Two triangles have the same heights. One triangle has a base length that is twice the base length of the other triangle. Are the

base lengths and the areas of the two triangles proportional?

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for area of a triangle is A = (1/2)bh,

For the first triangle we can leave it in general terms, so it's area is

A = (1/2)bh, depending on what b and h are, but it doesn't matter here...

The second triangle has base that is twice the other triangles base.  Bases being multiples of each other is the definition of being proportional so the bases are proportional, an the area of the second triangle is

A = (1/2)(2b)h,   which simplifies to

   A = bh

Comparing the 2 areas, you can see that one has a multiplier of (1/2), so their areas are proportional

-50 Points-<br> If segment AC and segment BC are tangent to circle O, find the value of x.
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

x = 170 deg

Step-by-step explanation:

A tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the radius of the circle at the point of tangency. That means that in quadrilateral AOBC, angles A and B are right angles and measure 90 deg.

The sum of the measures of the angles of an n-sided polygon is

(n - 2)180 deg

In this case, n = 4, so

(4 - 2)180 deg = 360 deg

m<A + m<O + m<B + m<C = 360

90 + x + 90 + 10 = 360

x + 190 = 360

x = 170

Answer: 170 deg

Rewrite using a single positive exponent.<br> (5-3)*
sleet_krkn [62]

To write this expression as a positive exponent we use this rule of exponents: xa=1x−a. 5−3=15−−3=153. Use this rule for exponents: xa=1x−a. 5−3=15−−3=153=1125.
