Similar shapes may or may not be congruent.

The value of x is (a) 9.0

The corresponding sides are:

  • AB and DE
  • BC and EF
  • AC and DF

The side lengths are:

\mathbf{DE = 41}

\mathbf{EF = 23}

\mathbf{DF = 36}

\mathbf{AC = 5x - 9}

Because the shapes are congruent, and AC corresponds to DF.

This means that:

\mathbf{AC = DF}

So, we have:

\mathbf{5x - 9 = 36}

Collect like terms

\mathbf{5x = 9 + 36}

\mathbf{5x = 45}

Divide both sides by 5

\mathbf{x = 9.0}

<em>Hence, the correct option is (a) 9.0</em>

What is a formula for the nth term of the given sequence?
lakkis [162]

Answer: option D is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sequence is a geometric sequence because the consecutive terms differ by a common ratio.

The formula for determining the nth term of a geometric progression is expressed as

an = a1r^(n - 1)

Where

a1 represents the first term of the sequence.

r represents the common ratio.

n represents the number of terms.

From the information given,

a1 = 36

r = 12/36 = 4/12 = 1/3

Therefore, the formula for the nth term of the sequence is

an = 36 × 1/3^(n - 1)

an = 36 × 3^-1(n - 1)

an = 36 × 3^(-n + 1)

an = 36 × 3^(1 - n)

Which values of a and b make this system of equations have infinitely many solutions?
Afina-wow [57]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  a = 3, b = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving the first equation for y, we get ...

  2y +16 = 6x . . . . . given

  y = 8 +3x . . . . . . . divide by 2

  y = 3x -8 . . . . . . . subtract 8

In order for the system of equations to have infinitely many solutions, the second equation must be the same as this:

  y = ax +b

  a = 3, b = -8
