I need help with this question about similar triangles

Mathematics
1 answer:
Colt1911 [192]4 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

Juliet has a choice between receiving a monthly salary of $1750 from a company or a base salary of $1600 and a 3% commission on
Westkost [7]

For an amount of sales of $5,000, the two salary choice will be equal

Let the amount of sales be $x

The 3% she will receive will be;

\frac{3}{100}\times x\text{ = 0.03x}

We add this to the base salary and equate to the former monthy salary

We have this as;

\begin{gathered} 1750\text{ =1600 + 0.03x} \\ 1750-1600\text{ = 0.03x} \\ 150\text{ = 0.03x} \\ x\text{ = }\frac{150}{0.03} \\ x\text{ = \$5000} \end{gathered}

find the slope of the line containing the points (-1,6) and (3,5) put final.answer in slope-intercept form
Ugo [173]

Given the points (-1,6) and (3,5).

The formula to find the slope is

m=\frac{y_2-y_1_{}}{x_2-x_1}

Take

x_1=-1,y_1=6,x_2=3,y_2=5

Plug the values into the formula and find the slope.

\begin{gathered} m=\frac{5-6}{3-(-1)} \\ =\frac{-1}{4} \end{gathered}

The slope-intercept form is y = mx+b.

Plug the value of m.

y=-\frac{1}{4}x+b

ThusConsider the point (-1,6). Substitute -1 for x and for y into the equation.

\begin{gathered} 6=-\frac{1}{4}(-1)+b \\ =\frac{1}{4}+b \\ b=6-\frac{1}{4} \\ =\frac{23}{4} \end{gathered}

Thus, the equation of the line in slope intercept form is

y=-\frac{1}{4}x+\frac{23}{4}
