X=4 is the answer to this question
Answer:
y = √55
Step-by-step explanation:
All the triangles are similar, so the ratio of short side to hypotenuse is the same for all:
5/y = y/(5+6)
y^2 = 55
y = √55

<em>Comment on the geometry</em>
There are three "geometric mean" relationships that apply to this geometry.
- the altitude BD is the geometric mean of BC and BA (√30)
- the long side of the large triangle is the geometric mean of the longer segment of the hypotenuse and the whole hypotenuse (x = √66)
- the short side of the large triangle is the geometric mean of the shorter segment of the hypotenuse and the whole hypotenuse (y = √55)
If you were aware of the last of these relationships, you could write down the answer without any "work."
y = √(5(5 +6)) = √55
__
The geometric mean is the n-th root of the product of n numbers. When there are 2 numbers, it is the square root of their product.
B and D are the correct choices
To calculate a volume of a rectangle prism, a cabinet we only need to multiply the dimensions it has, those are height, width, deep:
v = (24)(72)(18)
v = 31104 in^3
Answer: (2,2)
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm going to use substitution to solve this:
First, I use the second equation to solve for y in terms of x.
2x - y = 2
-y = 2 - 2x
y = 2x - 2
Then, I plug the value for y into the first equation:
2x + 4y = 12
2x + 4(2x - 2) = 12
2x + 8x - 8 = 12
10x - 8 = 12
10x = 20
x = 2
Now that we have x, we can plug it into either equation (I used the first) to get the value for y:
2x + 4y = 12
2(2) + 4y = 12
4 + 4y = 12
4y = 8
y = 2
We get the point (2,2) as a solution.
Note: This is the point where both lines intersect.
