Find the value of x in the triangle shown below

Mathematics
1 answer:
JulijaS [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

we can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this problem

x^2 + 4^2 = 5^2

x^2 + 16 = 25

x^2 = 9

x = +/- 3

we take only the positive value because a length can‘t be negative

x = 3

How do you solve 3x-2y=-5 ; 3y-4x=8 for x and y. Explain please.
blagie [28]
3x-2y=-5
3y-4x=8

1) multiply the first equation by 3
   3(3x-2y=-5)   this will give you the new equation: 9x-6y=-15

2) multiply the second equation by 2
   2(3y-4x=8)    this should give you the equation: 6y-8x=16

3) combine both equations/ like terms
    9x-6y=-15
    6y-8x=16

4) -6y and 6y cancel out 
    9x=-15
    -8x=16

5)  9x and -8x combine to make 1x or just x and -15 combined with 16 gives you just 1

6) we are now left with:
    x=1 

7) plug in the x to any of the two original equations ( i chose the first) 
   3x-2y=-5 
   3(1) - 2y = -5
   3 - 2y = -5
   -2y = -8
   y = 4
   When you plug in the x=1 you are given 3(1) - 2y = -5
   Distribute the 3 and you should have 3 - 2y = -5
   Subtract 3 from 3 (this cancels out) then from -5
   This should leave you with -2y = -8 ( -3 and -5 add to -8)
   Divide by -2 ( -2 divided by -2 cancels out) 
   -8 divided by -2 gives you 4 (two negatives make a positive)
   
So, y=4 and x=1
 To check, plug in x=1 and y=4 into one equation. when you're done with that you can plug them into the other. when you plug them into the first equation you get -5=-5 which means they worked. when plugged into the second, the result is 8=8 which means x=1 and y=4 worked for both equations.

Which statements are true regarding the area of circles and sectors? Check all that apply.
AveGali [126]

Answer:

The correct options are a,b.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of sector of a circle equals

Area of a sector = \theta r^{2}

where

\theta is the angle subtended at the center by the sector

r is the radius of circle

This indicates that area of the sector depends on:

1) Radius of circle

2) Angle  subtended at the center by the sector

3) Area of sector does not depend on pi.

Also if we know the area of the sector only  we cannot calculate area of area of whole triangle as we need one more information either angle of the sector and vice versa.
