Answer:

x = 9/2 or x= 4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

you factor out the equation:

5x-15=3x-6

+15 +15

5x=3x+9

-3x -3x

2x=9

x=9/2 or 4.5

Consider △RST and △RYX.

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

B. StartFraction R Y Over R S EndFraction = StartFraction R X Over R T EndFraction = StartFraction X Y Over T S EndFraction

i.e $\frac{RY}{RS}$ = $\frac{RX}{RT}$ = $\frac{XY}{TS}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Two or more shape or figures are similar when their sides and angles can be compared appropriately.

In the given figure, ΔRXY is within ΔRST. Since the two triangles are similar, then their length of sides can be compared in the form of required ratios.

So that by comparison,

$\frac{RY}{RS}$ = $\frac{RX}{RT}$ = $\frac{XY}{TS}$

Therefore, the correct option to the question is B.

In the triangle shown we can find the angle θ as follows calculator

Xelga [282]

Given a right triangle with hypothenus of measure 34, the side opposite the angle θ of measure 30, and the side adjacent the angle theta of measure 16.

$\sin\theta= \frac{opposite}{hypothenuse} = \frac{30}{34} = \frac{15}{17} \\ \\ \Rightarrow \theta=\sin^{-1}\left( \frac{15}{17} \right) \\ \\ \\ \cos\theta= \frac{adjacent}{hypothenuse} = \frac{16}{34} = \frac{8}{17} \\ \\ \Rightarrow \theta=\cos^{-1}\left( \frac{8}{17} \right) \\ \\ \\ \tan\theta= \frac{opposite}{adjacent} = \frac{30}{16} = \frac{15}{8} \\ \\ \Rightarrow \theta=\cos^{-1}\left( \frac{15}{8} \right)$
