Took me a minute to think.

Form ratios.

x, the small triangle, forms a ratio with 6, the big triangle.

The part of the side that is equal(with the dash) that is part of the small triangle is equal to 6-x, the big triangle.

Yes, you can cross-multiply here!

\frac{6}{x}  =  \frac{8}{6-x}

<em>Now,</em><em> </em>cross multiply.
P.S. Use distributive property.

36-6x = 8x

Add 6x on both sides.

36=14x

Divide by 14 on both sides.

x = \frac{36}{14} = \frac{18}{7}

Answer:

  • w = 8
  • x = 8√2
  • y = 8√2
  • z = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

A 45-45-90 right triangle is isosceles. That means both legs are the same length, and its hypotenuse is √2 times the leg length. You can figure these facts using trigonometry or the Pythagorean theorem, or you can rely on your memory of them.

w = 8 . . . . . . . . . . . same as the leg length shown

x = y = 8√2 . . . . . hypotenuse of smaller triangle; both legs are the same

z = (8√2)√2 = 16 . . . . hypotenuse of larger triangle

What feature do plants have that provide structure and form?
Nostrana [21]
It should be a.), all plant cells have a cell wall made of cellulose, which acts as exoskeleton and makes them so stable. However on a bigger level this plant cells can also form cellulose fibers, so that c.) is not completely false :)

I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!! PLZ HELP ASAP!!!
Fed [463]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the distance using the distance formula

d = √ (x₂ - x₁ )² + (y₂ - y₁ )²

with (x₁, y₁ ) = E(- 2, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = F(4, - 6)

EF = \sqrt{(4+2)^2+(-6-2)^2}

    = \sqrt{6^2+(-8)^2}

    = \sqrt{36+64}

    = \sqrt{100} = 10 → C
