Proportions in similar triangles. need help

Mathematics
1 answer:
erik [133]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

  x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle bisector divides the triangle sides proportionally:

  (6x -1)/42 = (10x +5)/78

  13(6x -1) = 7(10x +5) . . . . multiply by 546 (the LCM of 42 and 78)

  78x -13 = 70x +35 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  8x = 48 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 13-70x

  x = 6 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 8

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The unknown segment lengths are ...

  6·6 -1 = 35

  10·6 +5 = 65

Then the ratios to the known sides are ...

  35/42 = 65/78 = 5/6

Which of the following numbers is not a perfect square?<br><br> 24<br> 25<br> 64<br> 100
stich3 [128]
Hi! 

A perfect square is the product of when a whole number is multiplied by itself

Ex:

6 × 6 = 36, 36 is the perfect square. 

The number that is being multiplied is the square root. 

So to find the correct answer for this question, let's use the process of elimination. 

100 = 10 × 10 so we can cross out 100

64 = 8 × 8 so we can cross out 64

25 = 5 × 5 so we can cross out 25

Now all we have left is 24, which is not a perfect square. 

Answer: A. 24

Hope this helps :)

What is 4 over 8+ 2 over 8+ 2 over 4?
Lostsunrise [7]
You need LCD or the least common denominator. For 4 over 8 and 2 over 8 have the same denominators except for 2 over 4. You need to ask yourself what times 4 equals to 8? 4 times 2 equals to 8, so multiply 4x2 for the denominator and for the numerator multiply 2x2. Whatever you do to the denominator you have to do the same thing to the numerator. You multiplied 4x2 for the denominator and 2x2 for the numerator and now your fraction is 4 over 8. Now add 4 over 8+ 4 over 8 which is 8 over 8 or 1. Now add 1+ 2 over 8 which is 1 2/8. If you simplify 1 2/8 it will become 1 1/4.

Hope that helped:D
