Find the missing length the triangles are similar.

Mathematics
1 answer:
ch4aika [34]3 years ago
8 0

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.

Answer: 13

Remark

There is no short way to do this problem and no obvious way to get the answer other that to solve each part.  

Solve

A

\dfrac{x + 1.6}{2} =\text{x + 0.1}                    Multiply by 2

x + 1.6 = 2(x + 0.1)                                         Remove the brackets

x + 1.6 = 2x + 0.1*2                                        

x + 1.6 = 2x + 0.2                                          Subtract x from both sides

1.6 = x + 0.2                                                  Subtract 0.2 from both sides  

1.6 - 0.2 = x                        

1.4 = x

Circle A

B

Subtract 2x from both sides.

3x - 2x = 1.4

Circle B

C

Remove the brackets.

4x + 6 = 2x - 6           Add 6 to both sides

4x + 12 = 2x               Subtract 4x from both sides.

12 = -2x                      Divide by - 2

12/-2 = x

x = - 6                         Don't circle C

D

I'm going to be very scant in my solution of this. You can fill in the steps.

3x = 4.2

x = 4.2/3

x = 1.4

Circle D

26. Law of sines, please give a step by step explanation
Stels [109]

Answer:

  174.6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

It can be helpful to draw a diagram of the triangle we're concerned with. (See attached.)

We know the angle at the end of the shadow inside the triangle is 52°-22° = 30°. We assume the tree is growing straight up out of the hillside, so its angle with the hill inside the triangle is 90°+22° = 112°. Then the remaining angle between the shadow and the tree at the top of the tree is ...

  180° -30° -112° = 38°

Now, we have the angle opposite the tree, and the angle opposite the known side length of the triangle (215 feet along the hill, AC in the diagram). This is enough information to usefully use the Law of Sines.

  c/sin(C) = a/sin(A)

  c = a(sin(C)/sin(A)) = (215 ft)(sin(30°)/sin(38°)) ≈ 174.6 ft

The height of the tree is about 174.6 feet.

please help! I missed one day of class in algebra and missed learning this so I'm really confused! if someone could help me that
Kipish [7]
Perpendicular means it’s opposite reciprocals for example : the slope is 2 then the perpendicular line’s slope would be -1/2 because it flips the number also makes it the opposite sign.

If it’s parallel then the slope would be the same

I hope that helps

Andrea's Sequoia gets 12 miles per gallon while driving in the city, and 20 miles per gallon while on the highway. The last time
Oxana [17]

Answer:

60miles

Step-by-step explanation:

if they drove x miles in the city and y miles on the highway then you know that

x + y = 280

x/12 + y/20 = 16

x + 12y/20 = 16*12 = 192

8y/20 = 88

y = 220

x = 280-y = 280-220 = 60
