Answer:

x = 57.6

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the segment on the right is 30/25 = 1.2 times the length of the segment on the left.

x = 1.2 × 48 = 57.6

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

Parallel lines cut transversals proportionally. That is why 30/25 = x/48.

Find all constants a such that the vectors (a, 4) and (2, 5) are parallel.

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

$\displaystyle a = \frac{8}{5}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Two vectors $(x_1,\, y_1)$ and $(x_2,\, y_2)$ are parallel to one another if and only if the ratio between their corresponding components are equal:

$\displaystyle \frac{x_1}{x_2} = \frac{y_1}{y_2}$ .

Equivalently:

$\displaystyle \frac{x_1}{y_1} = \frac{x_2}{y_2}$ .

For the two vectors in this equation to be parallel to one another:

$\displaystyle \frac{a}{4} = \frac{2}{5}$ .

Solve for $a$ :

$\displaystyle a = \frac{8}{5}$ .

$\displaystyle \frac{8}{5}$ would be the only valid value of $a$ ; no other value would satisfy the $\displaystyle \frac{x_1}{y_1} = \frac{x_2}{y_2}$ equation.
