Find the value of x in the triangle. SU RV

Mathematics
1 answer:
kodGreya [7K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Δ TSU and Δ TRV are similar , thus the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

\frac{TS}{TR} = \frac{TU}{TV} , substitute values

\frac{x}{x+16} = \frac{5}{15} = \frac{1}{3} ( cross- multiply )

3x = x + 16 ( subtract x from both sides )

2x = 16 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 8

Three boxes have a total weight of 640 pounds. Box A weights twice as much as Box B. Box C weight 30 pounds more than Box A. How
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

  A: 244 pounds

  B: 122 pounds

  C: 274 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

We have A+B+C = 640; A=2B; C=A+30. Substituting the last into the first gives ...

  A + B + (A +30) = 640

  2A +B = 610 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 30

Substituting the second into this equation gives ...

  2(2B) +B = 610

  B = 610/5 = 122 . . . . . divide by 5

  A = 2B = 244 . . . . . . . .find A from B

  C = A+30 = 274 . . . . . find C from A

Box A weighs 244 pounds; box B weighs 122 pounds; box C weighs 274 pounds.

Emma is building a wall around her garden. It has taken 45 minutes,and she is 75% done. What is the total time it will take Emma
Morgarella [4.7K]
Hey there,
It take 45 min to complete 75% of the wall
1% = 45 / 75
      = 0.6
100 % = 0.6 x 100
           = 60 min
It takes her 60 mins or 1 hour to finish building the wall.

Hope this helps :))

If UW =9x-9 what is UW as units
Vaselesa [24]
UW is always equal to 9x-9 or 9(x-1) whenever x is a real number.  By adding in x, we can get the value.
 
For example, if x was 4, we add in x, giving us 9*4-9=36-9=27 units or
9(4-1)=9(3)=27 units

Hoped this helped in time!

If sin A = 8/17 and tan B = 40/9 and angles A and B are in Quadrant I, find the value of * tan(A + B) .
nirvana33 [79]

Step-by-step explanation:

tanA=8/15 and tan B=40/9

tan(A+B)=(tanA+tanB)/1-tanAtanB

(8/15+40/9)/1-(8/15×40/9)

=-672/185
