Answer:

a. $\frac{x + 3}{21}=\frac{x + 1}{15}$

b. x = 4 (see steps below)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the two polygons are similar, the sides are proportional to each other. Using a proportion, you can solve for 'x' using cross-multiplication and division:

$\frac{smaller}{larger}=\frac{x + 3}{21}=\frac{x + 1}{15}$

Cross-multiply: 15(x + 3) = 21(x + 1)

Distribute: 15x + 45 = 21x + 21

Subtract '15x' from both sides: 15x + 45 - 15x = 21x + 21 - 15x or 45 = 6x + 21

Subtract '21' from both sides: 45 - 21 = 6x + 21 - 21 or 24 = 6x

Divide by 6 on both sides: 24/6 = 6x/6

Solve for x: x = 4

Dmitry [639]

Depth of Hank descends = The point he reached - the point where he worked initially

= 57 - 10

= 47 ft

Hence, Hank descends 47 ft.

the probability of a radar station detecting an enemy plane is 62%. if 50 stations are in use what is the probability of exactly

podryga [215]

This is binomial probability with n=50 and p=0.62.

We want binom(50,0.62,35).

One way to calculate this is to use a calculator with statistical functions.

My TI-83 Plus turned out the result 0.061.
