Quadrilateral MBPV is similar to quadrilateral GKDF. BP = 78 mm, KD = 30 mm , and FD = 45 mm. What is VP? Enter your answer in t

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

VP = 117 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

Corresponding sides of similar quadrilaterals are proportional.

VP/FD = BP/KD

VP = FD·BP/KD = (45 mm)·(78/30) . . . . multiply by FD; fill in the givens

VP = 117 mm

2a + 2b = c for b<br> Solve for b

Leokris [45]

2a + 2b = c

Subtract 2a from both sides

2b = -2a + c

Divide both sides by 2

b = -a + (c/2)

Y= x^2 -5 solve for x

dexar [7]

$Y= x^2 -5$

We need to solve for x, we need to get x alone

$Y= x^2 -5$

Lets start by removing -5

Add 5 on both sides

$y + 5= x^2 -5 + 5$

$y + 5= x^2$

Now to isolate x , we need to remove the square from x

To remove square , take square root on both sides

$+-\sqrt{y+5} = \sqrt{x^2}$

square and square root will get cancelled

$+-\sqrt{y+5} = x$

So $x = +\sqrt{y+5}$ and $x = -\sqrt{y+5}$
