The polygons are similar. Find the value of x and y.

Mathematics
1 answer:
harina [27]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

x = 9, y = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

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

\frac{x-1}{6} = \frac{16}{12} ( cross- multiply )

12(x - 1) = 96 ( divide both sides by 12 )

x - 1 = 8 ( add 1 to both sides )

x = 9

Also

\frac{y+1}{21} = \frac{16}{12} ( cross- multiply )

12(y + 1) = 336 ( divide both sides by 12 )

y + 1 = 28 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

y = 27

A gift shop sells 140 wind chimes per month at $90 each. The owners estimate that for each $5 increase in price, they will sell
guapka [62]

Answer: $95

Step-by-step explanation:

Te new price will be 90 + 5x, if the price increases "x" times

The number of wind chimes sold per month will become 140 - 7x

\begin{aligned}&\text {Revenue, } \mathrm{R}(\mathrm{x})=(90+5 \mathrm{x})(140-7 \mathrm{x}) \\&R^{\prime}(x)=5(140-7 x)-7(90+5 x) \\&R^{\prime}(x)=700-35 x-630-35 x \\&R^{\prime}(x)=70-70 x=0 \\&70 x=70 \\&x=1\end{aligned}

Therefore, if the price becomes (90 + 5(1)) = $95 per wind chime, then the revenue will be maximum

I need Help ASAP PLS, WILL FAN AND MEDAL  79 POINTS IF ANSWER
Alenkinab [10]
Okay, i went with a rectangle, if the rectangle base is 12 and the height is 6 then it would be 12*6 + 12*6 + 12*6= 216 now the ratio is easy , 72:72 because that's what makes up the 12*6 and because there is 3 it's 72 two times now for part b 5 x 10 so that is the height and length so now what you want to do is do what you did the second time so it would be 72:50.
Extra tips: To find the volume of any cube you need to know the length, width and height. The formula to find the volume multiplies the length by the width by the height. The good news for a cube is that the measure of each of these dimensions is exactly the same. Therefore, you can multiply the length of any side three times.

Find the equation of a line that passes through the point (2,1) and has a gradient of 2. Leave your answer in the form ax + by =
Arte-miy333 [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

normally, if we have the gradient (or slope of inclination or change rate) and a point, we start using the point-slope form :

y - y1 = a(x - x1)

with (x1, y1) being a point on the line, and a being the slope of gradient (or ... however you want to call it).

y - 1 = 2(x - 2) = 2x - 4

y + 3 = 2x

2x - y = 3
