What is the value of x? ​

Mathematics
1 answer:
mr Goodwill [35]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Similar

The two triangles

1) the one making up the peak of the large triangle

2)the large triangle  

are similar. That is because the 2 bases are parallel and corresponding angles are equal. The third angle at the peak is common. So by AAA they are similar.

Proportion

Therefore the sides are in proportion.

5/40 = 3/(2x + 10)

Solution

Cross multiply

5*(2x + 10) = 40*3

Remove the brackets on the left. Combine the right.

10x + 50 = 120          

Subtract 50 from both sides

10x + 50 - 50 = 120 - 50

10x = 70

Divide by 10

10x/10 = 70/10

x = 7

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer:

D. reflection across a vertical line

Step-by-step explanation:

Reflection is basically a mirror image. Since you can see that the first triangle is flipped over to get the second one, this is a reflection.

It is not a vertical translation; this means that the triangle shifted up or down.

It is not a horizontal translation, this means that the triangle shifted left or right.

It is not a rotation about point A either, this would have meant that the triangle spun around.

Answer:

15% increase

Step-by-step explanation:

2750... 10% of that is 275, add 275 to 2750 is 3025. 1% of 2750 is 27.50, you times that by 5, which is 137.50 and add that to 3025 giving you 3162.50, add the 10% with the 5% gives you 15%, that's the increase.
