If PQR ~ UTV, find the value of x.

Mathematics
1 answer:
user100 [1]3 years ago
5 0

The value of x is 15.

Solution:

Given ΔPQR \sim ΔUTV.

<em>If two triangles are similar, then the corresponding parts are congruent.</em>

$\Rightarrow \frac{PR}{UV} =\frac{RQ}{VT}

$\Rightarrow \frac{14}{x + 6} =\frac{8}{x -3}

Do cross multiplication, we get

⇒ 14(x - 3) = 8(x + 6)

⇒ 14x - 42 = 8x + 48

Add 42 on both sides.

⇒ 14x = 8x + 90

Subtract 8x on both sides.

⇒ 6x = 90

Divide by 6 on both sides.

⇒ x = 15

The value of x is 15.

Answer:

90 Degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The find the measure of that angle, find the measure of it's intercepted arc, which is already given as 180. When you find the measure of the intercepted arc, to find the measure of the angle/ divide the measure of the intercepted arc by 2, since the angle is on the circle and boom you get 90 degrees

PLEASE HELP ME YOU WILL GET A LOTT OF POINTS PLEASE!!!!
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

h = 6 hours, A = $210

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for Lady Luck Limousine's (LLL) total amount is A = 25h + 60, where h represents the hours.

The equation for Street Scene Limousine's (SSL) total amount is A = 35h.

To find the point at which the two services would be equal, we can use the equation 25h + 60 = 35h.

Solving for h = 6.

When we plug in 6 into either one of the equations, we get $210.

PLS HALP on formulas involving polygons
jeyben [28]
The sum of all five angles is 540 degrees.
A) 4*congruent angles + 5th angle = 540
B) (5th angle) -30 = 2*cong angle

A) 5th angle = 540 -4*cong angle
B) 5th angle  = 2*(cong angle)   -30
Multiplying B) by -1
B) -5th angle  = -2*(cong angle)   +30  then adding to A)
A) 5th angle = 540 -4*cong angle

-2*(cong angle)   +30  = 540 -4*cong angle
2*(cong angle) = 510
*****************************************
By trial and error I determined
each congruent angle = 95
5th angle = 160
