Answer

x = 6.4

Step by step explanation

The two triangles are similar. Therefore, they are in proportion.

8/10 =x/8

x = (8*8)/10

x = 64/10

x = 6.4

The value of x is 6.4

Thank you.

Answer:

The correct answer option is B. 6.4.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that in a pair of triangles, if two pairs of corresponding angles are congruent, then the triangles are similar. And if the two angle pairs are similar then the third pair must also be equal.

So, the corresponding sides are also proportional and we can write them as:

$\frac{8}{10} = \frac{x}{8}$

Now solve for x by cross multiplication to get:

$x = \frac{64}{10}$

$x=6.4$

A function g(x) is defined as shown.

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

g(4) = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the value the function g(x) when x = 4, that is;

g(4)

In the first definition of the function, the value of x is strictly less than 4. Consequently, we shall use the second definition of the function to evaluate g(4)

In the second definition, g(x) is given as;

Q(x) = 0.5x + 10

plug in x = 4 and simplify;

Q(4) = 0.5(4) + 10

Q(4) = 12

PLEASE HELP I WILL MARK THE BRAINLIEST

-BARSIC- [3]

Given: lines l and m are parallel, and line t is a transversal.

angle pair result/justification

1 and 2 are equal (vertical angles)

6 and 8 are equal (corresponding angles)

1 and 4 are equal (alternate exterior angles)

4 and 8 are supplementary angles (i.e. add up to 180 degrees, a straight angle)

Note:

alternate angles are on opposite sides of the transversal, and each attached to a different (parallel) line.

If they are both enclosed by the parallel lines, they are alternate interior angles (examples: angles 2 and 3, 6 and 7)

If they are both outside of the two parallel lines, they are alternate exterior angles (examples: angles 1 and 4, 5 and 8)

5. The students are trying to determine the distance between two particular

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

The actual distance between the cities is 211.67 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The map key indicates that 4.5 cm is equivalent to 75 cm.

Now, to find the actual distance between the cities if the cities are 12.7 cm apart on the map.

Let the actual distance be $x$ .

So, we set a proportion to find the actual distance:

4.5:12.7 = 75:x.

Changing into fractions.

$\frac{4.5}{12.7} =\frac{75}{x}$

By cross multiplication we get:

$4.5x=952.5$

Dividing both sides by 4.5 we get:

$x=211.67$

Therefore, the actual distance between the cities is 211.67 cm.
