By Pythagoras theorem

RQ^{2}= x^{2} + 16^{2}
RS^{2}= x^{2} + 9^{2}

SQ^{2}= RS^{2}  + RQ^{2}
SQ^{2}= x^{2} + 16^{2}  + x^{2} + 9^{2}
SQ^{2}=2 x^{2} +256+81
25^{2}=2 x^{2} +337
625-337=2 x^{2}
288=2 x^{2}
144= x^{2}
x=12

Answer:  The value of x is 12 units.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the value of x from the figure.

We can see that triangle RSQ is a right-angled one with m∠SRQ = 90°. And RT is perpendicular to the hypotenuse SQ.

Given ST = 9 units, TQ = 16 units  and  RT = x = ?

Since ΔRSQ is a right-angled triangle with hypotenuse SQ and RT is perpendicular to SQ, so we must have

RT^2=ST\times TQ\\\\\Rightarrow x^2=9\times 16\\\\\Rightarrow x^2=144\\\\\Rightarrow x=\pm \sqrt{144}\\\\\Rightarrow x=\pm12.

Since the length of a line segment cannot be negative, so the value of of x is 12 units.

Thus, the required value of x is 12 units.

A restaurant manager wants to purchase 200200 sets of dishes. one design costs ​$1010 per​ set, while another costs ​$5555 per s
Sophie [7]
Unless it was a restaurant for the king ..... i am going to assume your 
200200 is 200
$1010 is $10
$5555 is $55
$78507850 is $7850 


Let x be the number of $10 design set
$10 design set = x
$55 design set = 200 - x

10x + 55(200 - x) = 7850
10x + 11000 - 55x = 7850
55x - 10x = 11000 - 7850
45x = 3150
x = 70
200 - 70 = 130

70 of the $10 design and 130 of the $55 design

I have a value that is 35% of the total value. I want to know what the total value is and what formula is used to work this out?
Serjik [45]
Since 35% is 0.35 ( by moving the decimal point 2 spots to the left) and 100% (the total value) is 1, we want to see how much we want to multiply the value (we'll call it x for now) by to get the total value. To get that, we divide 1 by 0.35 to get 1/0.35. Therefore, the formula is x*1/0.35
