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.

What is the area of the triangle?<br> 16<br> 8<br> 10
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

64

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the area of both triangles inside the bigger triangle and add them together.

Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the missing length of the leg in the smallest triangle:

a² + b² = c²

8² + b² = 10²

64 + b² = 100

36 = b²

6 = b

Calculate the area of the smaller triangle:

1/2(<em>b</em>x<em>h</em>)

1/2(6 x 8)

1/2(48)

24

Calculate the area of the bigger triangle:

<em>We know that the longer leg is 10 units because we were able to subtract the length of the smaller triangle's leg from 16.</em>

1/2(<em>b</em>x<em>h</em>)

1/2(10 x 8)

1/2(80)

40

Add both areas to find the area of the largest triangle:

40 + 24 = 64

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

C. y = 2 (x + 3)³ − 4

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x³

Stretch vertically by 2.

y = 2x³

Shift horizontally 3 units to the left.

y = 2 (x + 3)³

Shift vertically 4 units down.

y = 2 (x + 3)³ − 4
