Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

\frac{2x+4}{2x+4+4} = \frac{x+7}{x+7+3}

\frac{2x+4}{2x+8} = \frac{x+7}{x+10} ( cross- multiply )

(2x + 4)(x + 10) = (x + 7)(2x + 8) ← expand factors on both sides

2x² + 24x + 40 = 2x² + 22x + 56 ( subtract 2x² from both sides )

24x + 40 = 22x + 56 ( subtract 22x from both sides )

2x + 40 = 56 ( subtract 40 from both sides )

2x = 16 ( divide both sides by 2)

x = 8

Question 1 (1 point)
Naily [24]

Answer:

P ( -1, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given ratio is AP : PB = 3 : 2 = m : n  and points A(5,6) B(-5,-9)

We will calculate coordinates of the point P which divides line segment AB  in the following way:

xp = (n · xa + m · xb) / (m+n) = (2 · 5 + 3 · (-5)) / (3+2) = (10-15) / 5 = -5/5 = -1

xp = -1

yp = (n · ya + m · yb) / (m+n) = (2 · 6 + 3 · (-9)) / (3+2) = (12-27) / 5 = -15/5 = -3

yp = -3  

Point P( -1, -3)

Could you help me understand cross sections of three-dimenstional object its harder than it sound.​
umka21 [38]

A section, or cross-section, is a view of a 3-dimensional object from the position of a plane through the object. A section is a common method of depicting the internal arrangement of a 3-dimensional object in two dimensions. It is often used in technical drawing and is traditionally crosshatched.

Cross sections of three-dimensional objects are two-dimensional shapes of various sizes. They may be parallel to a side or base of the object or at an angle to these surfaces. A cross section may resemble the shape of the object’s side or base, or it may have a completely different shape.
