I need help with this question about similar triangles

Mathematics
1 answer:
Colt1911 [192]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

ST = 12 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Δ RAS and Δ TES are similar triangles, thus the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is, noting that SR = 21 - ST, thus

\frac{ST}{SR} = \frac{TE}{AR} substitute values

\frac{ST}{21-ST} = \frac{8}{6} ( cross- multiply )

6ST = 8(21 - ST)

6ST = 168 - 8ST ( add 8ST to both sides )

14ST = 168 ( divide both sides by 14 )

ST = 12

What two formulas are necessary to find the area of a segment of a circle? i will name brainliest!!!!!!!
NeTakaya
The necessary formulas to get the area of a circle’s segment are the area of the circle’s sector and the triangle it is bounded by. 

Hence the formula for the segment’s area is:Area of Segment = Area of sector – area of the triangle.

The formula of the area of a circle’s sector is:Area of Sector = \frac{central-angle}{2} x (radius of circle)²

While the formula for the area of a triangle is:Area of Triangle = \frac{1}{2} x base of triangle x height of triangle

at a particular school 50% of students travel by bus. if this represents 600 children how many children attend the school
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

1200 students at the school

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the total number of students at the school

50% ride the bus

600 students ride the bus

x*50% = 600

Changing to decimal form

.50x = 600

Divide each side by .5

.50x/.5 = 600/.5

x =1200

1200 students at the school
