Answer:

x=3.89

Step-by-step explanation:

I'll go in depth for you.

Before we figure out what we do, let understand what we know about this triangle.

  • We know that both triangles have a angle that measure 27°.
  • We also know EH=5
  • FG=9
  • ZG=7
  • We need to know how to find EZ

Notice how line EG and HF intersect at Angle Z. We know that if two lines intersect at an angle, it form angles called vertical angles. This means that the two angles that are vertical to each other are congruent.

This means that angle Z in both triangles both measure the same.

Now since both triangles have 2 congruent corresponding angles, we can say that the <em>Triangles</em><em> </em><em>are</em><em> </em><em>Similar</em><em> </em><em>due</em><em> </em><em>to</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>Angle-Angle</em><em> </em><em>Postulate</em><em>.</em>

<em>"</em><em>If</em><em> </em><em>two</em><em> </em><em> </em><em>corresponding</em><em> </em><em>angles</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>two</em><em> </em><em>triangles</em><em> </em><em>are</em><em> </em><em>congruent</em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>then</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>two</em><em> </em><em>triangles</em><em> </em><em>are</em><em> </em><em>similar</em><em>.</em><em>"</em>

<em>What</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>mean</em><em> </em><em>when</em><em> </em><em>Triangles</em><em> </em><em>are</em><em> </em><em>similar</em><em>?</em><em> </em>

<em>It</em><em> </em><em>means</em><em> </em><em>that</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>similar</em><em> </em><em>triangles</em><em> </em><em>corresponding</em><em> </em><em>angles</em><em> </em><em>are</em><em> </em><em>equal</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em>n</em><em>d</em><em> </em><em>their</em><em> </em><em>sides</em><em> </em><em>are</em><em> </em><em>in</em><em> </em><em>proportion</em><em>.</em>

<em>The</em><em> </em><em>corresponding</em><em> </em><em>sides</em><em> </em><em>are</em><em> </em>

<em>EH</em><em> </em><em>and</em><em> </em><em>GF</em>

<em>EZ</em><em> </em><em>and</em><em> </em><em>ZG</em>

<em>HZ</em><em> </em><em>and</em><em> </em><em>HF</em><em>.</em>

<em>Our</em><em> </em><em>proportion</em><em> </em><em>formula</em><em> </em><em>for</em><em> </em><em>similar</em><em> </em><em>triangle</em><em>s</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em>

<em>Any</em><em> </em><em>two</em><em> </em><em>sides</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>first</em><em> </em><em>triangle</em><em> </em><em>divided</em><em> </em><em>by</em><em> </em><em>each</em><em> </em><em>other</em><em> </em><em>must</em><em> </em><em>equal</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>two</em><em> </em><em>corresponding</em><em> </em><em>sides</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>second</em><em> </em><em>triangles</em><em> </em><em>divided</em><em> </em><em>by</em><em> </em><em>each</em><em> </em><em>other</em><em> </em><em>respectively</em><em>.</em>

<em>We</em><em> </em><em>know</em><em> </em><em>FG</em><em> </em><em>and</em><em> </em><em>ZG</em><em> </em><em>so</em><em> </em><em>let</em><em> </em><em>set</em><em> </em><em>up</em><em> </em><em>our</em><em> </em><em>first</em><em> </em><em>fraction</em>

<em>\frac{fg}{zg}</em>

<em>The</em><em> </em><em>corresponding</em><em> </em><em>sides</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>both</em><em> </em><em>are</em><em> </em>

  • <em>EH</em><em> </em><em>and</em><em> </em><em>EZ</em><em> </em><em>respectively</em><em> </em><em> </em><em>so</em><em> </em><em>our</em><em> </em><em>proportion</em><em> </em><em> </em><em>looks</em><em> </em><em>like</em>
  • <em>\frac{fg}{zg}  =  \frac{eh}{ez}</em>
  • <em>Plug</em><em> </em><em>in</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>values</em><em> </em><em>for</em><em> </em><em>each</em><em>.</em><em> </em><em>Let</em><em> </em><em>x</em><em> </em><em>represent</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>value</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>EZ</em>
  • <em>\frac{9}{7}  =  \frac{5}{x}</em>
  • <em>Cross</em><em> </em><em>Multiply</em>
  • <em>9x = 35</em>
  • <em>x = 3 \frac{8}{9}  = 3.89</em>
  • <em>So</em><em> </em><em>x</em><em>=</em><em>3</em><em>.</em><em>8</em><em>9</em>

Find the exact value of T Image below
Elanso [62]

Answer:

a) 1/800 or 0.00125

b) i) 0.0013

ii) 0.001

c) 60%

Step-by-step explanation:

T = [tan(2×30)+1][2cos(30)-1] ÷ (y²-x²)

T = (tan60 + 1)(2cos30 - 1) ÷ (41² - 9²)

T = (sqrt(3) + 1)(sqrt(3) - 1) ÷ 1600

T = (3-1)/1600

T = 2/1600

T = 1/800

T = 0.00125

Error: 0.002 - 0.00125

0.00075

%error

0.00075/0.00125 × 100

60%

Write as an expression: a number that is equal to twice as much as x
lesantik [10]

Let's call the number we're looking for y. We know that y is twice as much as x.


Twice as much as a number simply means the double of that number, and in turn the double of a number means to muliply that number by 2.


So, in order to obtain y, you have to multply x by 2. In formula, you have


y = 2\cdot x or simply y = 2x

the third side of an isosceles triangle is 8 inches shorter than the other two sides the perimeter of the triangle is 70 inches
dezoksy [38]
Isosceles triangle has 2 sides that are the same length. So what you have is three sides that measure: x, x, and (x-8). 70 = x + x + (x-8).
70 = x + x + x - 8
78 = 3x
x = 26.
and 26 - 8 = 18.
So two of your sides are 26 inches and the last side is 18 inches.
