Answer:

W=16 2/3

L=28 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

L=2W-5

80=2W+2L

80=2W+2(2W-5)

80=2W+4W-20

80=6W-20

100=6W

W=16 2/3

L=2(16 2/3)-5

L=33 1/3 -5

L=28 1/3

if you draw two right triangles using the line as the hypotenuse, do the triangles have to be similar? Why or why not?

diamong [38]

Answer:

All the right triangles will be similar.

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attached diagram.

Let us assume any two right triangles are drawn on the line OP, and AB and A'B' as the hypotenuse on the same line OP.

Since the slope of the line OP is constant and assume that it makes x° with the positive x-axis.

Hence, $\tan x = \frac{AC}{BC} = \frac{A'C'}{B'C'}$

⇒ $\frac{AC}{A'C'} = \frac{BC}{B'C'}$

Therefore, the sides of the two right triangles are in the same ratio and hence, Δ ABC and Δ A'B'C' are similar.

Hence, all the right triangles will be similar. (Answer)

Which of the coordinates listed below could represent a point found on the line 3x?

Kamila [148]

Well.. You seem to have forgotten to add the coordinates...

Anyway, the line is represented by the function f(x) = 3x .

Any point which follows the form (x,3x) will be on the line

for example (-3,-9) ; (-2,-6) ; (-1,-3) ; (0,0) ; (0.333333,1) ; (1, 3) ; (2,6) ; (3,9) ; and so on....

What is the solution of 3+ X-2/x-3 less than or equal to 4

Archy [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3+ $3+\frac{x-2}{x-3} \leq 4\\\\\frac{x-2}{x-3} \leq 4-3\\\frac{x-3+1}{x-3} \leq 1\\1+\frac{1}{x-3} \leq 1\\\frac{1}{x-3} \leq 0\\x-3 \leq 0\\x\leq 3$

What is the value of y that satisfies the equation of y/3 - 9 = 12? a. 3 b. 9 c. 21 d. 63

ozzi

It's the answer D (63) since 63/3 = 21 and then 21-9 = 12
