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

Line p has a slope of 6/7. Line q is perpendicular to p . What is the slope of line q
Serjik [45]

Answer:

The slope of line q is -7/6

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of a perpendicular line, you need to find the opposite reciprocal. So, flip the fraction (7/6) and then take the opposite, (-7/6).

Hope this helps!

PLEASE HELP ME FAST! IF GIVEN GOOD ANSWERS WILL MARK AS BRAINLIEST!
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Given that the local ice cream shop is deciding whether or not to hire a new worker. The shop must pay the worker hourly and cover a daily cost for insurance. The cost to pay an hourly worker for one day is represented by the function y=10x+30 where x=hours.

We find that this is of the form y = mx + B where

m = 10 and B = 30

Hence slope = m = 10

Answer is 10,

and it represents the rate of change of y for a unit change in x.

2. The answer is the third option "No; the data doesn't suggest a causation, and many people are healthy who don't exercise." Correlation is two data set that are linked or connected together so in this case it would be a correlation because all of the data is close and connected to each other.

3. The answer is "Correlation, because time of day doesn't cause a person to run faster or slower ".

That's the correct answer because causation would mean there is a cause and effect and in the question, there is no cause. It can't be the last one because there is enough information. It also can't be the third one because there is a relationship since he shown he runs faster in the evening. Also I took the test and it was right!

What is the sum 2, 3, 4, and 5?
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the sum of these numbers by adding them together.

The cumulative rule of addition lets us add numbers together in any order we want.

So, for 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 …

2 + 3 = 5

So now we have 5 + 4 + 5

5 + 4 = 9

Now we have 9 + 5

And 9 + 5 = 14

So, your answer is 14

Hope this helps!
