Answer-

The value of y is 6 units.

Solution-

Given ∆ABC ≅ ∆GEF

If two triangles are congruent, then the corresponding sides are also congruent.

So,

EF = BC, GF = AC

Putting the values,

$\Rightarrow x-y=4$ --------------1

$\Rightarrow x-8=2$

$\Rightarrow x=10$ --------------------2

Putting the values of x in equation 1,

$\Rightarrow 10-y=4$

$\Rightarrow y=10-4=6$

Therefore, the value of y is 6 units.

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

40%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the owners of Expo Company John Smith and Susan Jones invested $240,000 and $160,000 into the business respectively. We are asked to find the percentage of business owned by Susan.

Let us figure out total money invested in business by adding the money invested by John Smith and Susan Jones.

$\text{Total money invested in business}=\$240,000+\$160,000$

$\text{Total money invested in business}=\$400,000$

Now we will find $160,000 is what percent of $400,000.

$\text{Percentage of business Susan own}=\frac{160,000}{400,000}\times 100$

$\text{Percentage of business Susan own}=0.4\times 100$

$\text{Percentage of business Susan own}=40$

Therefore, Susan owns 40% of the business.

A pool in the shape of a rectangle has a perimeter of 80feet. The pool is 8 feet less wide than it is long. Find the length and

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

The length and width of the pool = 24 ft and 16 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let length of pool be l and width of pool be w.

A pool in the shape of a rectangle has a perimeter of 80feet.

Perimeter of pool = 2 x ( l + w ) = 80 feet

That is

l + w = 40 ft -----------------------------------eqn 1.

The pool is 8 feet less wide than it is long.

l = 8 + w

l - w = 8 ft -----------------------------------eqn 2.

eqn 1 + eqn 2

2 l = 48

l = 24 ft

Substituting

24 + w = 40

w = 16 ft

The length and width of the pool = 24 ft and 16 ft
