Each polygon pair is similar. Find the missing side length

Mathematics

ohaa [14]3 years ago

I'll do problem 1 to get you started.

The vertical sides are 3 and x for the left and right figures.

The horizontal sides are 15 and 60 for the left and right figures.

The corresponding sides form fractions which are equal (due to the nature of the similar polygons)

3/x = 15/60

3*60 = x*15 ... cross multiply

180 = 15x

15x = 180

x = 180/15 .... divide both sides by 15

x = 12

----------

Another way you can see this is note how the jump from 15 to 60 is "times 4", so the jump from 3 to x must also be "times 4" to keep the same proportion

3 ---> x = 3*4 = 12

Or you could set up the proportion

60/15 = x/3

4 = x/3

x/3 = 4

x = 3*4

x = 12

-----------

<h3>Final Answer: 12</h3>

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

x = 2y - 7

x + y = 47

substitute x

2y - 7 + y = 47

3y = 54

y = 18

x = 2x18 - 7

x = 29

F the point T is between the points B and N, then which of the following is true?
valentina_108 [34]
Assuming T, B and N are all on the same line, then we can say

BT + TN = BN

which is the segment addition postulate. 

Subtract TN from both sides to get
BT + TN = BN
BT + TN - TN = BN - TN
BT = BN - TN
BN - TN = BT

Which is what choice C is saying. Therefore the answer is choice C.

Find the lengths of the segments with variable expressions.
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

By the trapezoid midsegment theorem,

2x = (x-6) + (2x-8)

2x = x - 6 + 2x - 8

2x = 3x - 14

x = 14

So we know AD = 8, EF = 14, and BC = 20

the Royal fruit company produces two types of fruit drinks. The first type is 20% pure fruit juice, and the second type is a 45%
AlexFokin [52]

We know that 20% of the first type of juice is pure fruit juice and 45% of second type of juice is pure fruit juice.

Now we have to make 30 pints of a mixture that is 35% pure.

Let x be the number of pints of first type of juice and y be the number of pints of second type of juice.

So, x+y=30 (Equation 1)

Since, 20% of x + 45% of y = 35.3% of 30

\frac{x}{5}+\frac{9y}{20}=10.5 (Equation 2)

Solving equations 1 and 2,

we get y=18 and x=12.

So, 12 pints of first type of juice and 18 pints of second type of juice are used.
