Answer:

The, value x for the give problem is 20 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider triangle ABC,

Now, from the attached figure

Given that

PQ || AB

CP = 8units

PA = 6 units

CQ = x = ? units.

QB = 15 units

We know that

By Basic Proportionality Theorem,

CP / PA = CQ / QB

On substituting these values in the above formula

⇛ (8) / (6) = (x) / (15)

On applying cross multiplication then

⇛ 8(15) = x(6)

⇛ 120 = 6x

⇛ x = 120÷6

⇛ x = 120/6

Therefore, x = 20 units.

<u>Answer</u>: Hence, value of x is 20 units.

<u>Additional comment:</u>

Basic Proportionality Theorem

" A line drawn parallel to the one side of a triangle intersecting other two sides at two different points, then the line divides the other two sides in the same ratio"

Which relations are functions?

guapka [62]

Answer:

The 1st and 2nd graph are functions while the 3rd and 4th aren't.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first and second graph doesn't have more than one output for each input. The third and fourth graph isn't a function since there's more than one output for the same input given. If you do the vertical line test, then you'll know which one is a function and which one is not a function. Hope this helps :)

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

A) There is a strong relationship showing that as the number of days increases, the height of the plants increases.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the correlation coefficient of 0.85 is very close to 1, there's going to be a strong, positive linear correlation between the two variables. Therefore, option A is correct.

How many cookies could you make with four cups of flour

lina2011 [118]

Hi there!

Usually, the amount of flour varies between different cookie recipe's, but if you're going to make the normal chocolate chip cookie, into a batch of 60, you'd need 4 cups of flour.

So, 4 cups of flour would make your 60 chocolate chip cookies.

Hope this helps! :D
