The Triangles Below Are Similar. By What Ratio Was Triangle XYZ Enlarged By To Create Triangle LMN? Use

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Ratio: 3:2

LN = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

"similar" means that all the angles are the same and the sides were all increased by the same proportion.

Thus, we know that MN/YZ = LM/XY = NL/ZX

First, we need to find the ratio. To do this, we write MN/YZ as a fraction, and simplify.

MN/YZ = 15/10 = 3/2

(If you want, you can double check this using LM nd XY. 8 * 3/2 = 12, so this is correct)

To find the missing side, we simply multiply XZ by 3/2.

12 * 3/2 = 18, so LN = 18.

A line has a slope of -1/10
and includes the points (1, -6) and (t, -5). What is the value of t?

Answers

Answer:

-9

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we use the slope formula: m= y2-y1/x2-x1. We simply plug in the numbers we know: -1/10 = -5+6/t-1. Then we solve for t. Multiply both sides by (t-1) so -1/10 (t-1)= 1. Then multiply both sides by -1/10 so t-1= -10 and then add one to both sides so t=-9.

2m+(m-15)=90 solve for m

Answers

Answer:

m = 35

Step-by-step explanation:

2m + m -15 = 90

3m -15 = 90

     +15  +15

3m = 105

/3     /3

m = 35

To check the work just insert 35 for m:

2(35) + 35 -15 = 90

70 + 35 -15 = 90

105 - 15 = 90

90 = 90

12. Given a right triangle with the length
of one leg equal to 9 centimeters and
the length of the hypotenuse equal to
15 centimeters, what is the length of
the other leg?
F 6 cm
H square root of 306 cm
G 12 cm
J 144 cm

Answers

Answer:

G. 12 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of one leg of right triangle = a = 9 cm

Length of hypotenuse = c = 15 cm

Length of the other leg = b = ?

Applying pythagorean theorem, c² = a² + b², we have:

15² = 9² + b²

15² - 9² = b²

144 = b²

b = √144

b = 12

Consider the following equation

3x + 9y = 8y - 2

Step 2 of 2: Find the equation of the line which passes through the point (13,5) and is perpendicular to the given line. Express your answer in
slope-intercept form. Simplify your answer.

Answers

Answer:

The perpendicular line is:

y = 1/3  x + 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation can be reduced to its slope-intercept form as shown below:

3x + 9y = 8y - 2

subtract 8 y from both sides

3 x + y = -2

subtract 3 x from both sides

y = - 3 x -2

therefore we know that the slope of this line is -3, and then, a perpendicular line to it must have slope given by the "opposite of the reciprocal" of this slope. That is, the slope of any perpendicular line to this one must be: 1/3

We use this slope to find the equation of the line passing through the point (13. 5)

y = 1/3 x + b

passing through (13, 5) means:

5 = 1/3 (13) + b

therefore, we can find b from the above equation

b = 5 - 13/3 = 15/3 - 13/3 = 2/3

Then the equation of this perpendicular line is:

y = 1/3  x + 2/3

All good chips pass the test, while 6% of the bad chips(20%) also pass.
