Answer:

The value of x is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us solve the question

∵ Δ PQR ≈ Δ FGH

→ From similarity, then their corresponding sides have an equal ratio

∴ $\frac{PQ}{FG}$ = $\frac{QR}{GH}$ = $\frac{PR}{FH}$

∵ PQ = 3, QR = x + 3, PR = 2

∵ FG = 6, GH = 6x + 2, FH = 4

→ Substitute them in the ratios above

∴ $\frac{3}{6}$ = $\frac{x+3}{6x+2}$ = $\frac{2}{4}$

→ By using cross multiplication between the first two ratios

∵ 3 × (6x + 2) = 6 × (x + 3)

∴ 3(6x + 2) = 6(x + 3)

∴ 3(6x) + 3(2) = 6(x) + 6(3)

∴ 18x + 6 = 6x + 18

→ Subtract 6x from both sides

∵ 18x - 6x + 6 = 6x - 6x + 18

∴ 12x + 6 = 18

→ Subtract 6 from both sides

∵ 12x + 6 - 6 = 18 - 6

∴ 12x = 12

→ Divide both sides by 12

∴ x = 1

A suppose price per person for an event. If 17 people sign up. And the price per person is 213 what will be the price per person

Alex787 [66]

Answer:

338.28

Step-by-step explanation:

If 17 people sign up the price is 213

We want to khow the price if 27 people sign up

So:

17=> 213

27=> x( the unkhown price)

x= (27*213)/17 = 338.28

parker correctly answered 70% of the questions on his math test. If he answered 35 questions correctly, how many questions were

Alexandra [31]

Let the total number of questions in the math test be defined by the variable x.

Now, we know that Parker correctly answered 35 questions. These 35 questions make 70% of the total number of questions on his math test.

The information we have above can be expressed as an equation given below:

70% of x=35

This can be rewritten as:

$\frac{70}{100}x=35$

Thus, to find the total number of questions we will have to isolate x.

$\therefore x=\frac{35\times 100}{70}=50$

Therefore, there were a total of 50 questions in the math test.

A triangle is inscribed in a circle. The vertices of the triangle divide the circle into three arcs of lengths 3, 4, and 5. What

krok68 [10]

The area of the required triangle is <u>9/π²(3 + √3)</u> sq. units.

In the question, we are given that a triangle is inscribed in a circle. The vertices of the triangle divide the circle into three arcs of lengths 3, 4, and 5.

We are asked for the area of the triangle.

Now, the circumference of the circle = 3 + 4 + 5 = 12 units.

The formula for the circumference is 2πr, which gives is:

2πr = 12,

or, r = 6/π.

The length of the arcs are proportional to its central angle, making the angles: 3θ, 4θ, and 5θ, which needs to sum up to 360°, giving us θ = 360°/12 = 30°.

Thus, the three arcs subtends angles of θ₁ = 3θ = 90°,θ₂ = 4θ = 120°, and θ₃ = 5θ = 150°.

The area of the circle can be calculated as:

Area = (1/2)r² sin θ₁ + (1/2)r² sin θ₂ + (1/2)r² sin θ₃ = r²/2(sin θ₁ + sin θ₂ + sin θ₃).

Substituting the values, we get:

Area = 36/2π²(sin 90° + sin 120° + sin 150°),

or, Area = 36/2π²( 1 + √3/2 + 1/2),

or, Area = 9/π²(3 + √3).

Thus, the area of the required triangle is <u>9/π²(3 + √3)</u> sq. units.
