Answer:

x = 14.8

Step-by-step explanation:

As these triangles are similar, every side and angle corresponds and this is key to calculating this equation.

First, look at the side that is labeled x + 8 and find the corresponding side on the other triangle. Write this out as a fraction as shown below. Now find two corresponding sides that are both marked (the base lines) and write them out as a fraction as well (note that which ever triangle you are solving for, it's numbers will go on the top of the fraction)

\frac{x + 8}{36} = \frac{38}{60}

We want to get the x by its self and at the moment it is divided by 36. To remove the 36, we need to multiply both sides of the equation by 36

36 x \frac{x + 8}{36} = \frac{38}{60} x 36

This cancels out both the 36s on the left leaving us with

x + 8 = \frac{38}{60} x 36

all that needs to happen now is to remove the +8 so we are just left with x. to do this, just subtract 8 from both sides and we are left with

x = \frac{38}{60} x 36 - 8

calculate 38 ÷ 60 x 36 - 8 = 14.8

∴ x = 14.8

I hope this was helpful and not too long :-)

when is the appropriate to model data with a linear function. give example of a real world data that can modeled with a linear f
Natalija [7]

Answer:

You can model a data using a linear function when the dependent variable is a multiple of the independent formula plus another constant by the y-intercept. The constant multiple is represented by the slope. In real life problems, linear function is applied when you want to determine the cost given with a slope which is represented by cost per unit time. For example, the cost of wifi connection is $10/month plus $2 inclusive for phone charges. The linear function would be:

C = 10t + 2

where C is the cost and t is time in months

In a square, one pair of opposite sides was made 50% longer and the other pair of opposite sides was made 50% shorter
omeli [17]
Sorry, maybe is too late for you, But the answer is:
For example: 4 x 4=16cm² if <span> one pair of opposite sides was made 50% longer and the other pair of opposite sides was made 50% shorter
It became: 6 x 2=12cm</span>²
12/16=0.75
So, the 75% <span>of the square’s area is the area of the new rectangle.</span>
