^2 + (0 -0)^2} = 4$

$BC = \sqrt{(4 -0)^2 + (0 -2)^2} = 2\sqrt 5$

$CA = \sqrt{(0 -0)^2 + (0 -2)^2} = 2$

For triangle DEF, we have:

$DE = \sqrt{(0 -2)^2 + (0 -0)^2} = 2$

$EF = \sqrt{(2 -0)^2 + (0 -1)^2} = \sqrt 5$

$FD = \sqrt{(0 -0)^2 + (1 -0)^2} = 1$

Divide corresponding sides of the triangles to calculate the scale factor k

$k = \frac{AB}{DE} = \frac{BC}{EF} = \frac{CA}{FD}$

This gives

$k = \frac{4}{2} = \frac{2\sqrt 5}{\sqrt 5} = \frac{2}{1}$

Evaluate the quotients

$k = 2 = 2 = 2$

Since the quotients are equal, then the triangles are similar

Hence, triangles ABC and DEF are similar by SSS theorem

I NEED HELP PLS I WILL MARK BRAINLIEST

ANEK [815]

Answer:

$\approx 11.2\:\mathrm{in}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The swing of the tip of pendulum is creating an arc. The question is actually asking for the length of this arc. The length of an arc is given by $2r\pi\cdot \frac{\theta}{360}$ , where $r$ is the radius of the circle and $\theta$ is the angle of the arc.

In this problem, we're given:

$\theta = 40^{\circ},\\r=16$

Substituting given values, we get:

$2\cdot 16\cdot \pi \cdot \frac{40}{360}=32\pi\cdot \frac{1}{9}\approx \boxed{11.2\:\mathrm{in}}$

7. A vase 25 cm tall is positioned on a bench near a wall as shown. The shape of the vase follows the curve y = (x - 10)^2, wher

Kitty [74]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the base of the vase will be where the vase touches the x-axis, that is 10 cm, therefore, the base is 10 cm from the wall

b) 25 = x^2 -20x +100, we solve for x to find the closest distance since as we move up the vase the distance to the wall gets closer(assume the y-axis is the wall), then

x^2 -20x +75 = 0 (x-15) * (x-5) = 0

x = 15 and x = 5

we reject x = 15

the shortest distance from the top of the vase to the wall is 5 cm

c) this is a left shift of the equation y = (x-10)^2

from b) we know that the left shift is 5 cm

10 - 5 = 5 cm from the wall to the base

d) y = (x-10+5)^2

y = (x-5)^2
