Answer:

Length of diagonal is 18 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in trapezoid ABCD. AC is a diagonal and ∠ABC≅∠ACD. The lengths of the bases BC and AD are 12m and 27m. We have to find the length of AC.

Let the length of diagonal be x m

In ΔABC and ΔACD

∠ABC=∠ACD      (∵Given)

∠ACB=∠CAD      (∵Alternate angles)

By AA similarity theorem, ΔABC~ΔACD

∴ their corresponding sides are proportional

\frac{x}{27}=\frac{12}{x}=\frac{AB}{CD}

Comparing first two, we get

⇒ \frac{x}{27}=\frac{12}{x}

⇒ x^2=27\times 12

⇒ x=\sqrt324=18

hence, the length of diagonal is 18 m

(-5) + 4  =  -1  = 5 - 4 = 1  

(But take the symbol of the bigger number, which is 5)  (-)

Answer:

a) one solution

b) no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Systems of equations can be described as having one solution, no solution or infinite solutions:

One solution:  'x' and 'y' are equal to only one value

No solution:  'x' and 'y' can not be solved with the given equations

Infinite solutions:  values for 'x' and 'y' include all real numbers

In order to evaluate the systems, putting them in the same format is your first step:

a) - y  = -5x - 6 or y - 5x = 6

   y - 5x = -6

Since both equations have the same expression 'y - 5x', but there are equal to opposite values, this system would have no solution, as this would not be possible to calculate.

b) y + 3x = -1

  y = 3x -1 or y - 3x = -1

Solving for 'y' by adding the equations and eliminating 'x', gives us:

2y = -2 or y = -1

Using y = -1 to plug back into an equation and solve for 'x':  -1 + 3x = -1 or x = 0.  Since 'x' and 'y' can be solved for a value, the system has just one solution.

Write 77.5% as a fraction or mixed number in simplest form.
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

The answer is  77\frac{1}{2} .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

77.5%.

Now, to write as a fraction or mixed number in simplest form.

77.5%

So, we divide by 10 by removing decimal as decimal is at tenth place.

= \frac{775}{10}

So, simplifying it:

=\frac{155}{2}

Now, we change into mixed fraction:

=77\frac{1}{2}

Therefore, the answer is 77\frac{1}{2} .
