Triangles MOP and MNQ are similar. Find x.

Mathematics
1 answer:
konstantin123 [22]3 years ago
4 0

Corresponding sides in the triangles MOP and MNQ are

MO and MN,

OP and NQ,

PM and QM.

Ratios of the corresponding sides for similar triangles should be the same.

MQ/MP =MN/MO

MQ/(MQ+QP) = MN/(MN+NO)

5/(5+x) = 6/(6+18/5)

5*(6+18/5)=6(5+x)

30+18 = 30 +6x

18=6x

x=3 =QP

Use the net to determine the total surface area. The net of a prism with width 10 inches, length 5 inches, and height 7 inches i
leva [86]
We are asked to solve for the surface area of the described figure in the problem. We can conclude that the given figure is a rectangular prism since it was being mentioned in the problem that the height is laid flat. Therefore, the formula for the surface area is SA = PH + 2B where "P" stands for the perimeter of the rectangle and "B" stands for the area of the rectangle while "H" is for the height.
Solving for P, we have it:
P = width + length + width + length
P = 10 + 5 + 10 + 5
P = 30 inches
Solving for B, we have it:
B = length * width 
B = 10 * 5
B = 50 inches squared
Solving for the surface area, we have it:
SA = PH + 2B
SA = 30*7 + (2*50)
SA = 310 inches squared

The answer is 310 in2.

Which expressions are equivalent to Negative 9 (two-thirds x + 1)? Check all that apply.
Sav [38]

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

<u><em /></u>-9(\frac{2}{3}x) + 9(1)\\  \\-6x + 9

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

<u>Before we begin, remember the following rules:</u>

<u>1- Distribution property:</u>

<u />a(b+c) = ab+ac

<u>2- Simplification of fractions:</u>

<u />\frac{xy}{yz}=\frac{x}{z}

<u>3- Signs in multiplication:</u>

+ve * +ve = +ve

-ve * -ve = +ve

+ve * -ve = -ve

<u>Now, for the given problem, we have:</u>

<u></u>9 (\frac{2}{3}x + 1)

<u>Starting with the distributive property:</u>

<u />-9 (\frac{2}{3}x +1) =  -9(\frac{2}{3}x) - (-9)(1) = -9(\frac{2}{3}x) + 9(1)

..................>This corresponds to option 1

<u>Now, we simplify the output from the above step:</u>

<u />-9(\frac{2}{3}x) + 9 = \frac{-9*2}{3}x + 9 = -6x+9

................> This corresponds to option 5

Hope this helps :)

Andreas93 [3]

Circumference  =   2pi  * r

So

3pi   =  2pi  r               divide  away pi

3  =  2  r

(3/2)  =  r    =   1.5 m

Area  =  pi  ( r^2)   =   pi  (1.5)^2   =   2.25 pi   m^2   ≈  7.07  m^2
