Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing you should notice is that the triangles (the smaller one and the larger one) are similar due to angle-angle similarity (the top angle equals itself, and because the bases are parallel lines cut by a transversal, the base angle of the bigger triangle is equal to the corresponding base of the smaller triangle.

Similar triangles' corresponding sides have equal ratios to one another. That means we can set up an equation: side of smaller triangle ÷ corresponding side of larger triangle = other side of smaller triangle ÷ corresponding side of larger triangle. We plug the values given to us and can change this equation to:\frac{x}{x + 12} = \frac{x + 1}{x + 16} **

We now multiply both sides of the above equation by (x + 12)(x + 16) to get: x(x + 16) = (x + 1)(x + 12)

x^{2}  + 16x = x^{2}  + 13x + 12

3x = 12

x = 4

That means our answer, for the value of x, is 4

** Make sure you don't say \frac{x}{12} = \frac{x + 1}{15}, because those aren't the sides of the larger square.

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

By the Triangle Proportionality Theorem:

\displaystyle \frac{x}{12}=\frac{x+1}{15}

By cross-multiplication:

\displaystyle 12(x+1)=15(x)

Distribute:

12x+12=15x

Subtract 12x from both sides:

12=3x

Hence:

x=4

Answer:

Part A)

The height of the water level in the rectangular vessel is 2 centimeters.

Part B)

4000 cubic centimeters or 4 liters of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a cubical vessel that has side lengths of 10cm. The vessel is completely filled with water.

Therefore, the total volume of water in the cubical vessel is:

V_{C}=(10)^3=1000\text{ cm}^3

This volume is poured into a rectangular vessel that has a length of 25cm, breadth of 20cm, and a height of 10cm.

Therefore, if the water level is h centimeters, then the volume of the rectangular vessel is:

V_R=h(25)(20)=500h\text{ cm}^3

Since the cubical vessel has 1000 cubic centimeters of water, this means that when we pour the water from the cubical vessel into the rectangular vessel, the volume of the rectangular vessel will also be 1000 cubic centimeters. Hence:

500h=1000

Therefore:

h=2

So, the height of the water level in the rectangular vessel is 2 centimeters.

To find how how much more water is needed to completely fill the rectangular vessel, we can find the maximum volume of the rectangular vessel and then subtract the volume already in there (1000 cubic centimeters) from the maximum volume.

The maximum value of the rectangular vessel is given by :

A_{R_M}=20(25)(10)=5000 \text{ cm}^3

Since we already have 1000 cubic centimeters of water in the vessel, this means that in order to fill the rectangular vessel, we will need an additional:

(5000-1000)\text{ cm}^3=4000\text{ cm}^3

Sincer 1000 cubic centimeters is 1 liter, this means that we will need four more liters of water in order to fill the rectangular vessel.

Max and his friend zeke are comparing their ages. they figure out that if they double maxs age from 3 years ago and add it to ze
chubhunter [2.5K]
The first step of solving this problem is to find your x, which is the unknown number. The unknown number is the age of Max. Once you find the x you can write out your equation.

The equation for this problem is:

2x+8=26

the first step is to subtract 8 from both sides so that all you have on the left side is 2x and your equation will look like ths:

2x=18

after subtracting the 8; divide everything by the coefficient of x which is 2, your result is:

x=9

Max is 9 years old.
