Answer:

x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since these two triangles are similar, the ratio between the corresponding lengths of each triangle will be the same.

This means the ratio between one side of each triangle (e.g. AD and DC) will be the same as the ratio between a different side of each triangle (e.g. BE and BC).

So, to create an equation for the sides which contain the unknown 'x', we must first find the ratio between the two sides by using a different set of sides.

On the right side we are given 9 for AD, and 18 for DC.

9/18 = 0.5

This means that the extra length of the larger triangle from the smaller one (AD) is half the length of the smaller triangle (DC). We can use this to make an equation for x:

If AD/DC = 0.5, then BE/EC will also = 0.5

BE = x+23

EC = x+41

Therefore:

\frac{x+23}{x+41} = 0.5

Now we can solve by multiplying both sides by x+41 to eliminate the fraction:

x+23=0.5(x+41)

Now we multiply out the brackets and move the terms to different sides:

x+23=0.5x+20.5

0.5x = -2.5

x = -5

And if we substitute the -5 into the equations:

-5+23 = 18

-5 + 41 = 36

We will see that -5 does indeed give us the same ratio between the lengths:

18/36 = 0.5

Hope this helped!

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

The value of k is 8/3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, start with the base equation and input the values. Then solve for k.

y = kx

24 = k9

24/9 = k

8/3 = k

Solve for x.<br><br> x = 5°<br> x = 18°<br> x = 30°<br> x = 36°
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

x=36

Step-by-step explanation:

The 2 angles, ∠EAF and ∠FAB are on a straight line. This means they are supplementary, and add to 180 degrees.

So,

∠EAF  +∠FAB =180

We know that ∠EAF is 3x and ∠FAB is 2x, so we can substitute them in

3x+2x=180

Combine like terms

5x=180

Divide by 5 on both sides

x=36

So, x=36 degrees, or the last choice

A spear has a diameter of 14 ft which equation finds the volume of the sphere
fiasKO [112]

The volume of the sphere is 1437.33 ft³

<h3></h3><h3>What is volume of sphere?</h3>

A sphere's volume V is four-thirds of pi times the radius cubed.   A hemisphere's volume is half of the volume of the associated sphere.

The volume of a spherical.

V= 4/3 πr³

radius= 7ft

So,

V= 4/3*22/7*7*7*7

V= 30184/21

V = 1437.33  ft³

If 90 is 30% of a number , what is 200% of the number
9966 [12]

Answer:

600

Step-by-step explanation:

To find 100% we can divide by 30 (to find 1%) then times by 100 (to find 100%)

90÷30=3

3×100=300

100%=300

200%=300×2

200%=600
