Answer:

x = 3.6

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle bisector divides the triangle proportionally.

The base segment to the right of the bisector is 6-x, so we can write the proportion ...

x/6 = (6-x)/4

Multiplying by 12, we get ...

2x = 3(6 -x)

5x = 18 . . . . . add 3x

x = 18/5 . . . . divide by 5

x = 3.6

_____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

Since the base of the triangle is given as a left-part and a sum-of-both-parts, we can write the proportion the same way:

left-part / sum-of-both-parts = x/6 = 6/(6+4)

Then the solution is x = 6(6/10) = 36/10 = 3.6.

Doing it this way avoids having x on both sides of the equation, so makes solving the equation be "one step."

Is anyone able to help me with this question:

Serga [27]

Answer:

not sure but this info might help you.

Step-by-step explanation:

the diagonal in the rectangle splits it into two right angled triangles, hence the hypotenuse is the diagonal.

once you find the measurement, we all know that a square has all sides equal and the diagonal splits it into 2 equilateral triangles. so, the side of the square =the diagonal's measurement.

A store pays a manufacturer $20 for a hat. To make a profit, the store prices the hat 60% higher than the amount they paid. Late

Molodets [167]

Answer:

The clearance price is $17.28.

The clearance price will not give the store any profit.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a store pays a manufacturer $20 for a hat. To make a profit, the store prices the hat 60% higher than the amount they paid.

The price of the hat after increasing the price by 60% will be:

$\text{Price of the hat after an increase of 60\%}=20+(\frac{60}{100}*20)$

$\text{Price of the hat after an increase of 60\%}=20+(0.60*20)$

$\text{Price of the hat after an increase of 60\%}=20+12$

$\text{Price of the hat after an increase of 60\%}=32$

So, the price of hat after the increase of 60% will be $32.

As the sale reduces the price of hat by 10%, so the price of hat after sale will be:

$\text{Price of the hat after sale of 10\%}=32-(\frac{10}{100}*32)$

$\text{Price of the hat after sale of 10\%}=32-(0.10*32)$

$\text{Price of the hat after sale of 10\%}=32-3.2$

$\text{Price of the hat after sale of 10\%}=28.8$

So the price of hat after 10% sale will be $28.8.

As the clearance sale reduces the price by 40%, so price of hat after clearance sale will be 28.8 minus 40% of 28.8.

$\text{Price of the hat after clearance sale}=28.8-(\frac{40}{100}*28.8)$

$\text{Price of the hat after clearance sale}=28.8-(0.40*28.8)$

$\text{Price of the hat after clearance sale}=28.8-11.52$

$\text{Price of the hat after clearance sale}=17.28$

Therefore, the clearance price is $17.28.

As store has purchased the hat from manufacturer for $20 and sold it $17.28, therefore, the store will not have a profit.

In the figure shown to the right, two angle measurements are given. Determine the others.

creativ13 [48]

The figure is shown below

From the figure

Angle 150 degree and angle p forms angles on a straight

Since the sum of angles on a straight line equals 180 degrees

Hence
