Find x and the measures of the indicated parts

Mathematics

Given:

Two similar triangles AEB and ACD.

To solve for x, we can use ratio and proportion following the rule for similar triangles. 

So,

AE / AD = AB / AC

Substitute values,

AE = AD - DE
AE = 6 - 5
AE = 1

1 / 6 = 2 / (2 + x + 4)

Solve for x 

x = 6

then,

BC = x +4 = 6 + 4 = 10
AC = 2 + x + 4 = 12

Therefore, the measurements of the triangles are:

AE = 1 
BC = 10
AC = 12

The table shows the ratio between the number of books ordered and their cost: Find equivalent ratios when the number of books or
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

The table shows the ratio between the number of books ordered and their cost: Number of Books Cost (dollars) 7 21 8 24 9 27 Find equivalent ratios when the number of books ordered is 1, 2, and 3. Write them as ordered pairs in the form (x-coordinate, y-coordinate). Starting from the origin, explain how to plot the three equivalent ratios on a coordinate grid.

Answer: Let the number of books be represented as x and the cost (dollars) be represented as y. From the table the ordered pairs in the form (x, y) can be gotten. (7, 21), (8, 24), (9, 27). To get the relationship between the number of books and the cost, we can use the formula of a straight line.

Using point (7, 21) and (8, 24):

y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} (x-x_1)\\\\y-21=\frac{24-21}{8-7}(x-7)\\ \\y-21=3(x-7)\\\\y=3x-21+21\\\\y=3x

When the number of books ordered is 1, 2, 3 the following pairs are:

For x = 1.     y = 3x = 3(1) = 3

For x = 2     y=3x = 3(2) = 6

For x = 3     y = 3x = 3(3) = 9

The ordered pairs are (1, 3), (2, 6), (3, 9)

The graph is attached

To plot the ordered pairs, the number of books are plotted on the x coordinate and the cost on the y coordinate

Divide rs 350 in ratio 2:5​
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

100 : 250

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum the parts of the ratio, 2 + 5 = 7 parts

Divide the quantity by 7 to find the value of one part of the ratio.

350 ÷ 7 = 50 ← value of 1 part of the ratio, thus

2 parts = 2 × 50 = 100

5 parts = 5 × 50 = 250

350 = 100 : 250 in the ratio 2 : 5
