Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The missing length is 13 because,

Lets say the top triangle is A and the bottom triangle is B.

Triangle A gives us the side GF, and Triangle B gives us the sides TU and ST. Since the triangles are similar(as stated in the problem), we can pair 2 sides GF(A) and TU(B) which is 11:22.(one way I usually figure which sides are similar is by first- matching the hypotenuse, then checking which of the remaining two is longer.. if that made any sense). You can see that their relationship is x2 or /2 (In another word, from A to B is multiplication- ex: 11 * 2 is 22, and from B to A is division- ex 22/2 is 11.) Since the missing number is the hypotenuse of triangle A and you know the Hypotenuse of triangle B all you have to do is divide side TS by 2 to get side SF. So the missing side is 13.

Trava [24]

Answer: $sin(B)=\frac{3}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a triangle ABC is a Right Angled Triangle. The side AB is hypotenuse, so the angle opposite to side AB which will be angle C is a Right Angle (measures 90 degrees)

We have the side length of all 3 sides. Based on this information, we can construct a triangle with given measures. The triangle is shown in the attached image.

We have to find the value of Sin(B). Sin of an angle is defined as:

$sin(\theta)=\frac{\text{Opposite Side}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$

The side opposite to angle B is AC with a length of 3 and hypotenuse is side AB with length 5. So Sin of angle B would be:

$sin(B)=\frac{3}{5}$

Determine if the following system of equations has no solutions, infinitely many

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

infinitely many solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 6y = -5

3x + 18y = -15

Multiply the first equation by 3

3(x + 6y) = -5*3

3x + 18y = -15

The two equations are identical. This means they have infinite solutions along the line x+6y = -5

3/8 of flower garden are red and 3/6 are yellow which is greater, less than or equal

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

3/8 < 3/6

This is because, when the common denominator (24) is found, the fractions are 9/24 (red) and 12/24 (yellow).
