A triangle has side lengths 8, 7, 4. In a similar triangle the smallest side is represented by x + 5 and the longest side is represented by x - 3. What is the value of x?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

8/4 = (x+5)/(x-3)

cross-multiply:

8(x-3) = 4(x+5)

8x - 24 = 4x + 20

4x  = 44

x = 11

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

X=11

The longest known is double than samallest known

2(x-3) = x+5

2x-6 = x+5

x= 11

                   11-3 = 8

                   11+5 = 16

Sides of the known triangle    8,7,4     (side 8 double than side 4)

Sides of the similar triangle       16,14,8   (side 16 double than side  8 )

A red line and a blue line bus both left the stadium at 4:00 p.m.

Red line buses were scheduled to leave the stadium every 6 minutes.

Blue line buses were scheduled to leave the stadium every 8 minutes.

if the buses run on schedule, when is the next time a red line and a Blue line bus will leave together?

Answers

Answer:

4:24pm

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this question, we need to find the LCM (Lowest common multiple) of 6 and 8 to find out when they will leave at the same time again.

To do this we can either list all the prime factors of each one and multiply the non-common ones:

6 = 2x3

8 = 2x2x2

2x2x3 = 24

OR we can list the multiples and find the lowest matching ones:

6 => 6, 12, 18, 24, 30

8 => 8, 16, 24, 32, 40

We can see that 24 is the least common factor.

This means that both busses will leave at the same time 24 minutes after 4pm.

Therefore the next time a red line and blue line bus will leave together is 4:24pm.

At the candy store, Sophie filled a bag with 2 2/3 kilograms of candy. 1/4 of the weight of the candy was from chocolate covered pretzels. How much did the chocolate covered pretzels in Sophie's bag weigh? ​

Answers

Answer:

The chocolate covered pretzels in Sophie's bag weighed [tex]\frac{2}{3} = 0.6667[/tex] kilograms.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sophie filled a bag with 2 2/3 kilograms of candy.

This means that the total weight is of:

[tex]2\frac{2}{3} = 2 + \frac{2}{3} = \frac{6}{3} + \frac{2}{3} = \frac{8}{3}[/tex]

The total weight is of 8/3 kilograms.

1/4 of the weight of the candy was from chocolate covered pretzels. How much did the chocolate covered pretzels in Sophie's bag weigh?

1/4 of 8/3. So

[tex]\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{8}{3} = \frac{1*8}{4*3} = \frac{2}{3} = 0.6667[/tex]

The chocolate covered pretzels in Sophie's bag weighed [tex]\frac{2}{3} = 0.6667[/tex] kilograms.

Find the point on the line 6x + y = 8 that is closest to the point
(−5, 2).

(x, y) =​

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (x, y) = (31/37, 2 36/37) ≈ (0.8378, 2.9730)

Step-by-step explanation:

There are several ways we can go at this.

Method 1

Find the point of intersection with the perpendicular line through (-5, 2).

The perpendicular line will have the x- and y-coefficients swapped, one of them negated, and a new constant consistent with the given point.

  x -6y = (-5) -6(2) = -17

So, we're looking for the solution of the system of equations ...

6x +y = 8x -6y = -17

Using Cramer's Rule, we can find the solution to be ...

  x = ((1)(-17) -(-6)(8))/((1)(1) -(-6)(6)) = 31/37 ≈ 0.837_837*

  y = ((8)(1)-(-17)(6))/37 = 110/37 ≈ 2.972_972

The closest point is (x, y) = (31/37, 2 36/37).

__

Method 2

We can write the given line in parametric form, then find the point on it such that the direction along the line is perpendicular to the direction to the given point.

Solving the given equation for y, we have ...

  y = 8 -6x

So, the parametric form of the given line can be written as ...

  (x, y) = (0, 8) +t(1, -6) . . . . for some parameter t

The direction to the given point from (x, y) is then ...

  (-5, 2) -(x, y) = (-5, 2) -((0, 8) +t(1, -6)) = (-5-0-t, 2-8+6t) = (-t-5, 6t-6)

The dot-product of this direction vector with the direction vector of the original line will be zero for the value of the parameter at the closest point.

  (1, -6) · (-t-5, 6t-6) = 0 = (1)(-t -5) +(-6)(6t -6)

  0 = -t -5 -36t +36 = -37t +31

  31/37 = t

So, filling this value into the parametric equation gives the closest point as ...

  (0, 8) +(31/37)(1, -6) = (31/37, 2 36/37) = (x, y)

__

Method 3

Find the point of tangency of the given line with a circle centered at (-5, 2).

The equation of a circle centered at (-5, 2) is ...

  (x +5)^2 +(y -2)^2 = r^2

The given line will meet the circle at a point that satisfies this equation and the equation of the circle. Writing an expression for y using the given line, we can substitute into the circle equation to get ...

  (x +5)^ +((8 -6x) -2)^2 = r^2

  x^2 +10x +25 +36 -72x +36x^2 = r^2

  37x^2 -62x + (some constant) = 0

This will have one solution when the constant is chosen to make the left-side expression a perfect square. That perfect square will be ...

  37(x -31/37)^2 = 0

which is to say the tangent point of the line and the circle will have x-coordinate x = 31/37. The y-coordinate is 8 -6(31/37) = 2 36/37.

The closest point is (x, y) = (31/37, 2 36/37).

ABCD m angle ACD=2x+4 and m angle ACB=5x-5 . For what value of ABCD rhombus?


Please help quick ! This is a timed test

Answers

Answer:

I don't have a picture but since it is a rhombus, I'll give it my best shot.

IF those two angles are across from each other, they are equal, then:

2x+4 = 5x-5

add 5 to each side of the equation:

2x+9 = 5x

subtract 2x from each side:

3x = 9

divide both sides by 3:

x = 3

IF those two angles are adjacent, their sum is 180°, then:

2x+4 + 5x-5 = 180°

combine like terms:

7x - 1 = 180

add 1 to each side of the equation:

7x = 181

divide both sides by 7:

x = 25.86

Answers

Answer:

86,405 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

V = cross-sectional area × height = πr²h = 3.142 × 5² × 1100cm

= 86,405 cm³

Answer:

863.9 m³

Step-by-step explanation:

Cylinder volume is V = πr²h.  Here the height, h, is 11 m and the radius, r, is 5 m.  Thus we have:

V = π(5 m)²(11 m), or

V = π(275) m³, or approximately 863.9 m³

In PES, monochromatic light is directed onto a sample, causing electrons to be emitted. The kinetic energy of the emitted electrons is measured. The difference between the energy of the photons and the kinetic energy of the electrons corresponds to the energy needed to remove the electrons (that is, the ionization energy).
