Do a proportion. X/7/8=1/1/2. 7/8 x 1= 7/8. Now do 7/8 divided by 1/2. To do this multiply 7/8 by the reciprocal of 1/2 which is 2/1. 7 x 2= 14 and 8 x 1=8. Improper fraction is 14/8. It is 1 6/8 as a mixed number which is simplified to 1 3/4. Answer is 1 3/4
There isn't enough info to prove the triangles to be congruent or not. So we can't say for sure either way.
We have angle CAD = angle ACB given by the arc markings, and we know that AC = AC due to the reflexive theorem. However we are missing one third piece of information.
That third piece of info could be....
- AD = BC which allows us to use SAS
- angle ACD = angle CAB which allows us to use ASA
- angle ABC = angle CDA which allows us to use AAS (slight variation of ASA)
Since we don't know any of those three facts, we simply don't have enough information.
side note: If AB = CD, then this leads to SSA which is not a valid congruence theorem. If we had two congruent sides, the angle must be between the two sides, which is what AD = BC allows.
Answer:
<em>The answer is a = 6.</em>
Answer:
Direct Variation Use y=kx. Means “y varies directly with x.” k is called the constant of variation. “y varies inversely with x.” k is the constant of variation.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:
y is easy.
it is the Hypotenuse (baseline) of the small right-angled triangle created by the height (8) of the main triangle, the segment 6 of the main Hypotenuse and y.
so, Pythagoras :
y² = 8² + 6² = 64 + 36 = 100
y = 10
x is a bit more complex.
I think the easiest way to get it is to know that the height of a right-angled triangle to the Hypotenuse is the square root of the product of both segments of the Hypotenuse.
so, if we call the segments of the Hypotenuse a and b with a = 6, we have
x = a + b = 6 + b
height (8) = sqrt(a×b) = sqrt(6b)
therefore,
6b = height² = 8² = 64
b = 64/6 = 32/3 = 10 2/3 = 10.66666666...
so,
x = 6 + 10.66666... = 16.666666666...
round it to what is needed. e.g. 2 positions after the decimal point (hundredths) ? then it would be 10.67
