Answer:

$x=30$

Step-by-step explanation:

Both triangles in this figure are similar. Therefore, we can set up the following proportion:

$\frac{21}{x}=\frac{14}{20}$ .

Cross-multiply to solve:

$14x=21\cdot 20,\\x=\frac{21\cdot20}{14},\\x=\fbox{$30$}$ .

I'm not entirely sure what you are asking but the equation would be r/220=t.

(X^2+y^2+x)dx+xydy=0 Solve for general solution

Check if the equation is exact, which happens for ODEs of the form

$M(x,y)\,\mathrm dx+N(x,y)\,\mathrm dy=0$

if $\frac{\partial M}{\partial y}=\frac{\partial N}{\partial x}$ .

We have

$M(x,y)=x^2+y^2+x\implies\dfrac{\partial M}{\partial y}=2y$

$N(x,y)=xy\implies\dfrac{\partial N}{\partial x}=y$

so the ODE is not quite exact, but we can find an integrating factor $\mu(x,y)$ so that

$\mu(x,y)M(x,y)\,\mathrm dx+\mu(x,y)N(x,y)\,\mathrm dy=0$

is exact, which would require

$\dfrac{\partial(\mu M)}{\partial y}=\dfrac{\partial(\mu N)}{\partial x}\implies \dfrac{\partial\mu}{\partial y}M+\mu\dfrac{\partial M}{\partial y}=\dfrac{\partial\mu}{\partial x}N+\mu\dfrac{\partial N}{\partial x}$

$\implies\mu\left(\dfrac{\partial N}{\partial x}-\dfrac{\partial M}{\partial y}\right)=M\dfrac{\partial\mu}{\partial y}-N\dfrac{\partial\mu}{\partial x}$

Notice that

$\dfrac{\partial N}{\partial x}-\dfrac{\partial M}{\partial y}=y-2y=-y$

is independent of x, and dividing this by $N(x,y)=xy$ gives an expression independent of y. If we assume $\mu=\mu(x)$ is a function of x alone, then $\frac{\partial\mu}{\partial y}=0$ , and the partial differential equation above gives

$-\mu y=-xy\dfrac{\mathrm d\mu}{\mathrm dx}$

which is separable and we can solve for $\mu$ easily.

$-\mu=-x\dfrac{\mathrm d\mu}{\mathrm dx}$

$\dfrac{\mathrm d\mu}\mu=\dfrac{\mathrm dx}x$

$\ln|\mu|=\ln|x|$

$\implies \mu=x$

So, multiply the original ODE by x on both sides:

$(x^3+xy^2+x^2)\,\mathrm dx+x^2y\,\mathrm dy=0$

Now

$\dfrac{\partial(x^3+xy^2+x^2)}{\partial y}=2xy$

$\dfrac{\partial(x^2y)}{\partial x}=2xy$

so the modified ODE is exact.

Now we look for a solution of the form $F(x,y)=C$ , with differential

$\mathrm dF=\dfrac{\partial F}{\partial x}\,\mathrm dx+\dfrac{\partial F}{\partial y}\,\mathrm dy=0$

The solution F satisfies

$\dfrac{\partial F}{\partial x}=x^3+xy^2+x^2$

$\dfrac{\partial F}{\partial y}=x^2y$

Integrating both sides of the first equation with respect to x gives

$F(x,y)=\dfrac{x^4}4+\dfrac{x^2y^2}2+\dfrac{x^3}3+f(y)$

Differentiating both sides with respect to y gives

$\dfrac{\partial F}{\partial y}=x^2y+\dfrac{\mathrm df}{\mathrm dy}=x^2y$

$\implies\dfrac{\mathrm df}{\mathrm dy}=0\implies f(y)=C$

So the solution to the ODE is

$F(x,y)=C\iff \dfrac{x^4}4+\dfrac{x^2y^2}2+\dfrac{x^3}3+C=C$

$\implies\boxed{\dfrac{x^4}4+\dfrac{x^2y^2}2+\dfrac{x^3}3=C}$

Please help me thank youuuuuu

First, find the arc measure BD. The arc measure is twice the central angle measure. BD should be 48*2 = 96.

The chord BC looks like it’s the diameter of the circle, so it must have a measure of 180.

From here you can find DC. The total measure of a circle is 360.
360- 96-180 = 84, so DC is 84.

DBC is 360- DC
so 360- 84 = 276.

DCB is just 360- BD
so 360- 96 = 264.
Hope this helps!
