Answer:
x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a vertical line has equation of the form
x = c
where c is the value of the x- coordinates the line passes through.
The line passes through (7, - 3) with x- coordinate 7 , thus
x = 7 ← equation of vertical line
Area of a square = length²
A = x²
16 = x²; x = 4
dA/dx = 2x cm²/s
dx/dt = 6 cm/s
Using chain rule:
dA/dt = dA/dx * dx/dt
dA/dt = 2x * 6
dA/dt = 12x
At x = 4,
dA/dt = 12(4) = 48 cm²/s
Answer:
x = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
In similarity triangles angles are congruent.
∠D = ∠A
x² - 8x = 48
x² - 8x - 48 = 0
x² + 4x - 12x - 48 = 0
x(x + 4) - 12(x + 4) = 0
(x +4)(x - 12) = 0
x - 12 = 0 {Ignore x + 4 = 0, as measurements won't have negative values}
x = 12
