If bcd~gef find value of x

Mathematics
1 answer:
ddd [48]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

x = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment

Required

Find x

From the attachment, we have:

BC = x + 4

BD = 2x - 7

GE = 51

GF = 57

Because both triangles are similar, we use the following equivalent ratios:

BC : BD = GE : GF

Substitute values for each parameter

x + 4 : 2x- 7 = 51 : 57

Convert to fractions

\frac{x + 4}{2x- 7} = \frac{51 }{ 57}

Simplify the right-hand side

\frac{x + 4}{2x- 7} = \frac{17}{19}

Cross Multiply

19(x + 4) = 17(2x - 7)

19x + 76 = 34x - 119

Collect Like Terms

19x - 34x = -76 - 119

-15x = -195

Solve for x

x = \frac{-195}{-15}

x = 13

What is the approximate surface area of the sphere 15yd?
tekilochka [14]
<span>The surface area of a sphere is equal to [4 x Pi x R^2]. In other words, four multiplied by 3.14 multiplied by the radius squared. If the radius of a sphere is 15 yards, the approximate surface area is [4 x 3.14 x (15x15)] = [12.5 x 225] = [2,812 yd^2]. The surface area of a sphere with radius 15 yd is approximately 2,800 yards.</span>

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Interest earned during the rest of 2 years and 6 months

40 + 40 + 40 = 120

he will be getting 1000 at the time of maturity ie after 2.5 years .

Total receipt = 1000 + 120 = 1120

investment made = 820

total receipt earned = 1120

profit made = 300

time = 2.5 years

profit = investment x rate of intt x time / 100

300 = 820 x r x 2.5 / 100  where r is rate of interest

r = 30000 / 820 x 2.5

= 14.63 % .
