Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

side AB is proportional to side XY

side AC is proportional to side XZ

Since we know side AB and side XY are proportional to each other, if we divide side AB by side XY, we can find the size difference...

12 / 4 = 3

The smaller triangle is 3 times smaller than the bigger triangle so we can find side XZ by dividing side AC by 3...

18 / 3 = 6

x = 6

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Find, find the total increase in salary for 7 years;

If 1 year = $4,000

7 years = ?

=7*4000

=28,000 in total

Original salary = $169,300

Add the total increase in salary to the original salary;

169,300 + 28,000 = 197,300

Therefore, in 7 years, the salary would be $197,300

Captain Jessica has a ship, the H.M.S Crimson Lynx. The ship is two furlongs from the dread pirate Ishaan and his merciless band

OLga [1]

Answer:

9/40

Step-by-step explanation:

Captain Jessica shoots first. This means her ship has not already been hit, which means she has a 2/5 chance of hitting the pirate ship. This also means she has a 1-2/5 = 3/5 chance of missing the pirate ship.

Since Captain Jessica misses, dread pirate Ishaan has a 3/8 chance of hitting the captain's ship. This means he has a

3/5(3/8) = 9/40 chance of the captain missing the pirate and the pirate hitting the captain.

Which expression is equivalent to the expression below? StartFraction 6 c squared 3 c Over negative 4 c 2 EndFraction divided by

Fudgin [204]

The given equation $(6c^2+3c)/(-4c+2)\div (2c+1)/(4c-2)$ is equivalent to the expression -3c.

Given that, the expression can be written as.

$(6c^2+3c)/(-4c+2)\div (2c+1)/(4c-2)$

By simplifying the above equation,

$\dfrac{6c^2+3c}{-4c+2}\div \dfrac{2c+1}{4c-2}$

By taking out the common terms from the equation,

$\dfrac{3c(2c+1)}{2(-2c+1)}\div\dfrac{2c+1}{2(2c-1)}$

By simplifying the above equation by cancel out the common factors.

$\dfrac{3c}{-2c+1} \div \dfrac{1}{2c-1}$

Now, by taking (-1) common from (-2c+1) we get,

$\dfrac{3c}{-1(2c-1)} \div \dfrac{1}{2c-1}$

By simplifying the above equation, we get the expression,

$-3c$

So the given equation $(6c^2+3c)/(-4c+2)\div (2c+1)/(4c-2)$ is equivalent to the expression -3c.

A man starts at a point A and walks 18 feet north. He then turns and walks due east at 18 feet per second. If a searchlight plac

34kurt

Answer:

1/10 per sec

Step-by-step explanation:

When he's walked x feet in the eastward direction, the angle Θ that the search light makes has tangent

tanΘ = x/18

Taking the derivative with respect to time

sec²Θ dΘ/dt = 1/18 dx/dt.

He's walking at a rate of 18 ft/sec, so dx/dt = 18.

After 3seconds,

Speed = distance/time

18ft/sec =distance/3secs

x = 18 ft/sec (3 sec)

= 54ft. At this moment

tanΘ = 54/18

= 3

sec²Θ = 1 + tan²Θ

1 + 3² = 1+9

= 10

So at this moment

10 dΘ/dt = (1/18ft) 18 ft/sec = 1

10dΘ/dt = 1

dΘ/dt = 1/10 per sec
