40/12=3.33
3.33x18= 59.94

3.33 since we know 12 is for 40 we can set up an equation

Find x please and FAST!!!

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

19

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle ZYW is congruent to angle YWX, so the 3 angles must add to 180.

(3x - 5) + 90 + 2x = 180

5x + 85 = 180

5x = 95

x = 19

CD is perpendicular to AB and passes through point C5, 12).

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

x intercept of CD = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a line AB with its end coordinates. and Another line segment CD which is perpendicular to AB. We have the coordinates of C , and we are asked to find the x intercept of line CD.

For that we need to find the equation of CD

we have coordinates of C , and hence if we have slope of CD we can find equation of CD

Slope of CD can be determine with the help of slope of AB as CD⊥ AB

So, the slope of CD $mCD = -\frac{1}{mAB}$

Hence we start from determining slope of AB

slope is given as

$m= \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$m= \frac{14-(-3)}{7-(-10)}=\frac{17}{17}=1$

Hence $mAB=1$

There fore $mCD=-1$

(∵ Product of Slopes of two perpendicular lines is always -1)

Now we find the equation of CD with the help of slope -1 and coordinates of C(5,12)

$m=\frac{y-y_1}{x-x_1}$

$-1=\frac{y-12}{x-5}$

$-x+5=y-12$

$y=-x+17$

Hence we have our equation , now in order to find the x intercept we keep y = 0 in it and solve for x

$0=-x+17$

$x=17$

Hence the x intercept is 17

A random number generator app on your phone generates two numbers between 0 and 8. What is the probability that the first number

aev [14]

Answer:

1/27

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 9 numbers between 0 and 8. 3 of them are less than 3 (0, 1, and 2), and 1 of them is 6.

The probability is therefore (3/9) (1/9) = 1/27.

!30 POINTS! How can I use this trapezoid to prove the Pythagorean Theorem?

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

Pythagorean Theorem: c2 = a2 + b2

Find the area by adding the areas of the three triangles. The area of a right triangle is: A = ½bh

Two triangles are identical so you can just multiply the area of the first triangle by two: 2A1 = 2(½bh) = 2(½ab) = ab.

The total area of the trapezoid is : A1 + A2 = ab + ½c2

You multiply both sides by 2 to get rid of the ½: (a2 + 2ab + b2) = 2ab + c2

You subtract out the 2ab: a2 + b2 = c2.

Then what is left is the proof: a2 + b2 = c2
