A) x / y = 3 / 5
A) 5x = 3y
A) 5x - 3y = 0
B) y - x = 6
B) 3y -3x = 18
Adding A) and B)
2x = 18
x = 9
y = 15

Please help! (Geometry)
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

x=5

From the dashed lines on the two sides of this triangle, we can see that these two sides are congruent, or equal, to each other.

In geometry, if a triangle has two congruent sides, then we can call it a <em>isosceles triangle</em>.

In an isosceles triangle, the corners  opposite the congruent  sides  are also congruent, meaning, that the angle measures of this triangle are: 88, 9x+1, and 9x+1.

We also know that angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees.

So, we have: 88+(9x+1)+(9x+1) = 180

Simplifying: 18x + 2 = 92

Solving: 18x = 90, so x=5

Hope this helps!

A triangle has a base of 7 1/8 feet and height 7 1/5 ft. what is the area as a mixed number
sleet_krkn [62]

The answer is 25 13/20 square feet.

In order to complete this operation, it is first best to change your mixed numbers into improper fractions.

7 1/8 = 57/8

7 1/5 = 36/5

Now that we have these, we can put them into the triangle formula.

A = 1/2bh

A = (1/2)(57/8)(36/5)

A = 1026/40

You can then simplify this fraction by dividing the top and bottom by a factor of 2.

A = 513/20

Then, because we know 20 goes into 500, 25 times, we can pull that out and be left with a remainder of 13/20.

A = 25 13/20

Find all solutions for a triangle with a = 14, b= 12, and B = 90°.
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

No solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

a = 14; b= 12; B = 90^\circ

Required

Find all possible solutions

If B = 90^\circ, then the triangle is right-angled and the hypotenuse is at b

Given that a = 14; b= 12;

This implies that a > b

In a right-angled triangle, the hypotenuse (side b) is the longest.

Since this is not true for the given sides, then the triangle has no solution.
