Answer

Find out the value of x .

To proof

SAS congurence property

In this property two sides and one angle of the two triangles are equal.

in the Δ ADC and ΔBDC

(1) CD = CD (common side of both the triangle)

(2) ∠CDA = ∠ CDB = 90 °

( ∠CDA +∠ CDB = 180 ° (Linear pair)

as given in the diagram

∠CDA = 90°

∠ CDB = 180 ° - 90°

∠ CDB = 90°)

(3) AD = DB (as shown in the diagram)

Δ ADC ≅ ΔBDC

by using the SAS congurence property .

AC = BC

(Corresponding sides of the congurent triangle)

As given

the length of AC is 2x and the length of BC is 3x - 5 .

2x = 3x - 5

3x -2x =5

x = 5

The value of x is 5 .

Hence proved

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We will prove the SAS congruence property

(In this property two sides and one angle of the two triangles are equal the, the two triangles are similar)

consider, Δ ADC and ΔBDC

(1) CD = CD (common side of both the triangle)

(2) ∠CDA = ∠ CDB = 90 °

( since, ∠CDA +∠ CDB = 180 ° )

(3) AD = DB (as shown in the diagram)

Hence, Δ ADC ≅ ΔBDC

by using the SAS congurence property .

AC = BC

(Corresponding sides of the congruent triangle)

i.e. 2x = 3x - 5

3x -2x =5

x = 5

Hence, the value of x is 5

Shana bought 6.2 pounds of pecans and paid $56.00. About how much per pound did the pecans cost?

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

D. About $10

Step-by-step explanation:

To find unit price, you divide the total price by how much you're buying.

For example - $56 divided by 6.2 pounds of pecans is 9.032258064516129032258064516129‬ which can be rounded up to about $10

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

There are 11550 possible selections

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Men = 7$

$Women = 11$

Required

How many ways can 4 men and 4 women be selected

The keyword in the question is SELECTION and it means COMBINATION;

So, number of selection is:

$Number = Men * Women$

$Number = ^7C_4 * ^{11}C_4$

This gives

$Number = \frac{7!}{(7-4)!4!} * \frac{11!}{(11-4)!4!}$

$Number = \frac{7!}{3!4!} * \frac{11!}{7!4!}$

$Number = \frac{7 * 6 * 5 * 4!}{3!4!} * \frac{11 * 10 * 9 * 8 * 7!}{7!4!}$

$Number = \frac{7 * 6 * 5}{3!} * \frac{11 * 10 * 9 * 8}{4!}$

$Number = \frac{7 * 6 * 5}{3 * 2 * 1} * \frac{11 * 10 * 9 * 8}{4 * 3 * 2 * 1}$

$Number = \frac{7 * 6 * 5}{6} * \frac{11 * 10 * 9 * 8}{4 * 3 * 2 * 1}$

$Number = 7 * 5 * \frac{11 * 10 * 9 * 8}{4 * 3 * 2 * 1}$

$Number = 7 * 5 * \frac{7920}{24}$

$Number = 7 * 5 * 330$

$Number = 11550$

Hence;

<em>There are 11550 possible selections</em>

The square of a number decreased by 3 times the number 28 find all possible values for the number

stealth61 [152]

Question:

The square of a number decreased by 3 times the number is 28 find all possible values for the number

Answer:

The possible values of number are 7 and -4

Solution:

Given that the square of a number decreased by 3 times the number is 28

To find: all possible values of number

Let "a" be the unknown number

From given information,

square of a number decreased by 3 times the number = 28

$a^2 - 3a = 28$

$a^2 - 3a - 28 = 0$

Let us solve the above quadratic equation

$\text {For a quadratic equation } a x^{2}+b x+c=0, \text { where } a \neq 0$

$x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}$

Using the above formula,

$\text { For } a^{2}-3 a-28=0 \text { we have } a=1, b=-3, c=-28$

$\begin{aligned}&a=\frac{-(-3) \pm \sqrt{(-3)^{2}-4(1)(-28)}}{2 \times 1}\\\\&a=\frac{3 \pm \sqrt{9+112}}{2}\\\\&a=\frac{3 \pm \sqrt{121}}{2}=\frac{3 \pm 11}{2}\\\\&a=\frac{3+11}{2} \text { or } a=\frac{3-11}{2}\\\\&a=7 \text { or } a=-4\end{aligned}$

Thus the possible values of number are 7 and -4
