Answer: x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Because we are given that the two figures are already similar, we can set up a proportional relationship to determine the value of x. Since the larger rectangle has a width of 21 and the smaller rectangle has a width of 7, those values can be used as the numerators in the proportion. Since the larger rectangle's length is x plus the additional 3 units on the smaller rectangle, x+3 and 3 can be used as the denominators in the proportion.

Next, we set up the proportion as follows:

\frac{21}{x+3} =\frac{7}{3}

Then, you cross multiply to get the equation:

63=7x+21

After solving down algebraically, you get the value of x to be 6.

I hope this helps!

The third point of the triangle is (1,0)
using pythagoras, the value of a is 2, b is 3. 2^2 +3^2 = 13.
Therefore the distance between the two points is \sqrt{13}

The table shows a proportional relationship between the number of stars Roberto collects in a game and his total points. A row o
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

1) 20 stars; 30 points.

2) 28 stars, 42 points.

3) 38 stars, 57 points.

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3> The missing table is attached.</h3>

Let  be "x" the numbers of stars Roberto collects and "y" his total points.

The proportional relationship has this form:

y=kx

Where "k" is the constant of proportionality.

We can choose the point (8,12) from the table, where:

x=8\\y=12

Substituting these values into  y=kx and solving for "k", we get:

 12=k(8)\\\\\frac{12}{8}=k\\\\k=1.5

Knowing the value of "k", we determine that the  following Numbers of stars and the Total points could be used as the missing values in the table:

1) For x=20 :

y=(1.5)(20)=30

2) For x=28 :

y=(1.5)(28)=42

3) For x=38 :

y=(1.5)(38)=57

Find the missing lengths of the sides
dusya [7]

Answer:

a=9, c=19

Step-by-step explanation:

Aight so basically in 30, 60, 90 triangles there is a formula for the sides

the hypotenuse(the longest side)=2a

The tiny side (the smallest side)=a

and the middle child =a\sqrt{3}

Based on that we see that a is 9

and since c=2a then it's 18
