Answer:

  • One proportion to solve is 8/18 = x/8
  • Exact answer as a fraction: x = 32/9
  • Approximate answer in decimal form: x = 3.556

In reality, the 5's go on forever, but we have to round off somewhere.

========================================================

Explanation:

Break up the triangles as your teacher recommends. See the diagram below as to what I mean.

The smaller triangle has A = 8 as the horizontal side, and B = x as the vertical side

The larger triangle has C = 10+8 = 18 as the horizontal aside, and D = 8 as the vertical side.

We can form the proportion A/C = B/D.

A/C connects the horizontal sides (small/large) while B/D has the vertical sides tied together. The order of division is the same small over large. You could do large over small, but make sure you keep both sides consistent.

-----------------

Let's solve for x

A/C = B/D

8/18 = x/8

8*8 = 18*x .... cross multiply

64 = 18x

18x = 64

x = 64/18 .... divide both sides by 18

x = 32/9  exactly in fraction form

x = 3.556 approximately in decimal form

-------------------

Another proportion you can solve is A/B = C/D and you should get the same x value. It's the same as A/C = B/D because the B and C swap places. There are many other approaches you could take using different proportions.

They are similar triangles. Meaning they are the same triangle just different sizes(smaller version of the big one) That means all the proportions are the same so to figure out x you would put it in proportion that would look like x/8= 8/18 (8+10)and you would cross multiply to solve it. So x would equal 3.5 or 32/9

Anyone know how to find the area of an equilateral triangle circumscribed about a circle, given the radius of the circle?
tia_tia [17]
Warning: This might be rough...
First draw it out. Label the angles at the corners of the triangle 60 (definition of equilateral triangles). Now draw a line from the center of the circle to the corner, splitting the corner in half. Label this line R and a corner as 30 degrees. No to find the height of this triangle, you do rsin(30). The base of this triangle is 2rcos(30). Now find the area of this mini triangle (rsin(30)*2rcos(30)/2=r/2*rsqrt(3)/2=r^2sqrt(3)/4). Now multiply this by 3 because you have 3 mini triangles... to get...

Solve for X. Please!!
pychu [463]

Answer:

x = 37.5

Step-by-step explanation:

By Basic Proportionality Theorem:

\frac{x}{20}  =  \frac{46 - 16}{16} \\  \\   \frac{x}{20}  =  \frac{30}{16} \\  \\  x =  \frac{20 \times 30}{16}  \\  \\ x =  \frac{600}{16}  \\  \\ x = 37.5
