Answer:

7.06

Step-by-step explanation:

This triangle can be solved a couple of ways. In the end, they amount to the same thing.

1) The area is ...

A = 1/2bh = 1/2(8)(15) = 60 . . . using DG as the base

Using GE as the base, the height (DF) is ...

A = (1/2)(17)(DF)

2(60)/17 = DF = 120/17

DF ≈ 7.06

__

2) Using similar triangles, we can find the ratio of the long side to the hypotenuse as ...

(long side)/(hypotenuse) = DE/GE = DF/DG

DF = DG(DE/GE) = 8(15/17) = 120/17

DF ≈ 7.06

In the rhombus, angle 1=9x, angle 2=y+x, and angle 3=15z. Find the value of each variable. The diagram is not to scale.
notka56 [123]
From the diagram, all three angles are 90° (Diagonals of a Rhombus)

Angle 1 = 9x = 90
⇒ 9x = 90
x = 90/9
x = 10


Angle 2 = y + x = 90
⇒ y + x = 90
since x = 10,
y + 10 = 90
y = 90 - 10
y = 80


Angle 3 = 15 z = 90
⇒ 15z = 90
z = 90/15
z = 6

Answer is Option C
<span>C. x = 10, y = 80, z = 6</span>

A bag contains white marbles and red marbles, 20 in total. The number of white marbles is 5 more than 2 times the number of red
Nitella [24]

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

let r represent red marbles then white = 2r + 5 and total is 20, thus

r + 2r + 5 = 20 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

3r = 15 ( divide both sides by 3 )

r = 5 ← number of red marbles

Thus number of white = 20 - 5 = 15
