\longmapstoThe value of "x" is 5.

\large\underline{\sf{Solution-}}

Given that,

A trapezium ABCD in which AB || CD such that

  • AO = x - 1

  • CO = BO = x + 1

  • OD = x + 4

Now,

\rm In \: \triangle  \: AOB  \: and \: \triangle \:  COD

\rm  \: \angle  \: AOB  \: and \: \angle \:  COD \:  \:  \{vertically \: opposite \: angles \}

\rm  \: \angle  \:ABO  \: and \: \angle \:  CDO \:  \:  \{alternate \: interior \: angles \}

\bf \: \triangle  \: AOB \:  \sim \:  \triangle  \: COD \:  \:  \:  \{AA \: similarity \}

\bf\longmapsto\:\dfrac{AO}{CO}  = \dfrac{BO}{DO}

\rm \longmapsto\:\dfrac{x - 1}{x + 1}  = \dfrac{x + 1}{x + 4}

\rm \longmapsto\:(x - 1)(x + 4) =  {(x + 1)}^{2}

\rm \longmapsto\: {x}^{2} - x + 4x - 4 =  {x}^{2} + 1 + 2x

\rm \longmapsto\: 3x - 4 =  1 + 2x

\rm \longmapsto\: 3x  -  2x=  1 +4

\bf\longmapsto \:x = 5

Simon pays $9 for 6 visits to swim at the community pool. He pays $18 for 12 visits to swim. How much does it cost for each visi
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

$1.50

Step-by-step explanation:

If you do cost per quantity you would get $9 over 6 visits. Then you divide both sides by 6 because to get to one by 6 it's 6 so when you divide both sides by 6 you would get 1.5 over 1 and all you do is add a zero because you're dealing with money

Hope this helps :)

A test consists of 100 multiple choice questions, each with five possible answers, only one of which is correct. Find the mean a
TEA [102]

Answer:  Mean = 20 and standard deviation = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represents the success of getting the correct answer.

Here, the total number of trials(n) = 100

The probability of getting the correct answer, p = 1/5

Thus, the mean of the number of correct answer,

\mu_x= np

\mu_x= 100\times 1/5

\mu_x= 20

Now, the standard deviation, \sigma_x= \sqrt{n\times p\times (1-p)}

\sigma_x= \sqrt{100\times 1/5\times 4/5}

\sigma_x= \sqrt{16}

\sigma_x= 4

Thus, First option is correct.
