783 - 540 = 243
243/540 = 0.45
0.45 * 100 = 45
45% = increased percentage

Triangles MOP and MNQ are similar. Find x.<br><br> 2<br><br> 3<br><br> 4<br><br> 5

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

MQ : MN = 5:6

MP : MO = 5:6

MQ/MN = 5/6

Hence, MP/MO = 5/6

(5+x)/(6+(18/5)) = 5/6

5+x = (5/6)(48/5)

5+x = 8

x = 3

In triangle XYZ, angle Y = 45º and angle Z = 60º. If XZ = 4, then what is XY?

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

$XY = 4.9$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$XZ= 4$

$\angle Y = 45$

$\angle Z = 60$

Required

Determine the measure of side XY

To do this, we make use of sine law. This is as follows:

$\frac{a}{\sin\ A} = \frac{b}{\sin\ B} = \frac{c}{\sin\ C}$

In this case:

$\frac{4}{\sin(45)} = \frac{XY}{\sin(60)}$

Cross Multiply

$XY * \sin(45) = 4 * \sin(60)$

$XY * 0.7071 = 4 * 0.8660$

Make XY the subject

$XY = \frac{4 * 0.8660}{0.7071}$

$XY = \frac{3.4640}{0.7071}$

$XY = 4.89888276057$

$XY = 4.9$ -- <em>approximated</em>
