Answer:
a) x = 14
b) The perimeter of △QRS is 77 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Due to the question asking for a solution using the Triangle Proportionality Theorem, it is assumed that △RQS is similar to the smaller triangle inside it.
Let us define the point at which the line inside △RQS meets line RQ as T, and the point at which that same line meets line RS as V.
Hence, △RTV ~ △RQS.
According to the Triangle Proportionality Theorem:
[tex]\frac{RT}{RQ} = \frac{TV}{QS} = \frac{VR}{SR}[/tex]
Hence, we can substitute all values that we know from the diagram:
[tex]\frac{2x - 2}{2x - 2 + 13} = \frac{TV}{17} = \frac{21 - 7}{21}[/tex]
After getting this information, all we have to do is simplify and solve the equation:
[tex]\frac{2x - 2}{2x - 2 + 13} = \frac{21 - 7}{21}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{2x - 2}{2x + 11} = \frac{14}{21}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{2x - 2}{2x + 11} = \frac{2}{3}[/tex]
[tex]3(2x - 2) = 2(2x + 11)[/tex]
[tex]6x - 6 = 4x + 22[/tex]
[tex]6x - 4x = 22 + 6[/tex]
[tex]2x = 28[/tex]
[tex]x = 14[/tex]
To verify this answer, we can plug in the value of x into the equation:
[tex]\frac{2(14) - 2}{2(14) - 2 + 13} = \frac{2}{3}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{26}{39} = \frac{2}{3}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{2}{3} = \frac{2}{3}[/tex]
Hence, after verification, we can get the answer: x = 14.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
b) To find the perimeter of △QRS, all we have to do is to add all the lengths of the sides of △QRS together.
Hence, 2(14) - 2 + 13 + 17 + 21
= 28 - 2 + 13 + 17 + 21
= 77 units
Therefore, the perimeter of △QRS is 77 units.
Hope this helped!
Evaluate 15 squared show work
Answer:
225
Step-by-step explanation:
15x15=225
There is a cool trick you can do. Lets take 28 and square it.
First you round the number up. 28 rounded is 30. You rounded up by 2 (30-28=2) so you minus 2 from 28.
You are left with these two numbers, 26 and 30. Add a zero to the 26.
You now have 260 and 3 (you remove 0 on the 30 since you added it to the 26)
Then you multiply by 3.
260x3=780
Then you add the square of the number you rounded up too, which is 2.
You are left with this equation.
(2^2)+780= 784
28x28=784.
This works for numbers below 100 and integers
A university organization shows that 108 of the university's 253 assistant professors were women, along with 97 of the 301 associate professors and 78 of the 350 full professors. (a) What is the probability that a randomly chosen university professor (of any rank) is a woman
Answer:
[tex]Probability = 0.3131[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Required
Determine the probability of selecting a woman
The given data can be represented to show women distribution as:
-------------------------------------- Women ------------------- Total
Assistant Professors ----------- 108 ----------------------253
Associate Professors ---------97 -------------------------301
Full Professors -----------------78---------------------------350
First, we calculate the number of women
[tex]Women = 108 + 97 + 78[/tex]
[tex]Women = 283[/tex]
Next, we calculate the total number of professors
[tex]Professors = 253 + 301 + 350[/tex]
[tex]Professors = 904[/tex]
Probability of selecting women is then calculated as:
[tex]Probability = \frac{Women}{Professors}[/tex]
[tex]Probability = \frac{283}{904}[/tex]
[tex]Probability = 0.31305309734[/tex]
[tex]Probability = 0.3131[/tex] -- (approximated)
Help plz 13. Mildred is flying a kite on a 30 m string. The angle of elevation of the kite measures 40 degrees,
and Mildred's hand is 2 m above the ground. About how high is the kite off the ground?
a. 21.3 m
c. 19.3 m
b. 25 m
d. 23 m
Answer: 21.3m
Step-by-step explanation:
The height of the kite of the ground would be calculated as:
We have to calculate the question using a right angled triangle that has angle ACB as 90° while angle CAB will be 40°.
Therefore, the height of the kite would be:
= 30 sin 40 + 2
= 30 (0.6428 ) + 2
= 19.284 + 2
= 21.284 m
= 21.3 m
given f(x)=2x-5, find x when f(x)=9
Answer:

divide by 2 to get x by itself
x = 7
Find the 61st term of -12, -28, -44,
Answer:
[tex]a_{61}=-972[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Arithmetic Sequences
The arithmetic sequences are identified because any term n is obtained by adding or subtracting a fixed number to the previous term. That number is called the common difference.
The equation to calculate the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is:
[tex]a_n=a_1+(n-1)r[/tex]
Where
an = nth term
a1 = first term
r = common difference
n = number of the term
We are given the first terms of a sequence:
-12, -28, -44,...
Find the common difference by subtracting consecutive terms:
r = -28 - (-12) = -16
r = -44 - (-28) = -16
The first term is a1 = -12. Now we calculate the term n=61:
[tex]a_{61}=-12+(61-1)(-16)[/tex]
[tex]a_{61}=-12-60*16=-12-960[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{a_{61}=-972}[/tex]
Amit’s school bus travelsat 36km/hr and Sushma’s school bus travels at 11 m/s. Whose school bus is faster ?
Answer:
This answer is not originally mine so Don give me credit
Step-by-step explanation:
Amit's school bus in m/s will be
36×1000/3600
36 × 10/36
= 10 m/s
While sushma's school bus has speed of 11 m/s
so sushma's school bus is faster than Amit's school bus
Answer:
Amit's: 10 m/s
Sushma's 11 m/s
Step-by-step explanation:
Amit's:
36 x 1000/3600
36 x 10/36
Sushma's:
11 m/s
Sushma's school bus is faster than Amit

mZ1 + m22 =
Answer:
[tex]m∠1 + m∠2 = 180[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]m∠1 = m∠3 \\ m∠2 = m∠4[/tex]
[tex]m∠ 1 = m∠3 \\ 60 = 60[/tex]
[tex]360 - m∠1 + m∠3 = m∠2 + m∠4[/tex]
[tex]360 - 60 + 60 = m∠2 + m∠4[/tex]
[tex]360 - 2(60) = m∠2 + m∠4[/tex]
[tex]360 - 120 = m∠2 + m∠4[/tex]
[tex]240 = m∠2 + m∠4[/tex]
[tex] \frac{240}{2} = m∠2 = m∠4[/tex]
[tex]120 = m∠2 = m∠4[/tex]
[tex]m∠2 = 120 \\ m∠4 = 120[/tex]
[tex]m∠1 = 60 \\ m∠3 = 60[/tex]
[tex]m∠2 = 120 \\ m∠4 = 120[/tex]
[tex]m∠1 + m∠2 + m∠3 + m∠4 { = }^{?} 360[/tex]
[tex]60 + 120 + 60 + 120 { = }^{?} 360[/tex]
[tex]2(60) + 2(120) { = }^{?} 360[/tex]
[tex]120 + 240 { = }^{?} 360[/tex]
[tex]360 = 360[/tex]
[tex]m∠1 + m∠2 [/tex]
[tex]60 + 120 = 180[/tex]
[tex]m∠1 + m∠2 = 180[/tex]

Find the x and y intercepts of the following equation. 3x - 8y = 24
Jill would like an increase in the hourly wage she receives from the Mathematics Research Center, where she works in the mail room. Her boss gives her an equation to solve, telling her that her raise is the solution to the equation, but only if she can solve it. The equation is x 2- 6x + 9 = 0. What was the amount of her raise per hour? Answer:
Answer:
Jill will receive an increase of $3 per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
The Quadratic Equation
The quadratic equation can be represented in the standard form as:
[tex]ax^2+bx+c=0[/tex]
being a,b, and c are constants.
It can be solved by using the quadratic formula:
[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]
Jill would like an increase in her hourly wage. The increase will come as the solution for a maths equation.
She must solve the equation:
[tex]x^2-6x+9=0[/tex]
The solution to the equation, or value of x, is the increase in her hourly wage.
Comparing with the general form, we have a=1, b=-6, c=9. Thus, the solutions are:
[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{-(-6)\pm \sqrt{(-6)^2-4(1)(9)}}{2(1)}[/tex]
[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{6\pm \sqrt{36-36}}{2}[/tex]
[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{6\pm \sqrt{0}}{2}[/tex]
The square root is 0, therefore is only one solution:
[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{6}{2}=3[/tex]
x = 3
Thus, her raise per hour is $3.

yards shorter would it be if Julie took the diagonal shortcut, x?
16 yd
63 yd
х
A
(10
Answer:
65 yd
Step-by-step explanation:
The image of this walking path of Cristal is missing, so i have attached it.
From the image attached, we can see that the path "x" is the hypotenuse path a the triangle.
Thus, we can use pythagoras theorem to find the area. Thus;
x² = 16² + 63²
x = √(16² + 63²)
x = √4225
x = 65 yd

Find the value of x. Will give brainliest
Answer:
x = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Angle CAB = 33 degrees (Z-figure)
Angle ACE = 180 degrees (line), therefore angle ACB = 180 - 5x.
Sum of all angles in the triangle should equate to 180 degrees.
Now the sum is of all angles in triangle ABC is:
CAB + ABC + ACB = 33 + (180 - 5x) + 2x = 213 - 3x
So 213 - 3x should equal 180.
213 - 3x = 180 <=> -3x = -33 <=> x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:
-8 is smaller than 8
the absolute value of -4 is 4, but there is another minus, so it becomes -4. -4 is smaller than -2
-7 is bigger than -9
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
-8 < |8|
-|-4| < -2
-7 > -9
absolute value has the || sign around the number. If you see that, and there's a "minus" sign, then reverse it to a PLUS sign. Because absolute value is just how far away the number is to 0. So -8 is "8" to 0.
now if we have for example, -|-4| then it'd be -4 because |-4| is 4, but then -4 again cause there's a minus sign.
