Answer:

x=? y=?

Step-by-step explanation:

these two triangles are similar so since the bottom side was 8 and became 10 it added 2 so therefore if you add 2 to the 5 and 7 you get

5+2=7

7+2=9

Answer:

x=1.25, y=1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

The two triangles formed (one triangle with side lengths of 5, 7, 8 and another with sides 5+x, 10, and 7+y) are similar, because they share the same angle measures.

Now, 2 sides given that we can compare ratios with are the side with length 8, and the side with length 10. 10/8= 1.25, which is the ratio of the sides on these 2 triangles.

Now we want to find what the side '5+x' is equal to. To do that we can use our ratio, and multiply 5 by 1.25 to find '5+x'. This is 6.25. To find x, all we need to do is subtract 5 from 6.25, which is 1.25.

Let's find y now. Do the same thing that we did with the side '5+x'; find what '7+y' is by multiplying 7 by 1.25, which is 8.75. 8.75-7= 1.75.

Hope this helps! :)

20 POINTS!!! PLZ ANSWER!! On the moon, the time, in seconds, it takes for an object to fall a distance, d, in feet, is given by

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

Part a) $f(2)=1.57\ sec$

It takes 1.57 seconds for an object to fall a distance of 2 feet

Part b) see the explanation

Part c) $2,165.43\ sec$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

f(d) -----> the time in seconds it takes for an object to fall

d -----> distance in feet

we have

$f(d)=1.11\sqrt{d}$

Part a): Determine f(2) and explain what it represents

we know that

f(2) represent the time in seconds it takes for an object to fall a distance of 2 feet

For $d=2\ ft$

substitute in the function above and solve for f(2)

$f(2)=1.11\sqrt{2}$

$f(2)=1.57\ sec$

therefore

It takes 1.57 seconds for an object to fall a distance of 2 feet

Part b) The imbrium basin is the largest basin on the moon. A reasonable domain for the height above the lowest point in the basin is given by {d|0 ≤ d ≤ 3805774}

What does this tell you about the basin?

The height of the basin is greater than or equal to 0 ft and less than or equal to 3,805,774 ft

The maximum height of the basin is 3,805,774 ft

Part c) How long would it take a rock to drop from the rim to the bottom of the basin?

we know that

The distance from the rim to the bottom of the basin is equal to the maximum height of the basin

$d=3,805,774\ ft$

substitute the value of d in the function f(d)

$f(d)=1.11\sqrt{3,805,774}$

$f(d)=2,165.43\ sec$

How many tiles of 10cm by a 6cm will be needed to pave a rectangular path of 5m by 3m

kherson [118]

Answer:

2500 tiles

Step-by-step explanation:

convert the path to the same units, one m = 100 cm

path= 500 cm x 300 cm

path area = 150,000 cm^2

each tile = 10x6 = 60 cm^2

150,000/60 = 2500 tiles

Which term describes the angle pair <1 and <4 . A.Right angle B. Supplementary Angle C. Complementary angle D. Vertical an

vredina [299]

<h3>Answer: Vertical angles</h3>

Explanation:

Ignore the ray that angles 2 and 3 are adjacent to. It might help to copy the drawing but erase that ray in question. All we really care about is the X shape the two lines form along with angles 1 and 4. These two angles are opposite one another. We consider them vertical angles. They don't have to align vertically. They simply have to be opposite one another like this in this X configuration. Vertical angles are always congruent to one another.
