Answer:

Hello!

After reviewing the problem you have provided I have come up with the correct solution:

x= 9

Step-by-step explanation:

To come up with this solution you have to first realize that the smaller triangle is a proportionally scaled down version of the entire larger triangle! (I will show what I mean in a linked picture)

So after we have realized that the smaller triangle is a scaled down version of the larger one, we can then create a formula or ratio to calculate the value of the missing side of the larger triangle (being x+6=??).

To create the formula/ratio I divided 10inches by 4inches. Thus the larger triangle is 2.5 times larger than the smaller one.

I then use this ratio to figure out the missing length of the larger triangle by doing:

6inches x 2.5 = 15inches.

I then inputed the 15inches into the formula of the missing side:

x+6=15

Subtracted 6 from both sides to simplify, and came up with the solution!

x=9

Let me know if this helps!

What’s the correct answer for this?

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of circles is

(x-a)²+(y-b)²=r²

Where

Center = (a,b) = (-6,-3) and r = 12

Now

The equation becomes

(x+6)²+(x+3)²=144

Answer: Experimental probability

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two kinds of probability: Theoretical probability and Experimental probability.

To calculate theoretical probability we divide favorable outcomes by total outcomes.

To calculate experimental probability we divide number of times an event occurs by the total number of trials or times the activity is performed.

Here, A child gets 20 heads out of 30 tosses of a coin. If he declared the chance of getting a head with that coin were 2/3, which is dependent on the activity he performed, thus it is an experimental probability.

The 1st graph has vertex in (-3, -3) which can be translated into
Horizontal shift left 3
Vertical shift down 3
Other than that, the graph shows y=x^2 so it wasn't compressed or stretched

The 2nd graph has vertex in (0, 0) which mean there is no vertical and horizontal shift. But the graph is facing down and it was slimmer than y=x^2 graph. When x=1, the result is y=3 which was 3 times more than it supposed to be.
The graph must be:
Reflection across x-axis
Vertical stretch of 3

The 3rd graph has vertex in (3, -3) which can be translated into
Horizontal shift right 3
Vertical shift down 3
Same as the 1st graph, the 3rd graph shows y=x^2 so it wasn't compressed or stretched.
