Answer:

x = 35, y = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both triangles are similar, their sides must be proportional with means all of them have a common ratio.

If NM = 16, and KJ = 40. 40/16 is the ratio from ∆<u>NM</u>L to ∆<u>JK</u>L. The reciprocal(numerator and denominator flip, the product of a number and it's reciprocal is 1) of this is true from ∆JKL to ∆NML.

Now to find the missing sides you multiply a side by the common ratio to find it's corresponding side length.

Dividing by a number is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal of that number.

40/16 can be reduced to 5/2 or 2 ½ as a mixed fraction.

16/40 can be reduced to 2/5 or 0.4 as a decimal.

Since the scale of ∆JKL is greater than ∆NML, you multiply by 5/2 to get the corresponding side of ∆JKL from ∆NML.

Since the scale of ∆NML is less than ∆JKL, you multiply by 2/5 to get the corresponding side of ∆NNL from ∆JKL.

Therefore x = 14 × 5/2 = 70/2 = 35.

y = 45 × 2/5 = 90/5 = 18.

Looking at the triangle we see the angles:

58, x

We also see a right angle, therefore you now have:

90, 58, 0

All three angles of a triangle should have a total of 180 degrees, so we add the known angles and subtract the total from 180.

90 + 58 = 148

180 - 148 = 32

Therefore, x = 32 or C

Evaluate the expression <br> a. tan(arctan 25) =
Mrrafil [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton's second law of motion describes the relationship between force and acceleration. They are directly proportional. If you increase the force applied to an object, the acceleration of that object increases by the same factor. In short, force equals mass times acceleration.
