Answer:

Wilton found 10 dimes while cleaning his father's truck.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Total amount collected = $8.50 = 8.50*100 = 850 cents

Let,

x be the number of dimes

y be the number of quarters

According to given statement,

10x+25y=850     Eqn 1

y = 3x     Eqn 2

Putting y=3x in Eqn 1

10x+25(3x)=850\\10x+75x=850\\85x=850

Dividing both sides by 85

\frac{85x}{85}=\frac{850}{85}\\x=10

As x represents dimes, therefore, number of dimes is 10.

Hence,

Wilton found 10 dimes while cleaning his father's truck.

Show that the two triangles given beside are similar and calculate the lengths of sides PQ and PR.
Rina8888 [55]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • ΔABC ~ ΔPQR
  • PQ = 8
  • PR = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles A and P are marked congruent; angles B and Q are marked congruent, so the triangles are similar by the AA similarity postulate. The similarity statement can be written ...

  ΔABC ~ ΔPQR by AA similarity

__

The ratio of sides of PQR to ABC is the ratio QR/BC = 12/6 = 2. That is, each side in the larger triangle is 2 times the length of the corresponding smaller side.

  PQ = 2·AB = 2·4 = 8

  PR = 2·AC = 2·7 = 14

The side lengths of interest are ...

  PQ = 8, PR = 14

Find the value of x.
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

11

Step-by-step explanation:

All angles on a triangle equal 180. 80+60=140.

Now to solve for x, we set it to equal 40 for 180-140.

40=3x+7. 40-7=33

33=3x 33/3=11

x=11
