△ XYZ∼ △ DEF, YZ is 10 meters, ​ XZ ​ is 15 meters, and EF is 8 meters. What is ​ DF?

Solution:

As, △ XYZ∼ △ DEF , so the ratio of sides of triangle is equal.

So, we have, \frac{XY}{DE} =\frac{YZ}{EF} =\frac{XZ}{DF}

Using, \frac{YZ}{EF} =\frac{XZ}{DF}

So, we get,\frac{10}{8} =\frac{15}{DF}

Now, to solve for DF, we must simplify

Simplifying,\frac{10}{8} =\frac{5*2}{4*2}=\frac{15}{DF)

\frac{5}{4} =\frac{15}{DF}

To simplify, Let us multiply by 4*DF on both sides

\frac{5*4DF}{4} =\frac{15*4DF}{DF}

\frac{5DF}{1} =\frac{15*4}{1}

So, 5 DF=15*4=60

To solve for DF, let us divide by 5 on both sides

\frac{5}{5} DF=\frac{60}{5}

\frac{1}{1} DF=\frac{12}{1}

So, DF=12meters

son4ous [18]

Answer:

The length of each of the other two sides would be  3.1 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The options of the question are</em></u>

A. 3.1 cm

B. 3.2 cm

C. 4.2 cm

D. 6.1 cm

we know that

An isosceles triangle has two equal sides and two equal interior angles

Let

x -----> the length of each of the two equal sides in the isosceles triangle

The perimeter of one isosceles triangle is equal to

P=2x+2

Remember that

To maximize the use of the wire, the perimeter of 6 earrings (3 pairs of earrings) must be equal to 50 cm

so

6(2x+2)=50

Solve for x

12x+12=50

12x=50-12

12x=38

x=\frac{38}{12}=3.16\ cm

therefore

The length of each of the other two sides would be  3.1 cm

This is my last question i swear pls help
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

To find a

sin 30=a/6in

1/2=a/6in

2a=6in

a=6in/2

a=3in

To find b

cos 30=b/6in

/3/2=b/6in

2b=/3*6in

b=2/3(two radical three)

I don't get the radical sign so I use / sign on the last 3 steps on the second

Original price =282$ %Markdown =10%
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

Markdown is a reduction in the price of a product, made either by a commercial promotion, by a limited-time offer, by a discount due to a failure in the product, or any other situation that implies the realization of said reduction in the final price of the product for sale.

Thus, if the original price of the product is $282, and it has a markdown of 10%, to determine the discounted amount and the final price of the product, the following calculation must be made:

282 x 0.10 = X

28.2 = X

Thus, the discount on the original price is $ 28.20. Therefore, the final sale price will be $ 253.80 (since 282 - 28.20 is equal to that number).
