If ABC and EDC are similar, what is the value of x? A

Mathematics
1 answer:
abruzzese [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

BC/DC = EC/AC , substitute values

3x×5/32 - 5x-5/56 ( cross- multiply )

56(3x - 5) = 32(5x - 5) ← distribute and simplify both sides

168x - 280 = 160x - 160 ( subtract 160x from both sides )

8x - 280 = - 160 ( add 280 to both sides )

8x = 120 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x = 15

How much would 500$ invested at 9% interest compounded annually be worth after 4 years?
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

$705.79

Step-by-step explanation:

(see attached for reference)

the formula for compound interest is

A = P [1 + (r/n) ]^(nt)

Where:

P = Principal Amount = $500

r = annual interest rate = 9% = 0.09

t = 4 years

n = 1 (compounded annually)

A = 500 [1 + (0.09/1) ]^(1 x 4)

A = 500 [1 + 0.09 ]^(4)

A = 500 [1.09 ]^(4)

A = $705.79

How sensitive to changes in water temperature are coral reefs? To find out, scientists examined data on sea surface temperatures
Oduvanchick [21]

The correlation coefficient tells that every increase in sea surface temperature of one degree Celsius will result in an average of 0.1578 fewer centimeters of coral growth per year.

Using technology

The mean= x bar = 26.4667

The mean = y bar= 0.86

The standard deviation= Sx= 0.2251

The standard Deviation Sy=  0.0438

The Correlation Coefficient= r = -0.8111

The slope= b= r* Sy/Sx= -0.15789

The intercept is 5.0389

(d)<u><em> Every increase </em></u>in sea <u><em>surface temperature</em></u> of one degree Celsius will result in an average of <em><u>0.1578 fewer</u></em> centimeters of <em><u>coral growth</u></em> per year.

Here the independent variable is X the sea surface temperature and dependent variable is the Y coral growth.

As the temperature decreases which is along x- axis the growth increases along y axis.

From the given options the option d is the best answer according to the question given.

The same values are calculated using different technology .

A cone has A height of 10.3 inches in the diameter of 6 inches what is the volume of the cone
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

V=97.08

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the volume of a cone is V= 1/3 pi (r)^2 (h)

To find the radius divide the diameter by 2. 6/2=3

Plugin: V=1/3 pi(3)^2(10.3)=97.08
