Answer:

  • ΔABC ~ ΔPQR
  • PQ = 8
  • PR = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles A and P are marked congruent; angles B and Q are marked congruent, so the triangles are similar by the AA similarity postulate. The similarity statement can be written ...

  ΔABC ~ ΔPQR by AA similarity

__

The ratio of sides of PQR to ABC is the ratio QR/BC = 12/6 = 2. That is, each side in the larger triangle is 2 times the length of the corresponding smaller side.

  PQ = 2·AB = 2·4 = 8

  PR = 2·AC = 2·7 = 14

The side lengths of interest are ...

  PQ = 8, PR = 14

Use the quadratic formula to find the complex solutions to the equation 10x2 – x + 9 = 0.
melomori [17]

Quadratic formula: (-b +/- sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)) / 2a

a = 10

b = -1

c = 9

1 +/- sqrt((-1)^2 - 4(10)(9)) / 2(10)

1 +/- sqrt(1 - 360) / 20

x = 1 +/- sqrt(359i) / 20

Hope this helps!
