Solve for x. The polygons in each pair are similar.

Mathematics
1 answer:
VMariaS [17]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the value of x if the polygons in each pair are similar.

As they are similar, the ratio of their sides are equal.

The sides of first polygon are 6,12 and 4.8. On the other hand, the sides of second polygon are (2x-9) and 18.

So,

\dfrac{6}{2x-9}=\dfrac{12}{18}\\\\\dfrac{6}{2x-9}=\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\\dfrac{3}{2x-9}=\dfrac{1}{3}\\\\x=9

So, the value of x  is equal to 9.

The initial expression is:

-10+\frac{r}{5}=1

So we can solve for r so:

\begin{gathered} \frac{r}{5}=1+10 \\ r=11\cdot5 \\ r=55 \end{gathered}

What is the slope-intercept form of the function that contains the point (8, 12) and has a slope of _2?
Crank
The function has a slope : m = - 2 and contains the point ( 8, 12 ).
y = m x + b
12 = ( - 2 ) * 8 + b
12 = - 16 + b
b = 12 + 16
b = 28
The slope-intercept form of the function is:
y = - 2 x + 28

Four times the square of a certain number increased by 6 times the number equals 108.find the number
slamgirl [31]
To effectively determine the correct answer, it would be helpful to write this into an algebraic expression. We let x as the number. We do as follows:

<span>Four times the square of a certain number increased by 6 times the number equals 108.

4x^2 + 6x = 108

The numbers can be either of the following since the equation generated was a quadratic equation which has two roots.
x = 4.5
x = -6 </span>
