1) You have vertical angles here. This means the big and small triangles are similar, meaning the ratio of corresponding sides of the two triangles are equal.

In this case, 32cm corresponds to 4cm and 40cm corresponds to x. To find x, set up the ratio as follows: 4/32 = x/40.

4/32 can be reduce to 1/8. Multiply each side by 40 to isolate x. you get 1/8 * 40

This yields x = 5 cm

2) set up a proportion, similar to the first question.

(x + 4)/8 = (2x + 1)/12
12(x + 4) = 8(2x + 1)
12x + 48 = 16x + 8
40 = 4x
x = 10

the length of BC is (x + 4) + (2x + 1) = 3x + 5

this means BC = 35

A grocer sells 30 loaves of bread a day. The cost is $2.50 per loaf. The grocer estimates that for each $0.50 increase in cost,

Viktor [21]

Answer:

none of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

The grocer's revenue will be the product of the number of loaves sold (30-2x) and their price (2.50+0.50x).

Revenue will be positive for values of x between those that make these factors be zero. The number of loaves sold will be zero when ...

... 30 -2x = 0

... 15 -x = 0 . . . . . divide by 2

... x = 15 . . . . . . . add x

The price of each loaf will be zero when ...

... 2.50 +0.50x = 0

... 5 + x = 0 . . . . . . . multiply by 2

... x = -5 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 5

Revenue will be positive for any number of increases greater than -5 and less than 15.

_____

D is the best of the offered choices, but it is incorrect in detail. -5 is a number less than 15, but will give zero revenue.

A)
To be similar triangles have to have equal angles
triangle ZDB'
1)angle Z=90 degrees
triangle B'CQ
1) angle C 90 degrees

angle A'B'Q=90
DB'Z+A'B'Q+CB'Q=180, straight angle
DB'Z+90+CB'Q=180
DB'Z+CB'Q=90

triangle ZDB'
DZB'+DB'Z=180-90=90

DB'Z+CB'Q=90
DZB'+DB'Z=90
DB'Z+CB'Q=DZB'+DB'Z
2)CB'Q=DZB' (these angles from two triangles ZDB' and B'CQ )
3)so,angles DB'Z and B'QC are going to be equal because of sum of three angles in triangles =180 degrees and 2 angles already equal.
so this triangles are similar by tree angles
b)
B'C:B'D=3:4
B'D:DZ=3:2
CQ-?
DC=AB=21
DC=B'C+B'D (3+4= 7 parts)
21/7=3
B'C=3*3=9
B'D=3*4=12
B'D:DZ=3:2
12:DZ=3:2
DZ=12*2/3=8
B'D:DZ=CQ:B'C
3:2=CQ:9
CQ=3*9/2=27/2

c)
BC=BQ+QC=B'Q+QC
BQ' can be found by pythagorean theorem
