Given:
Figure of a parallelogram.
To find:
The values of x and y.
Solution:
If two parallel lines intersected by a transversal line, then the alternate interior angles are congruent.
(Alternate interior angles)
And,
(Alternate interior angles)
The value of x is 6 and the value of y is 42.
Therefore, the correct option is C.
Let's say that the shorter piece is x and the longer piece is 5x (because it's 5 times as long). x+5x=72 and 6x=72. Dividing both sides by 6, we get that x=12, and 72-12=the length of the other piece (since there are only 2 pieces)=60
I think the answer would be 2.05 because 6.15/3 is 2.05
Answer:
k = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the equation is y = kx and x equals 3 while y equals 15, in order to solve this equation we are going to have to substitute the variables with their answers:
x = 3
y = 15
15 = 3k
Now we divide 3 from both 3x and 15 to segregate the variable x:
15/3 = 3k/3
5 = k
Now to check our work we are going to substitute 5 for the variable k, 3 for the variable x and 15 for the variable y.
y = kx
15= (5)(3)
15 = 15
Tada, I hope this helps you!
