Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Since parallel lines cut the transversals proportionally, we can set the following equation and solve for x;

72/9 = 56/(3x - 20)
8 = 56/(3x - 20)
3x - 20 = 56/8
3x - 20 = 7
3x = 27
x = 9

Answer:

x = 9 cm

create proportional equation:

$\sf \dfrac{9}{3x-20} = \dfrac{72+9}{3x-20+56}$

$\sf \dfrac{9}{3x-20} = \dfrac{81}{3x+36}$

$\sf 9(3x+36) = 81(3x-20)$

$\sf 27x+324 = 243x-1620$

$\sf 27x-243x=-1620-324$

$\sf -216x=-1944$

$\sf x = 9$

How can the Pythagorean Identity be used to find sin θ, cos θ, or tan θ and the quadrant location of the angle?

Archy [21]

First lets see the pythagorean identities

$sin^2 \Theta + cos^2 \Theta =1$

So if we have to solve for sin theta , first we move cos theta to left side and then take square root to both sides, that is

$sin^2 \Theta = 1-cos^2 \Theta => sin \theta = \pm \sqrt{1-cos^2 \Theta}$

Now we need to check the sign of sin theta

First we have to remember the sign of sin, cos , tan in the quadrants. In first quadrant , all are positive. In second quadrant, only sin and cosine are positive. In third quadrant , only tan and cot are positive and in the last quadrant , only cos and sec are positive.

So if theta is in second quadrant, then we have to positive sign but if theta is in third or fourth quadrant, then we have to use negative sign .

If Javier has a car with a mass of 250,000 kg and it is acted upon with a force of 300 Newtons. What is the acceleration?

natima [27]

Answer:

<u>The acceleration is 0.0012 meters/seconds²</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to answer the question correctly:

Mass = 250,000 kg

Force = 300 Newtons

2. What is the acceleration?

Based on Newton's Second Law of Motion, let's recall that:

Force = Mass * Acceleration

Acceleration = Force/Mass

Replacing with the real values, we have:

Acceleration = 300/250,0000

Acceleration = 0.0012 meters/seconds² (we can't express acceleration using Newtons/kilograms as the unit).
