F is between E and G, EF=2x-2, EG=6x+10, and FG=6x. Find x.

Mathematics

BartSMP [9]3 years ago

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that F is between E and G , then

EF + FG = EG , substitute values

2x - 2 + 6x = 6x + 10 , that is

8x - 2 = 6x + 10 ( subtract 6x from both sides )

2x - 2 = 10 ( add 2 to both sides )

2x = 12 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 6

A 1414​-ft ladder leans against a wall at a point 55 feet above the ground. how far is the bottom of the ladder from the​ wall?
viva [34]
Assume ladder length is 14 ft and that the top end of the ladder is 5 feet above the ground.

Find the distance the bottom of the ladder is from the base of the wall.

Picture a right triangle with hypotenuse 14 feet and that the side opposite the angle is h.  Then sin theta = h / 14, or theta = arcsin 5/14.  theta is

0.365 radian.  Then the dist. of the bot. of the lad. from the base of the wall is 

14cos theta = 14cos 0.365 rad = 13.08 feet.  This does not seem reasonable; the ladder would fall if it were already that close to the ground.

Ensure that y ou have copied this problem accurately from the original.

What is the best estimate for the length of a bike
castortr0y [4]
<span>The average length of a bike (including the length of both wheels) is about 68 inches.For finding the true answer we must follow the following convertion rule: 1 inch is equivalent to 0.02 yard, so 68 inches equal to 1.88 yards. Consequently, the value nearest 1.88 yards is 1.5 yards, so the answer is the choice A: 1.5 yards. </span>

I am simplifying radicals and I've come across one that has me a bit confused.
zhenek [66]

The sqrt of (34 m^4) is  sqrt(34) times sqrt(m^4).

The sqrt of m^4 is easy ... that's just  m^2 .

The other part is more messy.  There's not much you can do with it.

                      sqrt(34) = sqrt(17) times sqrt(2). 

That doesn't help make it any simpler.
You might as well just leave it as sqrt(34). 

Then the final, simplified form of the original expression is

                          m^2 sqrt(34)

Quadrilateral GHIJ is similar to quadrilateral KLMN. Find the measure of side NK.
Leokris [45]

Answer:
NK = 14.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following question:

We know that the two sides are similar
JI = 3, NM = 7.2

<u>The scale factor is 2.4 since....</u>

3\times2.4=7.2


Knowing the two sides are similar and if we multiply JI by 2.4, we get NM we can easily do the same for JG and NK.

JG = 6
6\times2.4=14.4
=14.4

NK = 14.4

Hope this helps.
