The polygon in each pair are similar. Find the missing side length

Answers

Answer:

45 / 27 = 30 / 18 = x / 24

x = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

The question here states that the two polygons are similar

Polygons that are similar have similar side length ratios.

If we want to find a side length we must create a proportional relationship

We are already given a partial proportional relationship.

Which is...

45 / __ = __ / 18 = x / __

First let's fill in the blanks

The side that is corresponding to the side with a length of 45 has a length of 27. So it would be 45/27

The side that is corresponding to the side with a length of 18 has a length of 30. So it would be 30/18

The side corresponding to side labeled "x" has a length of 24. so it would be x/24

So we would have

45 / 27 = 30 / 18 = x / 24

Now let's find x

We only need 2 ratios ( the one including x of course, and the other one can either be 30/18 or 45/27)

30 / 18 = x / 24

Now let's solve for x

Cross multiply

30*24=720

18*x=18x

We now have 18x = 720

Divide both sides by 18

18x / 18 = x

720 / 18 = 40

x = 40

To check our answers we can see if the ratios are similar

If they are then we are correct

45/27 = 1.66

30/18 =1.66

40/24 = 1.66

They are all equivalent meaning that our answers are correct

If Tan A=5/12 then find cot A, cos A and Sin A

Answers

Cot A=1/tan A=12/5

cos A= 12/13

sin A=5/13

Draw a right angled triangle

the hypotenuse is the longest side which is 13 using Pythagoras theorem

the side opposite the angle A is 5

the side closest to the angle A which is called the adjacent is 12

sinA =opp/hyp

cos A= adj/hyp

cotA =1/tanA=cos A/sinA

Note: Pythagoras theorem is

hyp²=opp²+adj²

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]tan \ A = \frac{5}{12}=\frac{opposite \ site}{adjacent \ side}[/tex]

hypotenuse² = (opposite side)² + (adjacent side)²

                      =  5² + 12²

                      = 25 + 144

                      = 169

hypotenuse = √169 = √13*13 = 13

[tex]Cot \ A = \frac{adjacent \ side}{opposite \ side}=\frac{12}{5}\\\\Cos \ A = \frac{adjacent \ side}{hypotenuse}=\frac{12}{13}\\\\Sin \ A = \frac{opposite \ side}{hypotenuse}=\frac{5}{13}[/tex]

In Exercises 1-4, determine whether the dilated figure or the original figure is closer to the center of dilation. Use the given location of the center of dilation and scale factor k.
1. Center of dilation inside the figure; k = 3
Center of ditation inside the figure, k = 1/2
3. Center of dilation outside the figure: = 120%
4. Center of dilation outside the figure; k = 0.1

Answers

When the Center of dilation is inside the figure

The original figure is closer to the center of dilationThe dilated figure is closer to the the center of dilation

When the Center of dilation is outside the figure

    3. The original figure is closer to the the center of dilation

    4. The dilated figure is closer to the center of dilation

The center of dilation is the fixed point from which the distances in a dilation are measured

The scale factor is ratio of the side lengths of an original figure or preimage to  the side lengths of the newly formed image

Center of dilation is inside the figure

Where the center of dilation is inside the figure, and the scale factor is larger than 1, k = 3 > 1,  we have;

The distance of a point on the dilated figure, including the distances from the center of dilation is 3 times the distances of points on the original image from the center of dilation

Therefore, the original figure has a shorter distance to and is therefore closer to the the center of dilation than the dilated figure

     2. Where the center of dilation is inside the figure, and the scale factor is a fraction between 0 and 1 k = 1/2, we have;

The distance of a point on the dilated figure, including the distances from the center of dilation is 1/2 times the distances of points on the original image from the center of dilation

Therefore, the dilated figure has a shorter distance to and is therefore closer to the the center of dilation than the original figure

Center of dilation outside the figure

     3. Given that the center of dilation is outside the figure and the scale factor is larger than 1, k = 120% = 120/100 = 1.2 > 1, we have;

The distance of the dilated figure from the center of dilation is 120% of the distance of the original figure from the center of dilation, therefore, the original figure is closer to the the center of dilation than the dilated figure

     4. Where the center of dilation is outside the figure and the scale factor is a fraction between 0 and 1, k = 0.1 < 1

The distance of the dilated figure from the center of dilation is only 0.1 times the distance of the original figure from the center of dilation, and therefore, the dilated figure is closer to the center of dilation

Answer:

The volume of the irregular figure would be 102 [tex]cm^3[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

If you wish to make the process of calculating the volume easier, you can picture the irregular figure as two rectangular prisms: the large one on the bottom, and the smaller one appearing to protrude from the prism below it. Using this method, you only need to find the volumes of the two rectangular prisms and add the values together to get the volume for the irregular figure. The formula used to find the volume of a rectangular prism is [tex]l*w*h[/tex], where [tex]l[/tex], [tex]w[/tex], and [tex]h[/tex], represents the length, width, and height of the rectangular prism respectively. Using the formula above, the volume of the larger rectangular prism would be [tex]6*3*5=30*3=90 cm^3[/tex], and the volume of the smaller rectangular prism would be [tex]3*2*2=6*2=12 cm^3[/tex]. So the volume of the entire irregular figure would be [tex]90+12=102 cm^3[/tex].

Answer:

102

Step-by-step explanation:

Large rectangle:

6 × 3 × 5 = 18 × 5 = 90

Small rectangle:

Write an equation in standard form of the line that passes through the given point and has the given slope (-8,0); m= -4 PLEASE HELP NEED DONE ASAP WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST

Answers

Answer:

4x+y=-32

Step-by-step explanation:

given,

slope (m) = -4

point: (-8,0)

as we know the slope intercept form of the line is, y=mx+b, b=y-mx, now we put x=-8, y=0 to find b [because the point is given (-8,0) so it must satisfy the equation]

so,

b = 0-(-4)×(-8) = -32

y=mx+b

or, y=-4x-32

or, 4x+y=-32

(this is the standard form of the line)

Using the equation y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 0 = -4(x - (-8))

y = -4(x + 8)

y = -4x - 32

The angle made by the ladder with the ground is degrees, and the length of the ladder is inches.

Answers

Answer:

59.04°

58.31 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution triangle is attached below :

Since we have a right angled triangle, we can apply trigonometry to obtain the angle ladder makes with the ground;

Let the angle = θ

Tanθ = opposite / Adjacent

Tanθ = 50/30

θ = tan^-1(50/30)

θ = 59.036°

θ = 59.04°

The length of ladder can be obtained using Pythagoras :

Length of ladder is the hypotenus :

Hence,

Hypotenus = √(adjacent² + opposite²)

Hypotenus = √(50² + 30²)

Hypotenus = √(2500 + 900)

Hypotenus = 58.309

Length of ladder = 58.31 inches

Answer:

59°

58.3 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the full question :

A ladder is placed 30 inches from a wall. It touches the wall at a height of 50 inches from the ground. The angle made by the ladder with the ground is degrees, and the length of the ladder is inches.

Please check the attached image for a diagram explaining this question

The angle the ladder makes with the ground is labelled x in the diagram

To find the value of x given the opposite and adjacent lengths, use tan

tan⁻¹ (opposite / adjacent)

tan⁻¹  (50 / 30)

tan⁻¹ 1.667

= 59°

the length of the ladder can be determined using Pythagoras theorem

The Pythagoras theorem : a² + b² = c²

where a = length

b = base

c =  hypotenuse

√(50² + 30²)

√(2500 + 900)

Answers

Answer:

1. a. 2

b. -½

c. y - 3 = -½(x - 8) => point-slope form

y = -½x + 7 => slope-intercept form

2. a. -1

b. 1

c. y - 5 = 1(x - 3) => point-slope form

y = x + 2 => slope-intercept form

Step-by-step explanation:

1. (8, 3) and (10, 7):

a. The gradient for the line joining the points:

Gradient = [tex] \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} [/tex]

Let,

[tex] (8, 3) = (x_1, y_1) [/tex]

[tex] (10, 7) = (x_2, y_2) [/tex]

Plug in the values

Gradient = [tex] \frac{7 - 3}{10 - 8} [/tex]

Gradient = [tex] \frac{4}{2} [/tex]

Gradient = 2

b. The gradient of the line perpendicular to this line = the negative reciprocal of 2

Negative reciprocal of 2 = -½

c. The equation of perpendicular line if it passes through the first point, (8, 3):

Equation of the perpendicular line in point-slope form can be expressed as y - b = m(x - a).

Where,

(a, b) = (8, 3)

Slope (m) = -½

Substitute (a, b) = (8, 3), and m = -½ into the point-slope equation, y - b = m(x - a).

Thus:

y - 3 = -½(x - 8) => point-slope form

We cam also express the equation of the perpendicular line in slope-intercept form by rewriting y - 3 = -½(x - 8) in the form of y = mx + b:

Thus:

y - 3 = -½(x - 8)

y - 3 = -½x + 4

y - 3 + 3 = -½x + 4 + 3

y = -½x + 7

2. (3, 5) and (4, 4):

a. The gradient for the line joining the points:

Gradient = [tex] \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} [/tex]

Let,

[tex] (3, 5) = (x_1, y_1) [/tex]

[tex] (4, 4) = (x_2, y_2) [/tex]

Plug in the values

Gradient = [tex] \frac{4 - 5}{4 - 3} [/tex]

Gradient = [tex] \frac{-1}{1} [/tex]

Gradient = -1

b. The gradient of the line perpendicular to this line = the negative reciprocal of -1

Negative reciprocal of -1 = 1

c. The equation of perpendicular line if it passes through the first point, (3, 5):

Equation of the perpendicular line in point-slope form can be expressed as y - b = m(x - a).

Where,

(a, b) = (3, 5)

Slope (m) = 1

Substitute (a, b) = (3, 5), and m = 1 into the point-slope equation, y - b = m(x - a).

Thus:

y - 5 = 1(x - 3) => point-slope form

We can also express the equation of the perpendicular line in slope-intercept form by rewriting y - 5 = 1(x - 3) in the form of y = mx + b:

Thus:

y - 5 = 1(x - 3)

y - 5 = x - 3

y - 5 + 5 = x - 3 + 5

y = x + 2

a = 17
b = 21
C = 25

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (a)  42.3°

Step-by-step explanation:

Side 'a' is the shortest of three unequal sides, so angle A will be the smallest angle in the triangle. Its measure can be found from the Law of Cosines.

  a² = b² +c² -2bc·cos(A)

  cos(A) = (b² +c² -a²)/(2bc) = (21² +25² -17²)/(2·21·25) = 777/1050

  A = arccos(777/1050) ≈ 42.3°

The measure of angle A is about 42.3°.

[tex]x = 34^\circ[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that ∠TSU and ∠PSR are vertical angles. Hence:

[tex]m\angle TSU = m\angle PSR[/tex]

∠PSR is the sum of ∠PSQ and ∠QSR. Hence:

[tex]\displaystyle m\angle TSU = m\angle PSQ + m\angle QSR[/tex]

We know that ∠TSU measures 4x and ∠QSR measures 3x. Thus:

[tex](4x) = m\angle PSQ + (3x)[/tex]

Solve for ∠PSQ:

[tex]m\angle PSQ = x[/tex]

Next, ∠PQS and ∠RQS form a linear pair. Thus:

[tex]m\angle PQS + m\angle RQS = 180^\circ[/tex]

∠RQS measures 68°. Thus:

[tex]m\angle PQS +(68^\circ) = 180^\circ[/tex]

Solve for ∠PQS:

[tex]m\angle PQS = 112^\circ[/tex]

The interior angles of a triangle must total 180°. So, for ΔPQS:

[tex]\displaystyle m\angle SPQ + m\angle PQS + m\angle PSQ = 180^\circ[/tex]

Substitute in the known values:

[tex](x) + (112^\circ) + (x) = 180^\circ[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]2x = 68^\circ[/tex]

And divide. Hence:

What is fraction?

The fractional bar is a horizontal bar that divides the numerator and denominator of every fraction into these two halves.

The number of parts into which the whole has been divided is shown by the denominator. It is positioned in the fraction's lower portion, below the fractional bar.How many sections of the fraction are displayed or chosen is shown in the numerator. It is positioned above the fractional bar in the upper portion of the fraction.

Given:

1/j + 1/k= 1/3

Simplifying the fraction

(k+ j)/ kj= 1/3

3k + 3j = kj

k(3- j) = -3j

k = -3j/ (3- j)

k= 3j/ (j-3)

k = 3j + 9 - 9 / (j-3)

k = 3 + 9/ (j-3)

Since (j-3) must be divisor of 9.

j- 3 = 1---> j=4, k= 3 +9 = 12

j- 3 = 3---> j=6, k= 3 +9/3 = 6

j- 3 = 9---> j=12, k= 3 +9/9 = 4
