The problem ask to calculate the corresponding distance on the new patio where as the the patio will have two long parallel side and an area of 360 square feet and the area of the similar patio is 250 square feet and its long parallel sides are 12.5 feet apart. To calculate this the ratio of the distance of the two polygon is P:Q so it means that the are is also P^2:Q^2 so the ratio of the area is 36:25 so the the distance of the new patio is 18 feet
Answer:
Solutions are -10 and 26
Step-by-step explanation:
( - the abolute sign I'm using
( x - 8 ) + 2 = 20
( x - 8 ) = 18
x - 8 = 18 (postive case)
x - 8 + 8 = 18 + 8
x = 26
( x - 8 ) = 18
x - 8 = -18 (negative case)
x - 8 + 8 = -18 + 8
x = -10
P^2 could also have -4 as an answer. Any time a number is squared, it is positive
<h3>Answer:</h3>
A) ∠A = ∠A' = 38° and ∠B = ∠B' = 42°
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
The sum of angles in ∆ABC is 180°, so ...
... (2x -2) + (2x +2) + (5x) = 180
... 9x = 180
... x = 20
and the angles of ∆ABC are ∠A = 38°, ∠B = 42°, ∠C = 100°.
___
The sum of angles of ∆A'B'C' is 180°, so ...
... (58 -x) +(3x -18) +(120 -x) = 180
... x +160 = 180
... x = 20
and ∠A' = 38°, ∠B' = 42°, ∠C' = 100°.
_____
The values of angle measures of ∆ABC match those of ∆A'B'C', so we can conclude ...
... A) ∠A = ∠A' = 38° and ∠B = ∠B' = 42°
