Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔLMN and ΔPMQ are similar. Therefore thw sides are in proportion:

$\dfrac{LM}{PM}=\dfrac{NM}{QM}$

We have:

LM = 3 + 9 = 12

PM = 9

NM = x + 12

QM = 12

Substitute:

$\dfrac{12}{9}=\dfrac{x+12}{12}$ cross multiply

$9(x+12)=(12)(12)$

$9(x+12)=144$ divide both sides by 9

$\dfrac{9(x+12)}{9}=\dfrac{144}{9}$

$x+12=16$ subtract 12 from both sides

$x=4$

Write the slope-intercept form of the line with a slope of 2 and a y-intercept of -4. Include your work in your final answer. Ty

xenn [34]

Answer:

The formula for slope intercept is y=mx+b and m is the slope and B is our y intercept. so if we just input our values:

y=2x-4

you also you could write the slope as 2/1 since the slope is rise over run (rise/run)

Suppose a triangle has sides a, b, and c, and let theta be the angle opposite the side length a. If cos theta < a, what must

Roman55 [17]

Cosine rule: a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc cos A
-> a^2 > b^2 + c^2 - 2bca
-> abc > (b^2 + c^2 - a^2) /2

How do I solve these equations

Sever21 [200]

You need to know the properties of each function.
Tan is opposite (y) over adjacent (x). Sin>0 means that sin is positive, therefore, it is located on either quadrant 1 or 2. Tan=4/3 so it is located in quadrant 1.
The side of the triangle must be Adjacent=3 opposite=4 and hypotenuse=5
Now, you are asked to find the half angle of Cos which is
$\sqrt{\frac{1+cos}{2} }$
By following the formula, cos=3/5 then:
$\sqrt{ \frac{1- \frac{3}{5} }{2} }$ Multiply everything (inside the square $\sqrt{ \frac{5+3}{10} }$ root) by 5
$\frac{2 \sqrt{2} }{ \sqrt{10} }$
$\frac{2 \sqrt{20} }{10}$ Then just simplify
$\frac{ \sqrt{20} }{5}$ The answer is Square root of 20 over 5
