Answer:

7.1

Step-by-step explanation:

write pythagorean theorem x^{2} + x^{2} = 10^2

2x^2 = 100

divide 2 both side:

x^{2} = 50

\sqrt{x^2} = \sqrt{50}

x = \sqrt{50}

x = 7.07106781

round to nearest tenth:

x = 7.1

What is the solution?
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

y=60 x=16

Step-by-step explanation:

the triangles are identical so 92+y=3y-28 so solve that for y:

                                                     -y      +28

                                                  120=2y                                                                            .                                                  /2      /2

                                                  60 = y so y=60

and 6x+2=3x+50 and solve that for x: which gets x = 16

Then are you supposed to plug it in to the numerical equvilant to the angles and sides becuase if so:  B and E is 152, AC and DF are 98

Hope this helps and brainliest would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

x = 91, y = 89, z = 31 Fourth choice

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 180 - 51 - 38 = 91

y = 180 - 91 = 89

7th grade sac practice problems look at the triangular prism below. each triangular face of the prism has a base of 3 centimeter
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

72cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Base of the triangular face =3 cm.

Height of the triangular face = 4 cm.

Length of the prism = 12 cm.

Volume of a Prism= Base Area X. length

The base of a triangle prism is a triangle, therefore:

Volume of a Triangular Prism= ½bh X Length

=½ X 3 X 4 X 12

=½ X 144

=72cm³

Volume of the triangular Prism= 72cm³
