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

(degrees/360) times (area big-areasmall)
big is 10
small is 4 (10-6=4)
areabig=10^2 times pi or 100pi
areasmall=4^2 times pi or 16pi
areabig-areasmall=100pi-16pi=84pi

then find the fraction

84pi times (150/360)=35pi square inches

Write a variable expression to describe the rule for the sequence. Then find the 100th term. 35, 36, 37,...

Dmitry [639]

Given expression is 35, 36, 37, 38...

First term a = 35

Common difference d = 36-35 = 1

Nth term of arithmetic sequence is:

$n_{th} = a+ (n-1)d$

$n_{th}= 35+(n-1)(1)$

$n_{th} = 34+n$

To find the 100th term, substitute n = 100

$n_{100} = 34 +100$

$n_{100} =134$

Correct option is B

Write an equation for the line that passes through (2,10),(0,4)

Y_Kistochka [10]

I'm going to go right ahead and assume that we're talking about a linear equation.

The linear equation passing through the points given is y=3x+4, since it satisfies both of the points given.

The required number will be 16

the expression will be like :

$9 {x}^{2} + 24x + 16$

$(3x) {}^{2} + (2 \times 3x \times 4) + (4) {}^{2}$

$(3x + 4) {}^{2}$

hope it helps you cap !!
