Answer:
a) yes; 12/15/17 ~ 20/25/x; SAS
b) x = 28 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
The left-side segments are in the ratio ...
top : bottom = 12 : 8 = 3 : 2
The right side segments are in the ratio ...
top : bottom = 15 : 10 = 3 : 2
These are the same ratio, and the angle at the peak is the same in both triangles, so the triangles are similar by the SAS postulate.
Normally, a similarity statement would identify the triangles by the labels on their vertices. Here, there are no such labels, so we choose to write the statement in terms of the side lengths, shortest to longest:
12/15/17 ~ 20/25/x
__
The sides of similar triangles are proportional, so the ratio of longest to shortest sides will be the same in the two triangles. In the smaller triangle, the longest side is 17/12 times the length of the shortest side. The value of x will be 17/12 times the length of the shortest side in the larger triangle:
x = 17/12 · 20 = 340/12
x = 28 1/3
So the question is asking what is 6.2% of 1000? Then rounding our decimals?
(x + 1)²(x - 4)(-2x + 3)
(x + 1)(x + 1)(x - 4)(-2x + 3)
(x² + x + x + 1)(-8x² + 3x + 8x - 12)
(x² + 2x + 1)(-8x² + 11x - 12)
(-8x^4 + 11x³ - 12x² - 16x³ + 11x² - 12x - 8x² + 11x - 12)
(8x^4 + 11x³ - 16x³ - 12x² + 11x² - 8x² - 12x - 11x - 12)
8x^4 - 5x³ + 15x² - 23x - 12
The answer is D)6x2 square units.
A surface area of a cube is a sum of its sides' areas. A side of the cube is a square, and there are total 6 sides of the cube. Also, an area of the side of the cube is the area of the square, which can be expressed as a², where a is the length of the side. Therefore, the surface area (SA) of the cube is:
SA = 6*a² = 6a²
If side length is x, that means that a = x units.
After replacing it in the formula, you will have:
SA = 6a² = 6x² square units
