On a right triangle, to find one missing side you can use this equation
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
a and b are the sides next to the right angle, and c is the hypotenuse (side not connected to right angle).
You first need to find the length of the dotted line before finding x. This is because to be able to use the above formula, you have to know the length of two out of three of the sides.
To solve the length of the dotted line, note that it also makes a triangle with the 5 unit line and the 5 √5 unit line. You can plug these numbers into the formula.
(5)^2+b^2=(5 √5)^2
25+b^2=125
b^2=100
b=10
Now that you know the length of the dotted line is 10 units, you can now solve for x
(20)^2+(10)^2=x^2
400+100=x^2
500=x^2
x= √500, which equals 22.361
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
Triangles with the same shape but different size are proportional. Proportional means that their side lengths form equal ratios. To solve for x, set up a proportion.
The ratios we will create will be 
where each long and short are corresponding sides from each triangle.
So write:
To solve, cross multiply numerator with denominator.
4(2.25) = 3(x)
9 = 3x
3 =x
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Required
Determine his after tax salary in terms of p
To do this, we simply make t the subject in
Divide both sides by 1.25
Substitute p/1.25 for t in
Answer:
q/9
Step-by-step explanation:
The quotient is an number or variable that is the product of division. My answer may be reversed or wrong, but it should be close to the correct one.
