The triangles are similar. What is the value of x?

Mathematics
1 answer:
madreJ [45]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

x = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two ways to do this. You could use the Pythagorean Theorem because you are given that the triangles are right angled triangles.

Method One

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a = 5

b = 12

c = ?

c^2 = 5^2 + 12^2

c^2 = 25 + 144

c^2 = 169

sqrt(c^2) = sqrt(169)

c = 13

x = 13

Method Two

You can do this problem with similar triangles.

48/12 = 52/x                    Cross multiply

48x = 12 * 52                   Combine the right  

48x = 624                        Divide by 48

48x/48 = 624/48              Do the division

x = 13

The sum of two numbers is 90 and the greater number exceeds twice the smaller by 15. Find the smaller number.
ASHA 777 [7]

Let smaller number is x

Greater number =2x+15

According to the question

Greater number + smaller number =90

2x+15+x=90

3x=75

x=25

And 2x+15=65

Hence, numbers are 25 and 65

A spherical balloon is being deflated at a rate of 5 cubic centimeters per second. At what rate is the radius of the balloon cha
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

0.0048cm/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the spherical balloon is expressed as;

V = 4/3 \pi r^3\\

dV/dt = dV/dr * dr/dt

Given

dV/dt = 5cm³/s

dV/dr = 4πr²

Since V = 972picm³

972π = 4/3πr³

972 = 4/3r³

4r³ = 972 * 3

r³ = (972 *3)/4

r³ = 729

r = ∛729

r = 9cm

dV/dr = 4π(9)²

dV/dr = 324π

dV/dt = dV/dr * dr/dt

5 = 324πdr/dt

dr/dt = 5/324π

dr/dt = 5/324(3.14)

dr/dt = 5/1017.36

dr/dt = 0.0048cm/s

What is the equation of the line that passes through the points (-4,8) and (2,-1)
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

y - 8 = (3/2)(x + 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

As we move from (-4, 8) to (2, -1), x increases by 6 (this is the run) and y decreases by 9 (this is the "rise").  Thus, the slope is

m = rise / run = 9/6, or 3/2.

Using the point-slope form of the equation of a straight line, we get:

y - 8 = (3/2)(x + 4)
