Answer:

SU=25

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up a ratio as STU and SQR are similar because of the SAS similarity theorem.

TQ:SQ

SQ=ST+TQ=10+6=16

6:16=3:8

Therefore the ratio of STU:SQR is 3:8

We can use this to find SU

UR:SR=3:8

15:SR=3:8

Cross multiply

3SR=120

SR=40

SU=SR-UR

SU=40-15

SU=25

Can some answer this math question

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To multiply powers of a variable, add the exponents:

$x^m\cdot x^n = x^{m+n}$

This rule works for all exponents, positive, negative, or zero. Also, remember that $x^0=1$ .

Also, remember the definition of negative exponent: $x^{-n} = \frac{1}{x^n}$

To multiply the two monomials, start by multiplying the coefficients, 14 and 4. That gives 56, so your answer begins with 56.

Now for the powers of x, $(x^3)(x^{-5}) = x^{3+(-5)} =x^{-2} = \frac{1}{x^2}$

For the powers of y, $(y^{-4})(y^4)=y^{4+(-4)} = y^0 = 1$ $(y^{-4})(y^4) = y^{-4+4} = y^0 =1$

Your answer is

$56 \cdot \frac{1}{x^2} \cdot 1 =\frac{56}{x^2}$

Angle θ is in standard position and (−6,−3) is a point on the terminal side of θ. What is the exact value of csc θ in simplest f

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

$\displaystyle \csc\theta=-\frac{\sqrt{5}}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since $\displaystyle \csc\theta=\frac{1}{\sin\theta}=\frac{1}{\frac{\text{Opposite}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}}=\frac{\text{Hypotenuse}}{\text{Opposite}}$ , we need to find the hypotenuse given our corresponding opposite and adjacent lengths of -6 and -3 accounting for Quadrant III:
