Hello!

$\large\boxed{x = 2}$

As the figure is a rectangle, AE ≅ EC.

AE = x + 11

EC = 6x + 1

Set the two equal to each other:

x + 11 = 6x + 1

Subtract x from both sides:

11 = 5x + 1

Subtract 1 from both sides:

10 = 5x

Divide both sides by 5:

10/5 = 5x/5

x = 2.

<h3>➤ How to solve ?</h3>

⠀⠀⠀⠀

For solving such problems we need to recall some rules and properties of quadrilateral .

Above given figure is a figure of an rectangle . We know that the diagonals of an rectangle bisect each other

⠀⠀⠀⠀

Bisect is refer to dividing the line into 2 equal parts .

⠀⠀⠀⠀

From this property of the rectangle ; we can observe in the given rectangle that

⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀AE = EC

⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀

<h3>Solution :</h3>

⠀⠀⠀⠀

As , AE = EC

⠀⠀⠀⠀

➠ x + 11 = 6x + 1

⠀⠀⠀⠀

➠ x - 6x = 1 - 11

⠀⠀⠀⠀

➠ -5x = - 10

⠀⠀⠀⠀

➠ 5x = 10

⠀⠀⠀⠀

➠ x = 10/5

⠀⠀⠀⠀

➠ x = 2

⠀⠀⠀⠀

∴ The value of x is 2 .

Cal is measuring temperature changes in four substances over different time periods as part of a school project. Which data show

djyliett [7]

Answer:

C) The third table. K= 5

$C)\frac{10}{2}=\frac{15}{3}=\frac{25}{5}=\frac{40}{8}=k= 5$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Below there are the missing data:

A proportional relationship through a constant k. It is obtained when we divide:

$k=\frac{y}{x}$

2)In this case, when we divide the temperature (T) by the time (h).

$k=\frac{T}{h}$

3)So, examining the table below we are searching for a ratio k common to all measures (temperatures over hour).

$A) \frac{12}{3}\neq\frac{25}{5}\neq\frac{36}{6}\neq\frac{81}{9}\\B) \frac{22.5}{3}\neq\frac{30}{4}\neq\frac{52.5}{7}\neq\frac{67.5}{8}\\C)\frac{10}{2}=\frac{15}{3}=\frac{25}{5}=\frac{40}{8}=k= 5\\D)\frac{8.5}{2}\neq\frac{22.5}{5}\neq\frac{28.5}{7}\neq\frac{36}{8}$

How to factor: 15x^2y^3 + 10xy^2z

eduard

Since 5 is a factor of 10 and 15 (by guess and check with factors of 10 and seeing if they're factors of 15), we get 5(3x^2y^3+2xy^2z). Next, y^2 is in both - remember that when multiplying exponents, you add them up, so we end up with 5y^2(x^2y+2xz). Lastly, x (aka x^1) is in both, so we factor that out to end up with 5y^2x(xy+2z)

Kosi traced a rectangle on a coordinate grid. The rectangle had the following vertices: (−6, 5), (2, 5), (2, –1), and (–6, –1).

juin [17]

Answer:

C) 6 units

E) 8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Kosi traced a rectangle on a coordinate grid. The rectangle had the following vertices: (−6, 5), (2, 5), (2, –1), and (–6, –1). Which of the following numbers are dimensions of the rectangle? Select each correct answer. A. 4 units B. 5 units C. 6 units D. 7 units E. 8 units F. 9 units. help, please!.

When given vertices for a geometric shapes we find the lengths of the side by using the formula:

When(x1, y1) and (x2, y2)

= √(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²

A= (−6, 5),B = (2, 5), C = (2, –1), and D = (–6, –1).

For AB

A= (−6, 5),B = (2, 5),

= √(2 -(-6)² + (5 - 5)²

= √8² + 0

= √64

= 8 units

For BC

B = (2, 5), C = (2, –1),.

√(2 - 2)² +(-1 - 5)²

= √0 + -6²

= √36

= 6 units

For CD

C = (2, –1), and D = (–6, –1).

= √(-6 -2)² + (-1 -(-1))²

= √-8² + 0²

= √64

= 8 units

For AD

A= (−6, 5), D = (–6, –1).

= √(-6 -(-6))² + (-1 - 5)²

= √0² + -6²

= √36

= 6 units

Therefore, the following numbers that are dimensions of the rectangle is

C) 6 units

E) 8 units
