Explain why the triangles are similar. Then find the missing length, x. 5 m 8 m 4 m 10 m X 6 m Choose the reason that the triang

les are similar A. Both triangles contain right angles and a corresponding angle of equal measure. Thus, two angles of the large triangle are equal in measure to two angles of the small triangle B. All right triangles are similar. C. Both triangles are right and scalene. OD The Pythagorean theorem states that a + b = c2. Thus, the corresponding sides are proportional. Find the missing length 2 X= m​

Answer:

A. Both triangles contain right angles and a corresponding angle of equal measure. Thus, two angles of the large triangle are equal in measure to two angles of the small triangle

x = 3 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure given shows two right angles triangles having corresponding angles that are congruent and of the same measure.

If we find the ratios of their given corresponding side lengths, their ratios would be the same.

Thus: ratio of the side of the smaller ∆ to the larger ∆ = 4:8 = 5:10 = 4/8 = 5/10 = ½

½ is the scale factor. Therefore, both triangles are similar.

To find x, multiply the corresponding side length of the other triangle by the scale factor.

x corresponds to side length that is 6 m in the other triangle.

Therefore,

x = 6*½ = 3 m

Write a quadratic function whose zeros are -3 and -4
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

  f(x) = (x -(-3))(x -(-4))

Step-by-step explanation:

The function can be written as the product of binomial terms whose values are zero at the given zeros.

  (x -(-3)) is one such term

  (x -(-4)) is another such term

The product of these is the desired quadratic function. In the form easiest to write, it is ...

  f(x) = (x -(-3))(x -(-4))

This can be "simplified" to ...

  f(x) = (x +3)(x +4) . . . . simplifying the signs

  f(x) = x^2 +7x +12 . . . . multiplying it out

Multiply (x+4)(x-3).What is the product?
il63 [147K]
Since you have to distribute both numbers, you'll end up with x^2-3x+4x-12 then simplify and it is x^2+x-12
