<span>x : y is equal to 12 : 8. These can be reduced or cancelled down to 3 : 2 in the same proportions. Therefore, when y is 12, you have to multiply the smallest value y can be by 6, and must do the same to the smallest x value to retain the proportions. x = 18 when y = 12.</span>
Answer: 115°
Step-by-step explanation:
We should note that the sum of the angles that are in a triangle is equal to 180°, therefore we will add the angles given and equate them to 180°. This will be:
(8x - 5) + (2x) + (3x - 10) = 180
8x - 5 + 2x + 3x - 10 = 180
Collect like terms
8x + 2x + 3x = 180 + 5 + 10
13x = 195
x = 195/13
x = 15
The angles are:
8x - 5 = 8(15) - 5 = 120 - 5 = 115°
2x = 2(15) = 30°
3x - 10 = 3(15) - 10 = 45 - 10 = 35°
Therefore, the largest angle is 115°
Okay I think there has been a transcription issue here because it appears to me there are two answers. However I can spot where some brackets might be missing, bear with me on that.
A direct variation, a phrase I haven't heard before, sounds a lot like a direct proportion, something I am familiar with. A direct proportion satisfies two criteria:
The gradient of the function is constant s the independent variable (x) varies
The graph passes through the origin. That is to say when x = 0, y = 0.
Looking at these graphs, two can immediately be ruled out. Clearly A and D pass through the origin, and the gradient is constant because they are linear functions, so they are direct variations.
This leaves B and C. The graph of 1/x does not have a constant gradient, so any stretch of this graph (to y = k/x for some constant k) will similarly not be direct variation. Indeed there is a special name for this function, inverse proportion/variation. It appears both B and C are inverse proportion, however if I interpret B as y = (2/5)x instead, it is actually linear.
This leaves C as the odd one out.
I hope this helps you :)
The answer is III only, or D.
We can start to solve this by knowing what the HL theorem means. The HL theorem, like its name implies, shows says that if a hypotenuse and leg of a triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and leg of a different triangle, then the triangles are congruent. The only triangle that we see a hypotenuse congruent in is in figure III. In figure II, those congruent sides are both legs while in figure I we just see 2 congruent angles. Now in figure III, we can also see that two legs are congruent because of the reflexive property. That means that the answer is III, or D.
