Answer:

A. x = 4; B. x = 6; y = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

The corresponding sides of similar figures are proportional to each other.

A. Rectangles

x/2 =16/8         Multiply each side by 2

  x = 2 × 16/8

  x =4

B. Triangles

x/18 = 4/12     Multiply each side by 12

    x = 18 × 4/12

    x = 6

y/8 = 12/4     Multiply each side by 8

  y = 8 × 12/4

  y = 24

Algebra applications: find the value of x and y​
Inga [223]

Answer : The value of x and y is 8 and 10 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation :

As we known that if two parallel lines are cut by a transversal line then consecutive interior angles are supplementary.

From the given figure we conclude that:

5x-y+150=180       ...........(1)

5x-y=180-150

5x-y=30      ............(2)

5x+y+130=180       ...........(3)

5x+y=180-130

5x+y=50        ...........(4)

Now we adding equation 2 and 4, we get the value of x.

5x-y+5x+y=30+50

10x=80

x=8

Now we are putting the value of x in 4, we get the value of y.

5x+y=50

5(8)+y=50

y=50-40

y=10

Therefore, the value of x and y is 8 and 10 respectively.

Show that n(n+1)(n+2) is divisible by 6<br>Solution<br>(​
vladimir2022 [97]

Proof by induction

Base case:

n=1: 1*2*3=6 is obviously divisible by six.

Assumption: For every n>1 n(n+1)(n+2) is divisible by 6.

For n+1:

(n+1)(n+2)(n+3)=

(n(n+1)(n+2)+3(n+1)(n+2))

We have assumed that n(n+1)(n+2) is divisble by 6.

We now only need to prove that 3(n+1)(n+2) is divisible by 6.

If 3(n+1)(n+2) is divisible by 6, then (n+1)(n+2) must be divisible by 2.

The "cool" part about this proof.

Since n is a natural number greater than 1 we can say the following:

If n is an odd number, then n+1 is even, then n+1 is divisible by 2 thus (n+1)(n+2) is divisible by 2,so we have proved what we wanted.

If n is an even number" then n+2 is even, then n+1 is divisible by 2 thus (n+1)(n+2) is divisible by 2,so we have proved what we wanted.

Therefore by using the method of mathematical induction we proved that for every natural number n, n(n+1)(n+2) is divisible by 6. QED.
