A surveyor is measuring the distance across a canyon. He sets up two similar right triangles and finds that the length of CD = 12 feet and the length of DE = 16 feet.

If △ABC ~ △EDC, what is the length side AB?

The length of lake is 4500 feet.

A triangle is a closed shape with 3 angles, 3 sides, and 3 vertices. A triangle with three vertices P, Q, and R is represented as △PQR.

Here, In ΔABE and ΔDCE

          ∠ABE = ∠DCE         { each 90⁰ }

          ∠AEB = ∠CED         { vertically opposite angle}

By AA similarity, we get

          ΔABE ≈ ΔDCE

Now, AB/CD = BE/CE

       AB/500 = 1800/200

       AB/500 = 9

        AB = 9 X 500

       AB = 4500 feet.

Thus, the length of lake is 4500 feet.

The value of x is 77 cm which will make the triangles similar by SSS similarity theorem

Given length of the three sides of one triangle are  35 , 20 and 20

and length of the three sides of another triangle are  x, 44,44

We need to find the values of x by using SSS Similarity theorem

We know that triangles are are similar by side - side - side similarity creation and hence the sides are in the same ratio

As both the triangles are isosceles triangles

Therefore ,

x/35 = 44/20=44/20 (Using ratio)

Solving the equation we get

x=44*35/20

x= 77

Hence the value of x is 77cm

Original question answer:

2x - 4 = 6

2x = 6 + 4

2x = 10

A polygon is a planar figure characterized by a limited number of straight-line segments joined to create a closed polygonal chain in geometry.

A polygon is a planar figure characterized by a limited number of straight-line segments joined to create a closed polygonal chain in geometry. A polygon is defined as a bounded planar region, a bounding circuit, or both.

2. Find the value of the supplementary angle of y for each polygon.

A.) For an isosceles triangle, using the base angle theorem we can write that the measure of the angle opposite to the congruent side will be equal. Therefore, the sum of the angles of the triangle can be written as,

y + y + 26° = 180°

2y = 154°

y = 77°

B.) The sum of the interior angles of a regular polygon is given as (n-2)180°, where n is the number of sides, also for a regular polygon the measure of each interior angle is equal. Since in a pentagon the number of sides is 5. Therefore, the measure of an interior angle can be written as,

y = [(n-2)180°]/n

y = [(5-2)180°]/5

y = 108°

3. The sum of the exterior angle of all the polygons is equal to 360°. Therefore, the sum of the exterior angles of the triangle and the pentagon will be the same, 360°

4. The formula to find the sum of the interior angles of a polygon, we can use the formula.

Sum of interior angles of an n-sided polygon = (n-2)180°

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So first you need to find the area of the swimming pool:

19*6 = 114

Next you add the area of the swimming pool and the area of the walkway:

114 + 770 = 884

After this you solve for x using this equation:

(19 +2x) * (6 + 2x) = 884

This would normally find the area of the whole swimming pool area and the walkway but because we know that we can use it to solve for x.

The step-by-step is this:

[tex]4x^{2} +50x+114=884[/tex]

[tex]4x^2+50x+114-884=884-884[/tex]

 [tex]4x^2+50x+114-884=0[/tex]

Now we'll use the quadratic formula to simplify it farther:

[tex]x= \frac{-(50) + \sqrt{(50)^2-4(4)(-770)} }{2(4)}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{-50 + or - \sqrt{14820} }{8}[/tex]

[tex]x= \frac{-25}{4}+\frac{1}{4} \sqrt{3705}[/tex] or [tex]x= \frac{-25}{4} + \frac{-1}{4}\sqrt{3705}[/tex]

A rise of 8 and a run of 6. Then the correct option is B.

Coordinate geometry is the study of geometry using the points in space.

On a coordinate plane, a right triangle has points A (-5, -6), B (-5, -2), and C (-2, -2).

The distance between AB will be

AB² = (-5 + 5)² + (-2 + 4)²

AB² = 4²

AB = 4

The distance between BC will be

BC² = (-2 + 5)² + (-2 + 2)²

BC² = 3²

 BC = 3

Then the rise and run will be

rise / run = 4 / 3

Then this can be written as

rise / run = 8 / 6

Then the correct option is B.

Answer:

think of each T in the original equation as an empty box, like this:

P(   ) = 2(   )² + (   ) - 7

when it says p(some number), it means replace all Ts in the equation with that number.

P( 0 ) = 2( 0 )² + ( 0 ) - 7 = 0 + 0 - 7 = -7

do the same for the rest <:)

for the second part, it's the same concept: every T is replaced with what's inside the parentheses.

so P( -t ) = 2( -t )² + ( -t ) - 7 = 2t² - t - 7

Answer:

I have $550; my sister has $300.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount I have be x.

Let the amount my sister has be y.

We have a total of $850, so

x + y = 850

50% of my amount plus 75% of my sister's amount equals $500.

0.5x + 0.75y = 500

We have a system of two equations:

x + y = 850

0.5x + 0.75y = 500

Multiply the second equation by 2 and subtract the first equation from it.

0.5y = 150

y = 300

x + y = 850

x + 300 = 850

x = 550

Answer: I have $550; my sister has $300.

Using the normal distribution, it is found that the probability that the sample mean is above 80 is of 0.1056 = 10.56%.

The z-score of a measure X of a normally distributed variable with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex] is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The parameters are given as follows:

[tex]\mu = 75, \sigma = 24, n = 36, s = \frac{24}{\sqrt{36}} = 4[/tex].

The probability that the sample mean is above 80 is one subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 80, hence:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

By the Central Limit Theorem

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{80 - 75}{4}[/tex]

Z = 1.25

Z = 1.25 has a p-value of 0.8944.
