Answer: The answer is x = 6 units.
Step-by-step explanation: Please refer to the attached diagram
The diagram in the question shows two triangles placed on each other and for convenience sake has been labelled ABDCE. Triangle ABC is a right angled triangle, and so is triangle ADE. From the marks on the lines, we can infer that line AD is equal in measurement to line DB. Also line AE is equal in measurement to line EC.
Therefore we can see the similarity in both triangles, if AD and AE equals DB and EC, then it follows that DE equals BC.
Hence if AD = DB and
AE = EC, and
DE = BC
Then, x - 3 = ½x
(½x can also be expressed as x/2)
x - 3 = x/2
By cross multiplication we now have
2(x - 3) = x
2x - 6 = x
By collecting like terms we now have
2x - x = 6
x = 6
Answer:
All 3 are right triangles.
Step-by-step explanation:
In a right triangle c^2 = a^2 + b^2 where c is the longest side. ( by Pythagoras).
a) 3^2 = 9, 6^2 = 36 and √27 ^ 2 = 27
36 = 9 + 27
So this is a right triangle.
b)
17^2 = 289, 15^2 = 225 and 8^2 = 64
289 = 225 + 64
Also right triangle.
c) √50 ^ 2 = 50, 5^2 = 25 and 5^2 = 25
So also right triangle.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Remark
The rate is going to be the same as the distance travelled in 1 hour. The units will be different.
Formula
d = r * t
Givens
d = 558 miles
t = 3 hours
Problem A
r = d / t
r = 558/ 3 = 186 miles / hr
Problem B
Givens
r = 186 miles / hour
t = 1 hour
d = ?
Solution
d = 186 mi/hr * 1 hr
d = 186 miles
<u>Note</u>
This looks really trivial, but it's not. You have to learn to see the difference between a number and its units. It's not very often that the numbers will be the same, but if the units differ, then it is an entirely different question.
