Answer:

y = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the 2 triangles are similar,

hence we can write the following relationship based on the length of each side.

3/(3+6) = x / (x+y)

3/9 = x / (x+y)

1/3 = x / (x+y)

(x+y) = 3x -----------(1)

By observing the hypotenuse of both triangles, we can see that

(x + y) = 15   -----------(2)

we can substitute this into equation (1) above to get:

15 = 3x

x = 15/3 = 5 (substitute this back into eq (2) to find y)

(x + y) = 15

(5+y) = 15

y = 15-5

y = 10

Ivenika [448]

Complete question :

designs a board game in which a card is drawn on each turn. • A blue card means move forward 4 squares. • A red card means move back 6 squares. Liam suggests adding some other cards to Sia's game Part A Liam explains that drawing a yellow card is equivalent to drawing a blue card followed by a red card. How many spaces forward or backward does a player move after drawing a yellow card? Justify your answer.

Answer:

2 squares backward

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the rule :

Blue card = 4 squares forward

Red card = 6 squares backward

Yellow card = drawing a blue followed by a red

Spaces moved after drawing a yellow card:

Yellow equals :

Blue = + 4 squares ; then

Red = - 6 squares

Net total movement :

Blue + red

+4 + (-6)

4 - 6

- 2

2 squares backward

Find the absolute value of the complex number 5 - 4i.
Damm [24]
I answered a similar question for someone else. The absolute value of a complex number is called the modulus. This represents the DISTANCE to the origin from the point on the imaginary + real plane. 
the real horizontal distance is 5 and the imaginary vertical distance is in this case 4 (from -4i) the distance is 4. So to figure out this just use the Pythagorean theorem.
5^2 + (4)^2 = c^2 
25 +16 = c^2 
c^2 = 41c = 6.4 So option D.

topjm [15]
A. $40, because you would do 1,000 × 1.04 = $1,040, and then subtract the original $1,000.
b. $81.60, because 1,000 × 1.04² = 1,081.6
c. $480.24, because 1,000 × 1.04^10 = 1,480.24.
I have used the formula for compound interest presuming you were aware of it, but I will be happy to explain what I did if you want :).
I hope this helps!
