Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Two triangles are said to be similar if their corresponding angles are congruent and the corresponding sides are in proportion. In other words, similar triangles are the same shape, but not necessarily the same size.

If a triangle ABC is similar to another triangle DEF, then the following equation is true:

\frac{AB}{DE} =\frac{BC}{EF} = \frac{CA}{FD}

Therefore:

\frac{AB}{DE} =\frac{BC}{EF}\\\\\frac{x+2}{6} =\frac{2}{3}

Solving for x:

x=2

The segment AB is:

AB=x+2\\\\Where\\\\x=2\\\\Hence\\\\AB=2+2=4

krek1111 [17]

hookes law gives the equation F=kx where F is the elastic force and k is the constant and x or small e is extension if we draw a graph you'll see that the graph increases by the same ratio every single time hence giving a straight line show that they are F and x are propotional to a certain limit

Find an equation of the parabola with focus (2, −3) and directrix y = 1.
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct option is option (C).

The required equation of the parabola is

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula:

The distance of a point (x₁,y₁) from a line ax+by+c=0 is

.

The distance between two points (x₁,y₁) and (x₂,y₂) is

Given that, the focus of the parabola is (2,3) and directrix y= - 1.

We know that, a parabola is the locus of points that equidistant from the directrix and the focus.

Let any point on the parabola be  P(x,y)  .

The distance of P from the directrix is

           

=y+1

The distance of the point P from the focus (2,3) is

According to the problem,

 

The required equation of the parabola is
