What is the value of x?

Mathematics
1 answer:
lorasvet [3.4K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: 12

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use what is called geometric mean to solve this.

The hypotenuse of this triangle is split into two sections. One section corresponds to/equal to the altitude which is our "X", which corresponds to/equal to the second section.

You find "X" by using geometric mean and the proportion:

16/X=X/9

Then cross multiply to get 16 x 9= 144

then 144=x²

Solve for X.

X=12

A weather balloon is descending from the atmosphere. Its altitude changes by
OlgaM077 [116]

The change in altitude after 135 seconds was a decrease of 810 meters, that is, -810 meters.

Given that a weather balloon is descending from the atmosphere, and its altitude changes by -6 meters every second, to determine what is the change in altitude after 135 seconds the following calculation must be performed:

  • Amount of time x change per second = total change
  • 135 x (-6) = X
  • -810 = X

Thus, the change in altitude after 135 seconds was a decrease of 810 meters, that is, -810 meters.

SOMEONE HELP! I know the answer I just need to show the work.
gayaneshka [121]

okay so

117° + angle a = 180° (supplementary angle)

angle a = 180 - 117

= 63°

then angle a + angle b + 81° = 180° ( angle sum property)

so... 63° + angle b + 81° = 180

144 + angle b = 180°

angle b = 180 - 144

= 36°

hope this helps.
