Answer:

Option 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the figure below, the segment is parallel to one side of the triangle.

Given: BC║DE

In triangle ABC and ADE,

\angle BAC\cong \angle DAE               (Reflexive property)

\angle ABC\cong \angle ADE                (Corresponding angles)

By AA property of similarity,

\triangle ABC\sim \triangle ADE

Corresponding parts of similar triangle are proportional.

\frac{DE}{AB}=\frac{AD}{AB}

\frac{12}{y}=\frac{15}{15+30}

\frac{12}{y}=\frac{15}{45}

\frac{12}{y}=\frac{1}{3}

The ratio of 12 to y is 1:3. Therefore, the correct option is 2.

Answer:

Option B. 1 : 3

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two triangles shown in the picture attached ΔABC and ΔCD.

In these triangles sides AB and DE are parallel and BC is transverse line so ∠ABC = ∠EDC (corresponding angles)

Similarly AC is transverse to parallel lines AB and DE, so ∠BAC = ∠DEC (corresponding angles)

∠ACB is common in both the triangles.

Therefore ΔABC and ΔDEC are similar.

We know in similar triangles corresponding sides are in the same ratio.

\frac{AB}{ED}=\frac{AC}{EC}

\frac{y}{12}=\frac{30+15}{15}=\frac{45}{15}=3:1

Therefore ratio of y and 12 is equal to 3 : 1

Or ratio of 12 to y is 1 : 3

Option B is the answer.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

okay, so here are a few methods you can use.

___

1) +

x + 7 = 10 so because this is addition we use the reverse, subtraction. So

x - 7 = 10 - 7 and that equals to 3.

2) -

x - 2 = 10 so because this is subtraction we do the reverse, addition.

x + 2 = 10 + 2 and that equals to 12.

3) x

x times 3 = 21 because this is multiplying we divide.

x/3 = 21/3 and that would be 7.

4) /

x/2 = 10 same as above, reverse is multiplying.

x times 2 = 10 times 2 and thats 20.

A balloon is released from a height of 10 feet. The balloon climbs an additional 70% of its previous height as each minute passe
Ainat [17]
The initial height of the balloon is 10 feet which then increases by 70% to (10 ×1.7) = 17 feet, then to (17 × 1.7) =28.9 feet, and so fourth if the rate of increase is kept constant. Therefore, forming a geometric sequence such that to get any term in the sequence we use the formula ar∧(n-1), where a is the first term, r is the common ratio, and n is the term in the sequence. In this case a is 10 and r= 1.7 , to get the height in the fourth minute it means n =5 (for the first term there is 0 minutes, such that for 0 minutes n= 1)
Thus, 10 × 1.7 ∧ 4 = 83.521 feet.
Therefore, the answer is 83.521 feet
