What is the value of x? Enter your answer in the box. x =___

Mathematics
1 answer:
Zanzabum3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram shows an equilateral triangle (because all angles are congruent). All sides in equilateral triangle are congruent, so

4x-10=5x-22=3x+2

Solve the equation

4x-10=5x-22\\ \\4x-10-4x=5x-22-4x\\ \\-10=x-22\\ \\-10+22=x-22+22\\ \\12=x

Check this value:

4x-10=4\cdot 12-10=48-10=38\ units \\ \\5x-22=5\cdot 12-22=60-22=38\ units\\ \\3x+2=3\cdot 12+2=36+2=38\ units

Thus, x=12

What is the equation of the line that is parallel to y =1/5x+4
atroni [7]

Answer:

y=(1/5)x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

y=(1/5)x+4

This is of the form

y=mx+b

which is called the slope-intercept form because

m is the slope

b is the y intercept.

In this case,

m=1/5

b=4

you can see from the chart that this matches the red line.

If two lines are parallel, they must have the same slope. So we know that the slope of the desired line is 1/5.  So, now we know that

y=(1/5)x+b

Since the line must go through the point (5,-4), we have

-4=(1/5)(5)+b

-4=1+b

b=-5

So, the desired line is

y=(1/5)x-5

when does it makes sense to use similar triangles to measure the height and length of objects in real life?
ivanzaharov [21]
When determining the height of an object like putting a high pole for a fence in ur yard. Or better yet when u cut down a tree and u wanna figure how much space u need to cur it down so u don't hit a house or someone else's property

Give the slope and the y-intercept of the line y = x – 4.
Airida [17]

Given:

The equation of a line is

y=x-4

To find:

The slope and y-intercept of the line.

Solution:

We have,

y=x-4          ...(i)

The slope intercept form of a line is

y=mx+b            ...(ii)

Where, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

On comparing (i) and (ii), we get

m=1,b=-4

Slope of the line = 1

y-intercept of the line = -4

The coordinate form of y-intercept is (0,b). So, the y-intercept of the given line is (0,-4).

Therefore, the slope of the line is 1 and the y-intercept is (0,-4).
