Answer:

Similar triangles states the length of the  corresponding sides are in proportion.

In a given similar triangles:

Labelled the diagram:

Triangle BAC and triangle DAC are similar.

then;

Corresponding sides:

\frac{AB}{AD} = \frac{BC}{DC}

AB = x units , BC = 5 units, AD = 15 units and DC = BD-BC = 8-5 = 3 units

\frac{x}{15} = \frac{5}{3}

By cross multiply we get;

3x = 15 \cdot 5

Simplify:

3x = 75

Divide both sides by 3 we get;

\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{75}{3}

Simplify:

x = 25 units

Therefore, the value of x is 25 units.

Find the volume of the lunch box shown here.
Papessa [141]
Check the picture below.

so the lunchbox is really a semi-circle with a radius of 3, sitting on top of a square of 6x6, with a lenght of 10.

the volume of the lunchbox then will be the area of the semi-circle and square times the length.

\bf \left[ \stackrel{\textit{semi-circle's area}}{\frac{\pi 3^2}{2}}+\stackrel{\textit{square's area}}{(6\cdot 6)} \right]\stackrel{length}{10}\implies \left(  \frac{9\pi }{2}+36\right)(10)
