Find x and y in the figure​

Mathematics

Grace [21]3 years ago

Answer:

x=10, y=25

Step-by-step explanation:

First, in a trapezoid, the two angles on the same leg (the legs are the opposite sides that are not parallel) add up to 180 degrees. Therefore, 4y as well as (2y+3x) are supplementary. We can write this out as

4y + (2y+3x) = 180

6y+3x = 180

Next, the angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees. Therefore, as the angles 2y, 4y, and (5x-20) make up a triangle, they add up to 180 degrees. We can write this as

4y + 2y + (5x-20) = 180

6y + 5x -20  =180

Our two equations are thus

6y + 5x - 20 = 180

6y + 3x = 180

If we subtract 6y from both sides in each equation, we can say

5x - 20 = 180-6y

3x = 180-6y

Therefore, we can write

5x-20 = 180-5y = 3x

5x-20=3x

subtract 3x from both sides to make all x variables on the same side

2x-20 = 0

add 20 to both sides to isolate the x and its coefficient

2x = 20

divide both sides by 2 to isolate x

x = 10

Therefore,

x = 10

6y + 3x = 180

6y + 30 = 180

subtract 30 from both sides to isolate the y and its coefficient

6y = 150

y = 25

The canl's water level is now 10.875 below sea level
because 2 1/4 or 2.25 +7=9.25 and 13/8 or 1.625+9.25=10.875

Write a series of rigid motions that transform pentagon ABCDE to pentagon A′B′C′D′E′
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

We need the following three rigid motions:

i) Reflection around y-axis, ii) Translation three units in the -y direction, iii) Translation four units in the -x direction.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to perform three operations on pentagon ABCDE to create pentagon A'B'C'D'E':

i) Reflection around y-axis:

(x',y') = (-x,y) (Eq. 1)

ii) Translation three units in the -y direction:

(x'',y'') = (x', y'-3) (Eq. 2)

iii) Translation four units in the -x direction:

(x''',y''') = (x''-4, y'') (Eq. 3)

We proceed to proof the effectiveness of operations defined above by testing point D:

1) D(x,y) = (-1, 4) Given.

2) (x',y') = (1,4) By (Eq. 1)

3) (x'',y'') = (1, 1) By (Eq. 2)

4) D'(x,y) = (-3,1) By (Eq. 3)/Result
