17 = 5k-2
+2 +2 The first step is to add 2 to both sides
-------------
19 = 5k Then you divide both sides by 5

The answer is 3.8 = k

How to find the volume of a triangle pyramid

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

To find the volume of a triangle pyramid, you would use the formula V = 1/3AH, where A = area of the triangle base, and H = height of the pyramid or the distance from the pyramid's base to the apex.

Hope this helps!!

Theorem: The segment joining the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and half its length. A two-c

natali 33 [55]

Answer: By the slope formula.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: ABC is a triangle (shown below),

In which A≡(6,8), B≡(2,2) and C≡(8,4)

And, D and E are the mid points of the line segments AB and BC respectively.

Prove: DE║AC and DE = AC/2

Proof:

Since, And, D and E are the mid points of the line segments AB and BC respectively.

Therefore, By mid point theorem,

coordinate of D are $(\frac{2+6}{2} , \frac{2+8}{2} ) = (\frac{8}{2} , \frac{10}{2} )= (4,5)$

Coordinate of E are $(\frac{2+8}{2} , \frac{2+4}{2} ) = (\frac{10}{2} , \frac{6}{2} )= (5,3)$

By the distance formula,

$DE=\sqrt{(5-4)^2+(3-5)^2}=\sqrt{5}$

$AC=\sqrt{(8-6)^2+(4-8)^2}=2\sqrt{5}$

By the slope formula,

Slope of AC = $\frac{4-8}{8-6} = \frac{-4}{2} = -2$

Slope of DE = $\frac{3-5}{5-4} = \frac{-2}{1} = -2$

Statement Reason

1. The coordinate of D are (4,5) and 1. By the midpoint formula

the coordinate of E are (5,3)

2. The length of DE = √5 2. By the Distance formula

The length AC = 2√5 ⇒ Segment DE

is half the length of segment AC

3. The slope of DE = -2 and the 3. By the slope formula

slope of AC = -2

4. DE║AC 4. Slopes of parallel lines are equal

otez555 [7]

Answer:

a)6x = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2>Finding the value</h2>

the ratio can be solved by cross multiplication :

6 : 2

8 : x

6*x = 8*2

6x = 16

answer is : a) 6x = 16
