The following triangles are similar. Find x.

Mathematics
1 answer:

8 0

Let's use the line on the right side. In the smaller triangle, the length is 4. The same side on the bigger triangle is 12. The ratio of the smaller triangle to the bigger triangle is:

\frac{4}{12} \rightarrow 4:12

12 \div 4 = 3

To find a side length for the bigger triangle, all you need to do is multiply by 3. The same side on the smaller triangle is 5. Multiply by 3

5 \times 3 = 15

That means x = 15

The ratio between the square of a number and it's cube is 1:3 what is the number ​
Dimas [21]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Call that number “x”

The square of that number is x^2

Also as the cube is x^3

The ratio between these 2 values is 1:3, this means x^2 / x^3 = 1 / 3

<==> 1 / x = 1 / 3 (eliminate “x^2” for numerator and denominator of the fraction x^2 / x^3 )

<==> x = 1 * 3 / 1 = 3

So, that number is 3 ! This math problem seems simple ;)
