Answer:

Measure of side YX is 22 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since ΔVWZ ~ ΔXWY, their corresponding sides will be in the same ratio.

$\frac{VW}{XW}=\frac{VZ}{XY}=\frac{WZ}{WY}$

By substituting the values given in the picture in the ratio,

$\frac{45}{30}=\frac{(3x-9)}{(x+8)}=\frac{36}{24}$

$\frac{(3x-9)}{(x+8)}=\frac{3}{2}$

By cross multiplication,

2(3x - 9) = 3(x + 8)

6x - 18 = 3x + 24

(6x -18) + 18 = 3x + 24 + 18

6x - 3x = (3x + 42) - 3x

6x - 3x = 42

3x = 42

x = $\frac{42}{3}$

x = 14

m(YX) = x + 8

= 14 + 8

= 22

Therefore, measure of side YX is 22 units.

Which two statements are missing in steps 3 and 4?

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

∠B ≅ ∠Y △ABC ~ △ZYX by the SAS similarity theorem.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. $AB=6$ units

$YZ=3$ units

$BC=8$ units

$XY=4$ units, then

$\dfrac{AB}{ZY}=\dfrac{BC}{YX}=2$

2. $\angle B$ and $\angle Y$ are right angles - given

3. $\angle B\cong \angle Y$ two right angles are always congruent.

4. $\triangle ABC\sim \triangle ZYX$ by SAS similarity theorem.

SAS Similarity Theorem states that if two sides in one triangle are proportional to two sides in another triangle and the included angle in both are congruent, then the two triangles are similar.

laila [671]

Answer:

Neither of the two advertising options meet the goal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Every $4,000 spent on cable TV will reach 160 fans.

Therefore, the goal of reaching 200000 fans will be fulfilled by $\frac{4000 \times 200000}{160} = 5000000$ dollars i.e. $5 million which is greater than the budget of $3 million.

Now, every $2,750 spent on radio ads will reach 125 fans.

Therefore, the goal of reaching 200000 fans will be fulfilled by $\frac{2750 \times 200000}{125} = 4500000$ dollars i.e. $4.5 million which is again greater than the budget of $3 million.

Therefore, neither of the two advertising options meet the goal. (Answer)

9 out of 10 people at a game are rooting for the home team. What is the probability that exactly 6 of 8 people sitting together

scZoUnD [109]

A random supporter roots the home team with probability 0.9, and the away team with probability 0.1.

Choosing 6 out of 8 supporters who root for the home team has probability

$\displaystyle\binom{8}{6}\cdot 0.9^6\cdot 0.1^2 = 28\cdot0.531441\cdot 0.01=0.14$

Kate packs snow into 5 identical jars. Each jar represents a different depth of snow. Kate then lets the snow in each jar comple

Xelga [282]

Answer:

A, C, E

Step-by-step explanation:

From the table you can see that the water depth cahnges

$0.8-0.4=1.2-0.8=1.6-1.2=2.0-1.6=0.4\ in$

for every

$4-2=6-4=8-6=10-8=2\ in$ of snow (option B is false).

This means that the function modelling this situation is linear function (option A is true and option D is false). Let the equation of this function be $y=ax+b.$ Then

$0.4=2a+b,\\ \\0.8=4a+b.$

Subtract these two equations:

$2a=0.8-0.4,\\ \\2a=0.4,\\ \\a=0.2.$

Hence,

$b=0.4-2\cdot 0.2=0.$

The equation of the straight line (the graph of linear function) is $y=0.2x.$ (option E is true) This line passes through the point (0,0), because its coordinates satisfy the equation (option C is true).
