Answer:

x = 10/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete without the diagram as this would enable us solve for x. Find attached the diagram used for solving the question.

We can tell from the question we are to compare two triangles drawn together (smaller one drawn in a bigger one) using similar triangles.

Using similar triangles to solve for x,

∆ABC = ∆ADE

∠CBA = ∠EDA = 90°

Let's relate the ratio of their corresponding sides.

(Adjacent/opposite) in ∆ABC

= (Adjacent/opposite) in ∆ADE

AB/CB = AD/ED

AB = 6

CB = 2

AD = AB + BD = 4+6 = 10

ED = x

6/2 = 10/x

3 = 10/x

3x = 10

x = 10/3

Answer:

11. Volume = 2181.2mm^3

12. Surface Area = 1204.49mm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

We first need to find the hypotenuse side of the triangle using the Pythagorean theorem:

a^2+b^2 = c^2

13.3^2+20.5^2 = c^2

176.89+420.25 = c^2

597.14 = c^2

24.44 = c

Now we can find the volume using the formula:

V = 1/4(16)sqrt-13.3^4+2(13.3*20.5)^2+2(13.3*24.44)^2

-20.5^4+2(20.5*24.44)^2-24.44^4

V = 2181.2mm^3

To find the surface area using the surface area formula:

A = (13.3*16)+(20.5*16)+(24.44*16)+1/2sqrt

13.3^4+2(13.3*20.5)^2+2(13.3*24.44)^2

-20.5^4+2(20.5*24.44)^2-24.44^4

A = 1204.49mm^2

Mike hiked to a lake in 5.5 hours at an average rate of 2 1/5 miles per hour. Pedro hiked the same distance at a rate of 2 3/5 m

Leni [432]

Answer:

3.5 hours*3.25 mph=11.375 miles

11.375 miles/3.45 mi/hr=3.297 hours or 3.30 hours, about 12 minutes faster.
