We know that the angles of a triangle sum to 180°. For ΔABC, this means we have:
(4x-10)+(5x+10)+(7x+20)=180
Combining like terms,
16x+20=180
Subtracting 20 from both sides:
16x=160
Dividing both sides by 16:
x=10
This means ∠A=4*10-10=40-10=30°; ∠B=5*10+10=50+10=60°; and ∠C=7*10+20=70+20=90.
For ΔA'B'C', we have
(2x+10)+(8x-20)+(10x-10)=180
Combining like terms,
20x-20=180
Adding 20 to both sides:
20x=200
Dividing both sides by 20:
x=10
This gives us ∠A'=2*10+10=20+10=30°; ∠B'=8*10-20=80-20=60°; and ∠C'=10*10-10=100-10=90°.
Since the angle are all congruent, ΔABC~ΔA'B'C' by AAA.
The picture in the attached figure
we know that
In similar triangles. The ratio of the lengths of the sides CS and CB must be equal to the ratio of the lengths of sides CR and CA. CS / CB = CR / CA
which can also be written as,
CS / (CS + SB) = CR / (CR + RA)
CS*(CR+RA)=CR*(CS+RA)
CS=2x+1
SB=6x
CR=7.5
RA=18
(2x+1)*[7.5+18]=7.5*[2x+1+18]
(2x+1)*[25.5]=7.5*[2x+19]
(51x+25.5)=15x+142.5
51x-15x=142.5-25.5
36x=117
x=117/36
x=3.25
the answer is x=3.25
step 1: distributive property.
step 2: combine like terms.
step 3: subtraction property of equality.
step 4: addition property of equality.
step 5: division property of equality.
hope this helps.
Answer:
Myra: 24.8s (winner)
Byron: 26.3s
Step-by-step explanation:
Myra knocked down 1, so therefore there are 2 points added onto her time and it is now 24.8s.
Byron knocked down 3, so there are 6 points added on for 2 seconds per each hurdle. His time is now 26.3
Answer:
$42.88
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's create a proportion using the following setup:
cost/pounds=cost/pounds
We know that it costs $20.42 for a 10 pound turkey.
$20.42/10 pounds= cost/pounds
We don't know how much a 21 pound turkey costs, so we can say that it costs $x for a 21 pound turkey.
$20.42/ 10 pounds= $x/ 21 pounds
20.42/10=x/21
We want to find x, by getting x by itself.
x is being divided by 21. The inverse of division is multiplication. Multiply both sides by 21.
21*(20.42/10)=(x/21)*21
21* 20.42/10=x
21*2.042=x
42.882=x
Round to the nearest cent, or hundredth.
42.88=x
x= $42.88
A 21 pound turkey costs $42.88
