By comparing the right triangle ABC with the triangle XYZ, we will see that:

AC = 5
BC = 10.

<h3>How to find the given segments?</h3>

So we know that the largest triangle is a dilation of scale factor 2 of the smaller one.

Also, remember that for right triangle we have the relation:

Tan(θ) = (opposite cathetus)/(adjacent cathetus).

Now, the problem tells us that:

tan(x) = 5/2.5

For the angle x, the adjacent cathetus is XY, and the opposite cathetus is YZ.

Then we have:

YZ = 5

XY = 2.5

Knowing that the correspondent sides in the larger triangle will be 2 times the above ones, we can see that:

AC = 2*XY = 2*2.5 = 5

CB = 2*YZ = 2*5 = 10

Complete question

mr. whittaker’s science class uses tide gauges to measure annual variations in water levels at different parts of a river, and then compares those variations to the average annual trend. matea recorded that the water level in one part of the river fell 1.05 millimeters per year for 2.48 years. this data will be compared to the average annual trend, which shows the water level rising 1.8 mm/year.

1) Which number represents the rate at which the water level fell?

a. -1.05 mm/year

b. -1.8 mm/year

c. -2.48 years

d. -2.48 mm/year

2) Which number should the rate be multiplied by to find the total variation in water level?

a. 1.05 mm/year

b. 1.8 mm/year

c. 2.48 years

d. 2.48 mm/year

Answer:

1) Which number represents the rate at which the water level fell?

a. -1.05 mm/year

2) Which number should the rate be multiplied by to find the total variation in water level?

c. 2.48 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Variation in the water level is calculated by multiplying the rate at which the water level and number or years at which the rate of the water level fell

From the question, we can see that the rate at which the water level fell is -1.05 mm/year and number of years at which the water level fell is 2.48mm

Hence,Total Variation in the water level is calculated as

-1.05 mm/year × 2.48 years

Total variation in the water level = -2.604mm

Jeff earns $27,800 per year. what is his bi-monthly gross pay

Anarel [89]

Below are the choices that can be found elsewhere:

<span>a. $1,158.33
b. $1,069.23
c. $2,316.66
d. $1,539.22
</span>
Below is the solution:
$27,800 / 12 months = 2,316
$2,316 / 2 since it bi-monthly = $1,158.33

2. The sum of three consecutive integers is 48. What are the three integers?

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer: 15, 16, 17

Step-by-step explanation: you have to divide 48 by 3 when you do this then you get the center number in this case 16 so all you have to do now is add the lower number (15) and the higher number (17) and add and they will equal 48

Find the geometric mean of 16 and 36. Write your answer in simplest form. The geometric mean is

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the geo. mean is the nth root of the product of n numbers

Here there are two numbers; geo. mean is the square root of their product

g = √(16 * 36)

g = 4 * 6

g = 24
