Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the two polygons are similar, one property of similar polygons is that if one were to multiply each side length by a certain number (referred to as the ratio of similitude), they would get the side length of the corresponding side on the other polygon. To find the ratio one has to divide the side length of one polygon by its corresponding side length in the other polygon.

30 ÷ 25 = 1.2

Set up an equation by multiplying one side length by the ratio of similitude, set it equal to its corresponding side length in the other polygon;

1.2 (35) = 4x + 10

Simplify,

42 = 4x + 10

Inverse operations,

42 = 4x + 10

32 = 4x

8 = x

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use proportions to solve this and the similarity from smaller side to corresponding larger side:

$\frac{s}{l}:\frac{25}{30}=\frac{35}{4x+10}$ and cross multiply to solve for x:

1050 = 25(4x + 10) and

1050 = 100x + 250 and

800 = 100x so

x = 8

The ratio would be 15:60 or 15/60. However, in simpliest form, it would be 1:4 or 1/4.

use the discrminant to determine all values of k which would result in the equation -3x^2-6x+k=0 having real,unequal roots. mus

boyakko [2]

Answer:

$k>-3$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the equation:

$-3x^2-6x+k=0$

Where a = -3, b = -6, and c = k.

And we want to determine values of k such that the equation will have real, unequal roots.

In order for a quadratic equation to have real, unequal roots, the discriminant must be a real number greater than 0. Therefore:

$b^2-4ac>0$

Substitute:

$(-6)^2-4(-3)(k)>0$

Simplify:

$36+12k>0$

Solve for k:

$12k > -36$

$k>-3$

So, for all k greater than -3, our quadratic equation will have two real, unequal roots.

Notes:

If k is equal to -3, then we have two equal roots.

And if k is less than -3, then we have two complex roots.

In his first 12 at bats during the baseball season, Jose had 4 hits. he maintained this hit throughout the entire season

kupik [55]

Answer:

195

Step-by-step explanation:

If we combine the data for the two seasons, then Derek Jeter had 12 + 183 = 195 total hits in 48 + 582 = 630 total at-bats. So his overall batting average

The circumference of a circle is 30 pi. what is the radius of the circle

NARA [144]

Formula to find circumference is ;
$2\pi \: radius$
Since the given circumference is 30 pi then,

30 pi = 2 pi radius.
30 = 2 radius
radius = 30/2
radius = 15

The radius is 15 for a circle tha has circumference of 30 pi
