ADHE - ADGF below. Find the value of 'x'. X H н E 8 2. 12

Mathematics
1 answer:
Vlad1618 [11]3 years ago
8 0

Given:

\Delta DHE\sim \Delta DGF

To find:

The value of x.

Solution:

We know that, corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional.

Since,\Delta DHE\sim \Delta DGF, therefore

\dfrac{HE}{GF}=\dfrac{DE}{DF}

On substituting the values from the figure, we get

\dfrac{8}{12}=\dfrac{x}{x+2}

\dfrac{2}{3}=\dfrac{x}{x+2}

On cross multiplication, we get

2(x+2)=3x

2x+4=3x

4=3x-2x

4=x

Therefore, the value of x is 4.

Find the length of the third side of the right triangle. Give an exact answer and an approximation to three decimal places if ne
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

a = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a right triangle and the square value of hypotenuse is equal to sum of square value of other two side lengths

68^2 = 60^2 + a^2

4624 = 3600 + a^2

4624 - 3600 = a^2

1024 = a^2 find the root for both sides

32 = a

Why do we square the residuals when using the least-squares line method to find the line of best fit?
Mekhanik [1.2K]

We square the residuals when using the least-squares line method to find the line of best fit because we believe that huge negative residuals (i.e., points well below the line) are just as harmful as large positive residuals (i.e., points that are high above the line).

<h3>What do you mean by Residuals?</h3>

We treat both positive and negative disparities equally by squaring the residual values.  We cannot discover a single straight line that concurrently minimizes all residuals. The average (squared) residual value is instead minimized.

We might also take the absolute values of the residuals rather than squaring them. Positive disparities are viewed as just as harmful as negative ones under both strategies.

Can someone solve this
Natalka [10]

Option D:

ΔCAN ≅ ΔWNA by SAS congruence rule.

Solution:

Given data:

m∠CNA = m∠WAN and CN = WA

To prove that ΔCAN ≅ ΔWNA:

In ΔCAN and ΔWNA,

CN = WA (given side)

∠CNA = ∠WAN (given angle)

NA = NA (reflexive side)

Therefore, ΔCAN ≅ ΔWNA by SAS congruence rule.

Hence option D is the correct answer.
