What are the values of x and y?

Mathematics

tresset_1 [31]2 years ago
6 0

Step-by-step explanation:

y is easy.

it is the Hypotenuse (baseline) of the small right-angled triangle created by the height (8) of the main triangle, the segment 6 of the main Hypotenuse and y.

so, Pythagoras :

y² = 8² + 6² = 64 + 36 = 100

y = 10

x is a bit more complex.

I think the easiest way to get it is to know that the height of a right-angled triangle to the Hypotenuse is the square root of the product of both segments of the Hypotenuse.

so, if we call the segments of the Hypotenuse a and b with a = 6, we have

x = a + b = 6 + b

height (8) = sqrt(a×b) = sqrt(6b)

therefore,

6b = height² = 8² = 64

b = 64/6 = 32/3 = 10 2/3 = 10.66666666...

so,

x = 6 + 10.66666... = 16.666666666...

round it to what is needed. e.g. 2 positions after the decimal point (hundredths) ? then it would be 10.67

Mademuasel [1]
\frac{x}{5}= \frac{2}{3}  = \frac{5}{y}
Break the equation into parts;
\frac{x}{5} = \frac{2}{3} ;  \frac{2}{3}= \frac{5}{y}
Solving for x;
\frac{x}{5} = \frac{2}{3}
x=\frac{10}{3}
Solving for y;
\frac{2}{3} = \frac{5}{y} &#10;y= \frac{3*5}{2} &#10;y= \frac{15}{2}
\frac{x}{y} = \frac{10/3}{15/2}
\frac{x}{y} = \frac{4}{15}

What is the solution to the proportion x\45 = 8/18 a.x =16 b.x =20 c.x =35 d.x =101.25
exis [7]
<span>Give the solution proportion of the given number
=> x : 45 = 8 : 18
=> Let’s start solving the proportion
=> 45 * 8 = 360
=> 360 / 18 =20
Thus the answer is letter B. X = 20
let’s check if we have correct answer
=> 20 * 18 = 360
=> 360 / 45 = 8
=> 20 * 18 = 360
=> 360 / 8 = 45
Thus, we have the same answer.
