Using the principle of parallel lines, the value of x in the given triangle is calculated to be 8

<u>The</u><u> </u><u>smaller</u><u> </u><u>triangle</u><u> </u><u>can be</u><u> </u><u>expressed</u><u> </u><u>as</u><u> </u><u>:</u>

  • Side / base = 6/x ----(1)

<u>The</u><u> </u><u>larger</u><u> </u><u>triangle</u><u> </u><u>can</u><u> </u><u>be</u><u> </u><u>expressed</u><u> </u><u>as</u><u> </u><u>:</u>

  • Side / base
  • Side = 6+9 = 15
  • 15/20 - - - - - (2)

<u>Equating</u><u> </u><u>(</u><u>1</u><u>)</u><u> </u><u>and</u><u> </u><u>(</u><u>2</u><u>)</u><u> </u><u>:</u>

6/x = 15 / 20

15x = 20 × 6

15x = 120

x = 120 / 15

x = 8

Therefore, the value of x in the triangle is 8.

Karolina [17]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Don't worry about the volume to start with. Just look at the area of the top or bottom.

The hole has a 4 inch diameter

d = 4

r = d/2

r = 2

Area = pi r^2

Area = pi * 2^2

Area = 4 pi

Now find the area of the top (or bottom) if the circle was not there.

L = 8

W = 6

Area = L * W

Area = 8 * 6

Area = 48

Now take away the area of the circle.

Area Top = 48 - 4 * pi

Area Top = 48 - 12.56

Area Top = 35.44

Finally, Find the volume

Volume = area of the top * height

Volume = 35.44 * 15

Volume = 531.6

The equation of a line is −2x 5y=−20−2x 5y=−20. what is the x-intercept of the line? enter your answer in the box.
kotegsom [21]
The criteria to find out the x-intercept of the line is we find out the result when
y = 0

- 2x + 5y  = -20
- 2x  + 0   =   -20

x    = -20 / -2
 x   = 10

hope this helps

In the figure, point k is the image of point j under a reflection across line L. Find y
Viktor [21]
Since, <span>point K is the image of point J under a reflection across line L.

The distance, JM = MK

</span>Hence, 2x + 4 = 4x - 6
4x - 2x = 4 + 6
2x = 10
x = 5

Also refrection of a point across a line form an angle of 90 degrees at the point of refrection.
i.e. 3y - 30 = 90
3y = 90 + 30 = 120
y = 120 / 3 = 40

Therefore, the value of y is 40.
