Use the side-splitter theorem to solve for x in the triangle below.

Mathematics

fiasKO [112]3 years ago

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the side-splitter theorem, the two sides of the triangle is divided proportionally if the line that intersects both sides is parallel to the third side of the ∆.

Therefore, based on this theorem, we would have the following:

\frac{x}{21} = \frac{8}{24}

Solve for x

\frac{x}{21} = \frac{1}{3}

Multiply both sides by 21

\frac{x}{21}*21 = \frac{1}{3}*21

x = \frac{21}{3}

x = 7

How do you solve compound event please hurry
egoroff_w [7]
There are different formulas for calculating the two types of compound events: Say A and B are two events, then for mutually exclusive events: P(A or B) = P (A) + P(B). For mutually inclusive events, P (A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B).

Answer:

  x = 39

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem tells you the sum of the squares of the sides of a right triangle is the square of the hypotenuse.

  x² +80² = 89²

  x² = 89² -80² = 7921 -6400 = 1521

  x = √1521

  x = 39

These questions are all of the same type: division. They ask to find how many of a number can fit in another number.

As for question 5, there are 42 pounds of dog food, and \frac{7}{8} pound of dog food is used for each feeding. To find the number of times Mr. Lash can feed his animals, divide 42 by \frac{7}{8}. The answer is 48.

Solving the rest of the questions by this method, here are the answers. If you wish you can do them yourself to verify your understanding.


6) 12

7) 4

8) 8

9) 2

Note: in question 9, the question is in reverse order compared to the other questions.
