Mai's younger brother tells her that 10/7 is equal to square root 2. Mai knows this can't be right because 10/7 is rational and

the square root of 2 is irrational. Write an explanation that Mai could use to convince her brother that 10/7 cannot be the square root of 2.

The answer is 76 because Mai’s younger brother has been saving up for that long it just makes since

Given: ABCD trapezoid<br> BC=1.2m, AD=1.8m<br> AB=1.5m, CD=1.2m<br> AB∩CD=K<br> Find: BK and CK

stepladder [879]

Answer:

The value of BK is 3m and the value of CK is 2.4m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information: ABCD trapezoid

, BC=1.2m, AD=1.8m

, AB=1.5m, CD=1.2m

, AB∩CD=K.

Using the given information draw a figure.

Two sides of a trapezoid are parallel.

Since AB∩CD=K, therefore AB and CD are not parallel, because parallel line never intersect.

$AD\parallelBC$

$\angle KBC=\angle KAD$ (Corresponding angles)

$\angle KCB=\angle KDA$ (Corresponding angles)

By AA rule of similarity

$\triangle KBC\sim \triangle KAD$

Corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional.

$\frac{KB}{KA}=\frac{KC}{KD}=\frac{BC}{AD}$

$\frac{x}{x+1.5}=\frac{y}{y+1.2}=\frac{1.2}{1.8}$

$\frac{x}{x+1.5}=\frac{1.2}{1.8}$

$\frac{x}{x+1.5}=\frac{2}{3}$

$3x=2x+3$

$x=3$

The length of BK is 3 m.

$\frac{y}{y+1.2}=\frac{1.2}{1.8}$

$\frac{y}{y+1.2}=\frac{2}{3}$

$3y=2y+2.4$

$y=2.4$

The length of CK is 2.4 m.

How much being would you need to be on a skateboard to go on a loop D Loop on and on a ramp

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

If you know the radius of a circular track, you can use physics to calculate how fast an object needs to move in order to stay in contact with the track without falling when it reaches the top of the loop.
