Answer:

x = 9 y = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the two polygons are similar, we know that they are proportionate to each other. If we divide the values of corresponding sides:

16 ÷ 12 = 1 ¹/₃

32 ÷ 24 = 1 ¹/₃

We now know that the figure on the left is 1 ¹/₃ times the figure on the right. With this information, we can figure out the measurements of the two sides and then find the values of x and y.

6 · 1 ¹/₃ = 8

21 · 1 ¹/₃ = 28

Now that we know the values of each side, we can plug our equations in to find the values of x and y.

x - 1 = 8

x = 9

y + 1 = 28

y = 27

~Hope this helps!~

The 2 main support rods for a barbeque grill are each 7.5 cm from the centre of the

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

58.1 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of each support rod can be found using the Pythagorean theorem. The geometry can be modeled by a right triangle, such that the distance from centre is one leg and half the length of the rod is the other leg of a triangle with hypotenuse equal to the radius of the grill.

<h3>Pythagorean theorem</h3>

The theorem tells us that the sum of the squares of the legs of a right triangle is the square of the hypotenuse. For legs a, b and hypotenuse c, this is ...

c² = a² +b²

<h3>application</h3>

For the geometry of the grill, we can define a=7.5 and c=30. Then b will be half the length of the support rod.

30² = 7.5 +b²

b² = 900 -56.25 = 843.75

b = √843.75 ≈ 29.0473

The length of each support rod is twice this value, so ...

rod length = 2b = 2(29.0473) = 58.0947

Each support rod is about 58.1 cm long.

How many yards are in 3 times of 4 yards 2 foot

Len [333]

4 yards and 2 feet is equal 14 feet since each yard is made up of 3 feet.

1 yard = 3 feet.

So if we take 14 feet and multiply that by 3 we get 42 feet.

42/3 is equal to about 14 yards in total

So the answer is 14 yards.
