Mathematics

Lesechka [4]3 years ago

Answer:

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure attached,

Given : ΔABC ~ ΔDEC

By the property of similarity,

"Corresponding sides of the similar triangles are proportional"

\frac{\text{AB}}{ED}=\frac{BC}{EC}=\frac{AC}{DC}

Since, \frac{\text{AB}}{ED}=\frac{AC}{DC}

\frac{42}{6}=\frac{x}{(32-x)}

6x = 42(32 - x)

6x = 1344 - 42x

6x + 42x = 1344

48x = 1344

x = \frac{1344}{48}

x = 28 units

Therefore, Option (A). x = 28 units will be the answer.

A pencil and ruler cost 1.50 together. The ruler is 1.00 more. How much is pencil
Stella [2.4K]
Ok so the solution which greenrune will (hopefully) correct


total is 1.5
p+r=1.5
rule is 1 more than pencil
r=1+p
sub 1+p for r
p+1+p=1.5
2p+1=1.5
minus 1 from both sides
2p=0.5
divide both sides by 2
p=0.25

pencil=$0.25

2x + 3y = 3 and x + 6y = -3
jekas [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplying x+6y=-3 with 2 so its equal to first eqn,

Eliminating,

2x + 3y = 3        (1)

2x +12y = -6       (2)                  (because subtracting)

------------------

      -9y =9

     ∴y=-1

eq. y in 1

2x -3=3

2x=3+3

x=6/2

=3

You have 19 digs for your current volleyball season. There are 5 games left in the season. You want to break your previous recor
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:We must get more than 7 digs in the remaining 5 games  to break record of 26.


Step-by-step explanation:

Given situation:- Let  x represents the number of digs which we must get in the remaining 5 games to break your record ,and we have 19 digs for our current volleyball season.

To break  previous record of 26 digs in a season, we have to get more than 26 i.e. 19 digs added to x must be greater than 26

⇒x+19 ≥ 26

⇒x≥26-19⇒x≥7

Therefore,we must get more than 7 digs in the remaining 5 games  to break record of 26.

Mkey [24]
Esta é a trigonometria . Se você desenhar uma linha a partir do topo da casa de luz para o barco, você terá a hypotonuse de um triângulo. Um truque é lembrar que este é um triângulo especial. É um triângulo 30-60-90 , que tem propriedades especiais mostradas na fixação abaixo . por isso sabemos que o lado adjacente que não é o hyposonuse é x√3 . Agora sabemos que x<span>√3 = 20
Solve for x.
x</span><span>√3=20
divide both sides by </span><span>√3.
x=20/(</span><span><span>√3)
</span>Try not to have square roots (</span><span><span>√)</span> in denomenator so multiply top and bottom by </span><span>√3 and get
