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

A wooden cube of mahogany has a side length of 8 cm and a mass of 400 g. What is the density of the cube? Enter your answer in t
Y_Kistochka [10]
Density is a property of a material which describes the mass of a material per unit volume. It can be calculated by dividing the mass of the object with its volume. We calculate as follows:

Density = mass / volume = 400 / (8^3) = <span>0.78125 g/cm^3</span>

Write an equation for the line in slope-intercept form, Passing through the point (1,-6) and (-1,0)
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

y=3x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+b is slope intercept form

to find the slope(m) you need to plug your numbers into the equation y(2)-y(1)/x(2)-x(1)

which means subtract the Y's together and the X's together and put the quotient of the Y's on top. Note that you have to choose a set of number to be the first group and the other set as the second group

so (0-6)/(-1-1) = -6/-2 = 3

3 will be your slope. plug that and a set of your numbers into the slope intercept equation

0=3(-1)+b

0=-3+b

3=b

y=3x+3
