Mathematics
1 answer:
netineya [11]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

x = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure shows two similar triangles. Thus, the side lengths of similar triangles are proportional to each other. Therefore:

\frac{24}{24 - 15} = \frac{x}{x - 25}

\frac{24}{9} = \frac{x}{x - 25}

Cross multiply

24(x - 25) = 9(x)

24x - 600 = 9x

Subtract 24x from each side

- 600 = 9x - 24x

- 600 = -15x

Divide both sides by -15

40 = x

x = 40

How do i find the circumcenter of a triangle with an undefined slope
gulaghasi [49]

The slope perpendicular to an undefined slope is: 0

Example:

x = 5 is a vertical line and has an undefined slope.

The line perpendicular to it is y = <em>any value</em> which has a slope of 0.


I hope this makes sense.  If not, please post the homework question so we can help you find the circumcenter.

Point R is located at (3, 2) and point S is located at (8, 15) .
Ulleksa [173]

Answer: (4, 4.6)

=======================================

The x coordinates of the points (3,2) and (8,15) are x = 3 and x = 8 respectively. The distance between these x values is 8-3 = 5 units. So we move 5 units to the right to go from the first point to the second point.

Imagine we had 5 blocks. If 1 of them is colored red and the other four are green, then the ratio of red to green is 1:4. We have 1 part red, 4 parts green. So 1+4 = 5 total. The "red block" in the metaphor mentioned basically tells us how far to move over the total distance 5. So we move 1/5th of the way along the horizontal distance of 5.

1/5 of 5 = (1/5)*5 = 1

So we move exactly one unit along the x direction. Therefore, we add 1 to to the x coordinate of (3,2) to end up with (3+1,2) = (4,2). This isn't the final answer, but it helps get us closer.

---------------

For the y coordinates of the given points we see that the y difference is 15-2 = 13. Multiply this by 1/5 to get

(1/5)*13 = 13/5 = 2.6

We follow effectively the same steps as before, but now we're dealing with the y values this time. So we move 2.6 units in the y direction (ie move 2.6 units up)

Add 2.6 onto the y value of that last point we found to get (4,2+2.6) = (4,4.6)

So that explains why the answer is (4, 4.6)

A visual might help so I've posted one below in the attached images. In that image, the location of point T is the final answer.

Your little brother just learned how to flip and catch a coin. He believes that by catching the coin in mid-air, he can influenc
coldgirl [10]
<h2>Answer explanation:</h2>

If a coin is fair then it has two faces , one is heads and the another is tails.

The probability getting any favorable outcomes is given by the formula :-

\dfrac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}

So the factor effecting probability is just the number of  favorable outcomes and total outcomes.

If a coin is tossed then the probability of getting heads will be :-

P(H)=\dfrac{1}{2}=0.5=50\%

To get heads always this should be 1 , which can be happen if number of  favorable outcomes is equal to total outcomes.

i.e. Number of heads = Number of total outcomes, this means coin should be biased.

Catching the coin in mid-air can never be a factor for this.

Therefore, the little brother's theory is false.
