Solve the following problems: Find x, y

Mathematics
1 answer:
vladimir1956 [14]3 years ago

Answer:

x=1.25, y=1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

The two triangles formed (one triangle with side lengths of 5, 7, 8 and another with sides 5+x, 10, and 7+y) are similar, because they share the same angle measures.

Now, 2 sides given that we can compare ratios with are the side with length 8, and the side with length 10. 10/8= 1.25, which is the ratio of the sides on these 2 triangles.

Now we want to find what the side '5+x' is equal to. To do that we can use our  ratio, and multiply 5 by 1.25 to find '5+x'. This is 6.25. To find x, all we need to do is subtract 5 from 6.25, which is 1.25.

Let's find y now. Do the same thing that we did with the side '5+x'; find what '7+y' is by multiplying 7 by 1.25, which is 8.75. 8.75-7= 1.75.

Hope this helps! :)

Determine if the statement is true or false<br> The figures below are similar
artcher [175]

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

The polygons given have 5 sides, so the sum of their interior angles is (5-2) * 180 = 540. Next, there are 4 pairs of corresponding sides. Writing those sides as a, b, c, and d, for each pentagon, we can write

540 = a + b + c + d + missing angle

540 = a + b + c + d + missing angle

As is shown here, if a, b, c, and d are the same, 540 - (a+b+c+d) = missing angle is the same as well. Therefore, there are 5 corresponding angle pairs for the two polygons. Furthermore, because there are only 5 angles for each polygon, and because having all corresponding angles be equal makes polygons similar to each other, the polygons given are similar

Answer:

A.) 1018 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The largest sphere will have a diameter equaling the length of the cube (see picture).

If the side length of the cube is 18 inches, the diameter of the sphere is also 18 inches. Use the surface area formula for a circle:

SA=4\pi r^2

For this formula, we need the radius of the sphere. Divide the diameter by 2:

\frac{18}{2}=9

The radius is 9 inches. Plug this into the equation:

SA=4\pi *9^2

Simplify the equation:

SA=4\pi *81\\\\SA=324\pi \\\\SA=1017.87

Round the result to the nearest whole number:

1017.87 → 1018

The surface area is 1,018 inches².

:Done

Picture:

In a 2D version, we can clearly see that if the circle fits snuggly inside of the square, the diameter of a sphere is the same as the length of a side of the cube.
