Using the similar triangles below, solve for x !​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Vaselesa [24]2 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remarks.

This can be solved as a proportion. A proportion is 2 ratios making a total of 4 parts. If we know 3 of the parts, we can solve for the 4th.

63/(8x - 2) = 49 /42

Notice that the given parts of the top triangle are the numerators of the ratios. The 2 parts of the bottom triangle are the denominators of the proportions

Proportion

63/(8x - 2) = 49 /42

Solution

63/(8x - 2) = 49 /42                        Cross Multiply

(8x - 2)*49 = 63 * 42                       Combine the right.

(8x - 2)*49 = 2646                           Divide by 49

8x - 2 = 54                                        Add 2 to both sides

8x -2+2=54+2                                   Combine

8x = 56                                              Divide by 8

8x/8 = 56/8                                        

Answer: x = 7

In ΔUVW, the measure of ∠W=90°, UV = 6.2 feet, and WU = 1.2 feet. Find the measure of ∠V to the nearest tenth of a degree.
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

m<V = 11.2 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

In ΔUVW, the measure of ∠W=90°, UV = 6.2 feet, and WU = 1.2 feet.

From the triangle;

UV = hypotenuse = 6.2feet

WU = opposite = 1.2feet

Required

m<V

Using the SOH CAH TOA identity

sin m<V = opp/hyp

sin m<V = WU/UV

sin m<V = 1.2/6.2

sin m<V = 0.1936

m<V = arcsin(0.1936)

m<V = 11.16

m<V = 11.2 degrees ((to the nearest tenth of a degree)

The sizes of two matrices A and B are given. Find the sizes of the product AB and the product BA, if the products are defined. A
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

AB: size 4 x 4

BA: size 2 x 2

Step-by-step explanation:

When we want to multiply two matrices, we need first to check if the number of columns of the first matrix is equal the number of rows of the second matrix. Then, the resulting matrix would have the number of rows equal the number of rows of the first matrix, and the number of columns equal the number of columns of the second matrix.

That is, if we have a matrix A with dimensions a x b and a matrix B with dimensions c x d, to calculate the product AB we must have b = c, and the resulting product would have dimensions a x d.

Finally, if A is 4 x 2 and B is 2 x 4, we would have:

AB = (4 x 2) (2 x 4)

2 = 2 -> product is possible.

Dimensions of the result: 4 x 4

BA = (2 x 4) (4 x 2)

4 = 4 -> product is possible.

Dimensions of the result: 2 x 2

I need help with this slope question grade 10 math
Bingel [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

a) D=(-1,5) E=(-3,1)

b) you do it by adding B coordinates with each other and C coordinates with each other then comparing how its related to D coordinates and E coordinates. B=2+6=8

C= -2-2= -4 D= -1+5= -4 E=-3+1= -2.

or tou can try another method which is knowing the length of each line.
