6x - 3y = 12
3y = 6x -12
y = 2x -4
slope = 2
Each person will pay $115 because $1,380 divided by 12 is 115
Answer:
a. x = 7
b. x = 36/5
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Points to remember</u>
The ratio of of corresponding sides of similar triangles are equal.
<u>a). To find the value of x</u>
From the figure 1 we get two similar triangles, ΔABC and ADE
We can write,
AB/AD = AC/AE
3/6 = x/(x + 7)
3(x + 7) = 6 * x
3x + 21 = 6x
6x - 3x = 21
3x = 21
x = 21/3 = 7
<u>b). To find the value of x</u>
From the figure b we get
ΔABC ~ ΔEDF
AB/DE = BC/DF
4/5 = x/9
x = (4 * 9)/5 = 36/5
Answer:
c. 2pi/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Took the test and got it right
Step-by-step explanation:
because VW || YZ, the 2 triangles are similar.
this is given by the rules of equal angles of intersecting lines with parallel lines. Z to V and Y to W would be such intersecting lines.
and therefore, the angle at W is the angle at Y, the angle at V is the angle at Z. and therefore both angles at A are equal.
so, for similar triangles the scaling factor between corresponding pairs of sides is the same for all sides.
e.g. the same scaling factor that converts 7.2 to 12, converts then also x to x+4.
7.2 × f = 12
f = 12/7.2 = 12/ 72/10 = 120/72 = 10/6 = 5/3
x × 5/3 = x + 4
5x = 3x + 12
2x = 12
x = 6
A to Y = x = 6
W to A = x + 4 = 6 + 4 = 10
