What is the value of x?

Mathematics
1 answer:
kenny6666 [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

x = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle ABP and triangle CDR are similar.  Thus, we can solve this problem for x using an equation of proportions:

hypotenuse     leg length

    15+42               10+x

----------------     =   ----------

       42                     x

Then (15+42)x  =  42(10+x) after cross multiplication

      57x            =  420 + 42x

Subtracting 42x from both sides, we get

      15x             =    420.

Dividing both sides by 15 results in

        x               =   28

A fish tank at an aquarium has a volume of 1,568 cubic feet and a depth of 8 feet. If the base of the tank is square, what is th
marin [14]
If the base of the tank is a square, then the length and width are the same, making the area length*width*height=length*length*8=length^2*8=1268. Dividing both sides by 8, we get length^2=158.5 and by square rooting both sides we get length=sqrt(158.5)=around 12.6 for the length (and width), and 8 feet for the depth/height

Which sequence is geometric and which is arithmetic?
tekilochka [14]

The table on the left is <u>arithmetic</u>

This is because each term is increasing by the same amount (2) each time.

  • 3+2 = 5
  • 5+2 = 7
  • 7+2 = 9
  • 9+2 = 11

--------------------------------------------

The table on the right is <u>geometric</u>

Why? Because this time we are multiplying each term by the same value (2) to get the next term.

  • 3*2 = 6
  • 6*2 = 12
  • 12*2 = 24
  • 24*2 = 48

Both involve the number 2, but the first table uses addition while the second table uses multiplication.
