Answer:

x = 90

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are in proportion, that is

$\frac{BC}{NE}$ = $\frac{AB}{TN}$ , substitute values

$\frac{3}{27}$ = $\frac{10}{x}$ ( cross- multiply )

3x = 270 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 90

Solve for n:<br> (n+4)/10 = (n-8)/2

nalin [4]

Answer:

n=11

Step-by-step explanation:

(n+4)/10 = (n-8)/2

We can solve using cross products

(n+4) * 2 = 10 * ( n-8)

Distribute

2n+8 = 10n -80

Subtract 2n from each side

2n+8-2n = 10n-80-2n

8 = 8n-80

Add 80 to each side

8+80= 8n-80+80

88 = 8n

Divide each side by 8

88/8 = 8n/8

11 = n

Jenn wants to measure the height of a tree. She walks exactly 125 feet from the base of the

nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

$81.2\:\mathrm{ft}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can form a right triangle and use basic trig for a right triangle to solve this problem:

$\tan33^{\circ}=\frac{h}{125}$ , where $h$ is the height of the tree.

Solving, we get:

$h=125\cdot \tan 33^{\circ},\\h\approx \fbox{$81.2\:\mathrm{ft}$}$ .

A line passes through the point (9. -9) and has a slope of -4/3.

professor190 [17]

Answer:

$y = \frac{ - 4}{3} x + 3$

Step-by-step explanation:

$using \: point \: slope \: form \\ y - y1 = m(x - x1) \\ y + 9= \frac{ - 4}{3} (x - 9) \\ y + 9= \frac{ - 4}{3}x + 12\\ y = \frac{ - 4}{3} x + 3$

The length of a rectangle is 11 in. longer than its width. the perimeter of the rectangle is 86 in.write and solve an equation t

Tcecarenko [31]

I hope this helps you

width w

length w+11

perimeter =2 (width +length )

86=2 (w+w+11)

43=2w+11

32=2w

w=16

length = w+11=16+11=27
