Answer:

$DZ=4\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If CD is parallel to XZ

then

Triangle XYZ is similar to Triangle YCD

therefore

The ratio of their corresponding sides are equal

$\frac{XY}{CY}=\frac{ZY}{YD}$

we have

CX=5\ units, CY=25\ units, YD=20\ units,

$XY=CX+CY$

$XY=5+25=30\ units$

$ZY=YD+DZ$

$ZY=20+DZ$

substitute the values

$\frac{30}{25}=\frac{20+DZ}{20}$

$20\frac{30}{25}={20+DZ}$

$24={20+DZ}$

$DZ=4\ units$

Answer:

If CX = 5 units, then DZ = 4 units

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure, it can be seem that CD is parallel to XZ, therefore Triangle XYZ is similar to Triangle YCD.

Using the similarity condition, we have

$\frac{XY}{CY}=\frac{ZY}{YD}$

$\frac{XC+CY}{CY}= \frac{ZD+DY}{YD}$

Substituting the given values, we get

$\frac{5+25}{25}=\frac{ZD+20}{20}$

$\frac{30}{25}=\frac{ZD+20}{20}$

$\frac{600}{25}=ZD+20$

$24=ZD+20$

$ZD=4$

Thus, the value of ZD is 4 units.

the ratio of the measures of the sides of a triangle is 21:8:14 if the perimeter of the triangle is 215 feet find the length of

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

the 3 sides of the triangle are 105 ft, 40 ft and 70 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

the perimeter is the sum of the 3 sides of the triangle

add the parts of the ratio 21 + 8 + 14 = 43

divide the perimeter by 43 to find the value of one part of the ratio

= 5 ft ← 1 part of the ratio, hence

21 parts = 21 × 5 = 105 ft

8 parts = 8 × 5 = 40 ft

14 parts = 14 × 5 = 70 ft

the 3 sides of the triangle are 105 ft, 40 ft and 70 ft

The spring has a stiffness k=200n/m and is unstretched when the 25 kg block is at

g100num [7]

To solve this we are going to use the formula fro the force applied to a spring: $F=ks$
where
$k$ is the spring constant
$s$ is the extension

Since we know the $F=ma$ , we can replace that in our formula and solve for $a$ :
$ma=ks$
$a= \frac{ks}{m}$
where
$a$ is the acceleration
$k$ is the spring constant
$s$ is the extension
$m$ is the mass

We know for our problem that $k=200$ , $s=0.4$ , and $m=25$ . So lets replace those values in our formula to find $a$ :
$a= \frac{ks}{m}$
$a= \frac{(200)(0.4)}{25}$
$a=3.5 \frac{m}{s^2}$

We can conclude that the acceleration of the block when s=0.4m is $3.5 \frac{m}{s^2}$ .

Given your sister's incomplete text,

egoroff_w [7]

Explanation:

Quadrants 2 and 3 houses points that have negative x-values, while as Quadrants 1 and 4 houses points that have positive x-values.

If 'your sister' completes the text with negative y-value, the point would be in Q3.

If 'your sister' completes the text with positive y-value, the point would be in Q2.

A bee flies at 9 feet per second directly to a flowerbed from its hive. The bee stays at the flowerbed for 13 minutes, and then

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer: 576 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to do a little subtracting and a little interpreting to get the answer. First you must assume that the bee travels in a straight line. This is math so we can assume this is true, although thousands would disagree.

Second you must assume that because it is loaded with nectar that it travels at a slower rate (not an unreasonable assumption).

Third you have to assume that the distance there is the same distance as coming back. Again this is math. We can make this assumption.

Find the travelling time.

The bee spends 12 minutes hunting down the nectar in the flowerbed. Since it was away from the hive for a total of 16 minutes, the travelling time is

16min - 12min = 4 min

Convert the Minutes to seconds.

1 minute = 60 seconds

4 minutes = 4*60 = 240 seconds.

Find the time each way.

The total time is 240 seconds, but it is not divided evenly.

Let the time there = t

Let the time back = 240 - t

The distances are the same.

r = 6 m/s

r1 = 4 m/s

t1 = t

t2 = 240 - t

dthere = dback

d = rate * time

6 m/s *t = 4 m/s (240 - t) Remove the brackets on the right.

6 * t = 4*240 - 4t Combine the like terms on the right.

6t = 960 - 4t Add 4t to both sides

6t + 4t = 960 - 4t + 4t Combine

10t = 960 Divide both sides by 10

10t/10 = 960/10 Do the division

t = 96 Time going to the flower bed

Find the distance

d = ?

r = 6 m/s

t = 96 second

d = r*t

d = 6 * 96 = 576 feet Answer

Find the 89th term of 25,35,45

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

The 89th term would be 895.

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a pattern of adding 10 each time. Notice that the 5 at the end doesn't change and that the first number continues (i.e. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). All you have to do is add an 89 in front of the 5 and that is your answer, 895.
