Answer:
x =10
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the pythagoras theorem om one of the right triangle;
(√74)² = (x/2)²+7²
74 = (x/2)²+49
(x/2)² = 74 - 49
(x/2)² = 25
Square root both sides
√ (x/2)² = ±√25
x/2 = ±5
x = 2 * ±5
x = ±10
Hence the value of x is 10
Answer:
Hello! answer: 55
Step-by-step explanation:
55 + 35 = 90 HOPE THAT HELPS!
C because if you divide the angle minus the feet you get 120
X = 650 + 60t
The cheetah must arrive at the same place at the same time:
x = 90t
650 + 60t = 90t
30t = 650
t = 650/30 ≅ 21.7 s
It takes the cheetah a little more than 20 s running at 90 ft/s to reach the moving antelope, so assuming the antelope can maintain its speed of 60, it is safe.
Since the triangles are similar, all sides are proportional by the same scale factor.
The relationship between the bases 32 and 8 is 4 (32/8 = 4). This means that the smaller triangle need to be multiplied by a scale factor 4 to result in the bigger triangle.
This means that 4x + 12 is 4 times greater than 15.
The equation to solve for x can be written as:
4x + 12 = 4*15
Now just solve for x as u normally would
4x + 12 = 60
(Subtract twelve from both sides)
4x = 48
(Divide both sides by 4 to isolate x)
x = 12
I hope this somewhat helped :)
Was my explanation clear enough?
