Here is a rectangle which has a width of x cm. x cm

miskamm [114]

Answer:

278.25 cm2

Step-by-step explanation:

If the width of the rectangle is x (cm), as the length is 8cm longer, so that the length of the rectangle is: x + 8 (cm).

In the attached image, we can see the length of each side. Total length of the sides are 90 cm.

=> (x + x + 8) + x + 8 + (x+8) + (x + x + 8) + x + 8 + (x +8) = 90

=> 8x + 48 = 90

=> 8x = 90 - 48 = 42

=> x =42/8 = 5.25 (cm)

=> The width of the rectangle is 5.25cm

=> The length of the rectangle is: 5.25 + 8 = 13.25 cm

=> The area of one rectangle is: Length x Width = 5.25 x 13.25 = 69.5625 cm2

As the 8-sided shape is made from 4 rectangles, so that:

Area of 8 sided shape = 4 x Area of the rectangle = 4 x 69.5625 = 278.25 cm2

In Exercises 10 and 11, points B and D are points of tangency. Find the value(s) of x.<br>

Lemur [1.5K]

In both cases,

$AB^2=AD^2$

(as a consequence of the interesecting secant-tangent theorem)

So we have

10.

$(4x+7)^2=(6x-3)^2$

$16x^2+56x+49=36x^2-36x+9$

$20x^2-92x-40=0$

$5x^2-23x-10=0$

$(5x+2)(x-5)=0\implies\boxed{x=5}$

(omit the negative solution because that would make at least one of AB or AD have negative length)

11.

$(4x^2-18x-10)^2=(x^2+x+4)^2$

$16x^4-144x^3+244x^2+360x+100=x^4+2x^3+9x^2+8x+16$

$15x^4-146x^3+235x^2+352x+84=0$

$(x-7)(3x+2)(5x^2-17x-6)=0\implies\boxed{x=-\dfrac23\text{ or }x=7}$

(again, omit the solutions that would give a negative length for either AB or AD)

17.253 to the nearest tenth

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

17.3

Step-by-step explanation:

tens ones. tenths hundredths thousandths

1 7 . 2 5 3

We are rounding to the nearest tenth

We are rounding the 2 so we look at the 5. If it is 5 or above we round up.

Since it is, we will round the 2 to a 3

Line RS intersects triangle BCD at two points and is parallel to segment DC. Triangle B C D is cut by line R S. Line R S goes th

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

The correct options are;

1) ΔBCD is similar to ΔBSR

2) BR/RD = BS/SC

3) (BR)(SC) = (RD)(BS)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Given that RS is parallel to DC, we have;

∠BDC = ∠BRS (Angles on the same side of transversal)

Similarly;

∠BCD = ∠BSR (Angles on the same side of transversal)

∠CBD = ∠CBD = (Reflexive property)

Therefore;

ΔBCD ~ ΔBSR Angle, Angle Angle (AAA) rule of congruency

2) Whereby ΔBCD ~ ΔBSR, we therefore have;

BC/BS = BD/BR → (BS + SC)/BS = (BR + RD)/BR = 1 + SC/BS = RD/BR + 1

1 + SC/BS = 1 + RD/BR = SC/BS = 1 + BR/RD - 1

SC/BS = RD/BR

Inverting both sides

BR/RD = BS/SC

3) From BR/RD = BS/SC the above we have by cross multiplication;

BR/RD = BS/SC gives;

BR × SC = RD × BR → (BR)(SC) = (RD)(BR).
