Answer:

8cm

Step-by-step explanation:

x is similar to the side 12cm.

We know the second triangle is rotated counter-clockwise from the first because similar triangles have the same angle measurements.

Since the angle in the first triangle between 9cm and 15cm is 53°, it can't be similar to the angle between x and the hypotenuse in the second triangle.

Find the scale factor:

Triangle 1/Triangle 2

Divide two similar sides.

6/9 = 2/3

Multiply the scale factor by the similar side to find x.

x = 12*(2/3)

x = 8

X^2+y^2=169, 3x+2y=39 please answer using substitution and each step

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

x=13,y=0

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a system of equations

${x}^{2} + {y}^{2} = 169 - - eqn \: 1 \\ 3x + 2y = 39 - - eqn \: 2$

For equation 1,square all terms to reduce it

√x²+√y²=169

x+y=13

Make x the subject as required by the question to use substitution method

x=13-y

Plug x=13-y into eqn 2

3(13-y)+2y=39

39-3y+2y=39

39-y=39

y=39-39=0

Plug y=0 into equation 1

x+0=13

x=0

Answer:

Its value is 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use order of operations, PEMDAS.

The parentheses are worked out first:-

(5 - 3) X 2 + 6

= 2 X 2 + 6

Now the multiplication:-

= 4 + 6

= 10 (answer).
