Answers:

  • ST = x = 5
  • RT = y = 4
  • angle R = 88 degrees

============================================================

Explanation:

I'm assuming side PQ is parallel to side RT. If so, then triangle PQS is similar to triangle TRS.

From that, we can form the proportion below to solve for x.

PT/TS = QR/RS

15/x = 9/3

15*3 = x*9

45 = 9x

9x = 45

x = 45/9

x = 5

So ST is 5 units long.

The jump from ST = 5 to PT = 15 is "times 3". The same goes from RS = 3 to QR = 9.

We move in reverse to go from PQ = 12 to RT = y = 4, i.e. we divide by 3 to go from the larger triangle's lengths to the smaller triangle's lengths.

---------------------

Since PQ is parallel to RT, this means angles Q and R are congruent. They are corresponding angles. Angle Q is 88, and so is angle R.

Side note: Similar triangles have congruent corresponding angles.

What is the answer to 2b + 8- 5b + 3 = -13 + 8b - 5
Alborosie

Answer:

2 8/11 = b

Step-by-step explanation:

2b + 8 - 5b + 3 = -13 + 8b - 5

combine like terms

11 - 3b = -18 + 8b

add 3b

11 = -18 + 11b

add 18

29 = 11b

divide by 11

2 8/11 = b

The sum of two numbers is 22. the difference is 6 what are the two numbers?
Nataly [62]

Answer:

8,14

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one number = x

Other number = 22-x

x - (22-x) = 6

x - 22 +x =6

2x = 6 + 22

2x = 28

x = 28/2

x = 14

Other number = 22 - 14 =8

Area parlalelogram=base times height
areatrapizod=(1/2)(base1+base2) times height
areatriangle=1/2 times base times height



1. area=(1/2)(5.9+16.3) times 4.6=51.06
first option

2. area=1/2 times 20.3 times 6.2=62.93
2nd option

3. area=5 and 1/4 times 3=15.75 or 15 and 3/4 or
4th option


4., area=1/2 times 14 times 5.5=38.5
3rd option


5. area= 5.2 times 2.3=11.96
4th option
