Solve for x and y

Mathematics
1 answer:
bekas [8.4K]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

x = 2√2

y = 2√6

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the ratio of the two legs of the two smaller interior right triangles. (refer to attached diagrams for the triangles - I have outlined one in blue and the other in red)

These will be equal since the triangles are similar

shorter leg : longer leg

(blue triangle = red triangle)

⇒ x : 4 = 2 : x

⇒ x/4 = 2/x

⇒ x² = 8

⇒ x = √8

⇒ x = 2√2

Now we have x, we have the two legs of the right triangle with hypotenuse labelled y.

Using Pythagoras' Theorem a² + b² = c² (where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse)

⇒ 4² + (2√2)² = y²

⇒ y² = 24

⇒ y = √24

⇒ y = 2√6

11 pounds 13 ounces = ounces
lawyer [7]
1 pound = 16 ounces so let's go ahead and convert 11 pounds to ounces by multiplying by 16. 11×16=176 and then add 13 to that 176+13=189

so 12 pounds and 13 ounces= 189 ounces

Find the area of the shaded region.
taurus [48]

Answer:

426.96 \:  {km}^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the shaded region = Area of triangle with base 40 km and height 27 km - Area of circle with radius (12/2) 6 km.

=  \frac{1}{2}  \times 40 \times 27  - 3.14 \times  {(6)}^{2}  \\  \\  = 20 \times 27 - 3.14 \times 36 \\  \\  = 540 - 113.04 \\ \\   = 426.96 \:  {km}^{2}
