Given that ABC~LMN What is the length of AC?

Mathematics

6 0

Answer:

B. 12

Step-by-step explanation:

✔️Find the value of x

The side lengths of two similar triangles are always proportional.

Given that ∆ABC ~ ∆LMN, therefore:

\frac{AB}{LM} = \frac{AC}{LN}

AB = 5

LM = 10

AC = x + 5

LN = 3x + 3

Plug in the values

\frac{5}{10} = \frac{x + 5}{3x + 3}

Cross multiply

5(3x + 3) = 10(x + 5)

15x + 15 = 10x + 50 (distributive property)

Collect like terms

15x - 10x = -15 + 50

5x = 35

Divide both sides by 5

x = 7

✔️Find AC

AC = x + 5

Plug in the value of x

AC = 7 + 5

AC = 12

You need 320 mL of a 85% alcohol solution. On hand, you have a 60% alcohol mixture. How much of the 60% alcohol mixture and pure
Radda [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If we let x = the amount of 5% solution and y = the amount of pure alcohol, we can set up that

.05x+y is the amount of alcohol in our resulting mixture, and x+y is the total amount in our resulting mixture (which we know is 380)

so we also know that:

(.05x+y)/380 = .6

If we simplify this we come up with:

.05x+y=228

and we know x+y=380

If we solve this as a system of equations, we will find that:

x=160 ml

y=220 ml

Fill in the blanks with two consecutive integers to complete the following inequality.
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

<h2>11 and 12</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that 134 is between 11^2 and 12^2 which is 121 and 144.

So the two integers would be 11 and 12

Hope this helps :)

Find an equation of the line that goes through the points (10,34) and (-1,10)
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

Given points are ( 10 ,34 ) and ( -1 , 10)

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>The </em><em>equation</em><em> </em><em>of </em><em>line </em><em>is </em><em>given </em><em>by </em>

<em>first </em><em>we </em><em>can </em><em>find </em><em>slope </em><em>(</em><em>m</em><em>) </em>

<em>=</em><em> </em><em>(</em><em>y2 </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>y</em><em>1</em><em>)</em><em> </em><em>/</em><em> </em><em>(</em><em> </em><em>x2</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>x1</em><em>)</em>

<em>=</em><em> </em><em>3</em><em>4</em><em>-</em><em>1</em><em>0</em><em>/</em><em>1</em><em>0</em><em>+</em><em>1</em>

<em> </em><em>=</em><em>2</em><em>4</em><em>/</em><em>1</em><em>1</em>

<em>Now </em><em>the </em><em>equation </em><em>is</em>

<em>y </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>y1 </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>m </em><em>(</em><em> </em><em>x </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>x1) </em>

<em>y </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>0</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em>4</em><em>/</em><em>1</em><em>1</em><em> </em><em>(</em><em> </em><em>x </em><em>+</em><em>1</em><em>1</em><em>)</em>

<em>11 </em><em>(</em><em> </em><em>y </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>0</em><em> </em><em>)</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em>4</em><em> </em><em>(</em><em>x </em><em>+</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>1</em><em>)</em>

<em>11y </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>1</em><em>0</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>24x </em><em>+</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em>6</em><em>4</em>

<em>24x </em><em>+</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em>6</em><em>4</em><em> </em><em>+</em><em>110-11y </em><em>=</em><em>0</em>

<em>24x </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>11y </em><em>+</em><em> </em><em>3</em><em>7</em><em>4</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>0</em>

<em>which </em><em>is </em><em>the </em><em>required </em><em>equation </em>
