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

The batting Wang Xiu Ying uses to fill quilts has a thermal conductivity rate of 0.030.030, point, 03 watts (\text{W})(W)left pa
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

0.0003W/cm°C

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is not properly written. Here is the correct question.

The batting wang xiu ying uses to fill quilts has a thermal conductivity rate of 0.03 watts (W) per meter(m) per degree celsius. what is the batting thermal conductivity when w/cm•c

Given the thermal conductivity in W/m°C to be 0.03W/m°C

We are to rewrite the value in W/cm°C

The difference is the unit. The only thing we need to do is to simply convert the unit (metres) in W/m°C to centimeters (cm)

Since 100cm = 1m, 0.03W/m°C can be expressed as shown below;

= 0.03W/m°C

= 0.03 × W/1m×°C

Note that 1m = 100cm, substituting this conversion into the expression, it will become;

= 0.03 × W/100cm × °C

= 0.03/100 × W/cm°C

= 0.0003W/cm°C

Hence the battling thermal conductivity in W/cm°C is 0.0003W/cm°C

A pure acid measuring x liters is added to 300 liters of a 20% acidic solution. The concentration of acid, f(x), in the new subs
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer How many liters of a 20% acid solution should be mixed with 30 liters of 50% acid solution in order to obtain a 40% solution. ... x=15 liters 15*(.20 pure acid)=3 liters 30*(.50 pure acid)=15 liters That is 18 liters pure acid That is 45 liters solution *0.45 pure acid=18 liters.

As more pure acid is added, the concentration of acid approaches 0.

give an example on an addition problem in which you would and would not group the addends differently to add
Murrr4er [49]
Addends are any of the numbers added together in an equation. 

The only time their grouping would matter would be if there were parentheses used to alter the normal Order of Operations. 

For ex:
2 - (8 + 3)  here, the 8 and 3 have to be grouped together before doing the subtraction.

Any addition problem without parentheses can be used for one where the grouping doesn't matter
