Answer:
The x-intercept of CD is -19/5
Step-by-step explanation:
If the coordinates of the first point is (-3, 2) and the coordinates of the point B are (7, 6) then we need first to find the equation of the line CD:
We know that the general equation of the line is:
y-y0 = m(x-x0) where (x0, y0) represents a point that belongs to the line and m, is the slope which can be calculated by using the following formula:
m = (x1 - x0) / (y1 - y0)
In this case:
(x1, y1) = (7, 6)
(x0, y0) = (-3, 2)
Then:
m = (7 - (-3))/(6-2) = 10/4 = 5/2.
Then, the equation of the line is:
y-y0 = m(x-x0)
y - 2 = 5/2 (x -(-3))
y = 5/2(x+3) + 2
To find the x intercept we make y=0.
Then y = 5/2(x+3) + 2 = 0
Then:
x = -4/5 - 3 = -19/5
Answer: 288.74
Step-by-step explanation:
y = -1/2x + 5 should be your equation because it is 5 ft above sea level and its eroding, or going down, 1 ft per 20 years. So every year, the sand dune erodes 1/20 ft more.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
Option B Yes by AAA
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
If the two triangles are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal and its corresponding angles are congruent
so

substitute the values and verify

simplify
-------> is true
therefore
The triangles are similar by AAA------> the three angles are congruent
The measure of angle x will be 88 degrees. Then the correct option is C.
The complete question is attached below.
<h3>What is law of cosine?</h3>
Let there is a triangle ABC such that |AB| = a units, |AC| = b units, and |BC| = c units and the internal angle A is of θ degrees, then we have:
2ab cos θ = a² + b² – c²
The triangle is shown below.
Then the value of the variable x will be
2 · 7 · 10 · cos x = 7² + 10² – 12²
140 · cos x = 49 + 100 – 144
cos x = (149 – 144) / 140
x = 87.95 ≈ 88°
Then the correct option is C.
