The two triangles are similar. What is the value of x? Enter your answer in the box. x = Two right triangles, one smaller than t

he other, back to back, so that their right angles form a straight angle. The two acute angles along the straight angle are congruent to each other. The overlapping part of the legs is labeled 8. The part of the overlapping side that extends above the smaller triangle is labeled 6. The leg of the smaller triangle that is a ray of the straight angle is labeled 2 x minus 2. The leg of the larger angle that is a ray of the straight angle is labeled 3 x.

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

For better understanding of the solution see the attached figure :

Given : AD = 6 units , BD = 8 units, m∠ABC = m∠DBE = 90° and               ∠DEB ≅ ∠ACB

Now, AB = AD + BD

               = 8 + 6 = 14 units

In ΔABC and ΔDBE,

∠DBE = ∠ABC ( Each of 90° )

∠DEB = ∠ACB ( Both angles are congruent to each other )

So, By using AA postulate of similarity of triangles , ΔABC ~ ΔDBE

So, proportion of the corresponding sides will be equal.

\implies \frac{AB}{DB}=\frac{BC}{BE}=\frac{AC}{DE}\\\\\implies \frac{AB}{DB}=\frac{BC}{BE}\\\\\implies \frac{14}{8}=\frac{3\cdot x}{2\cdot x-2}\\\\\implies 28\cdot x-28=24\cdot x\\\implies 4\cdot x=28\\\implies x=7

Hence, x = 7

. For each of these intervals, list all its elements or explain why it is empty. a) [a, a] b) [a, a) c) (a, a] d) (a, a) e) (a,
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

Elements are of the form

 (i) [a,a]=\{[x,y] : a\leq x\leq a, a\leq y\leq a; a\in \mathbb R\}

(ii) [a,b)=\{[x,y) :a\leq x

(iii)(a,a]=\{(x,y] :a

(iv)(a,a)=\{(x,y): a

(v) (a,b) where a>b=\{(x,y) : a>x>b,a>y>b;a>b,a,b \in \mathbb R\}

(vi) [a,b] where a>b=\{[x,y] : a\geq x\geq b,a\geq y\geq b;a>b,a,b \in \mathbb R\}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given intervals are,

(i) [a,a] (ii) [a,a) (iii) (a,a] (iv) (a,a) (v) (a,b) where a>b (vi)  [a,b] where a>b.

To show all its elements,

(i) [a,a]

Imply the set including aa from left as well as right side.

Its elements are of the form.

\{[a,a] : a\in \mathbb R\}=\{[0,0],[1, 1],[-1,-1],[2,2],[-2,-2],[3,3],[-3,-3],........\}

Since there is a singleton element a of real numbers, this set is empty.

Because there is no increment so if a\in \mathbb R then the set  [a,a] represents singleton sets, and singleton sets are empty so is [a,a].

(ii) [a,a)

This means given interval containing a by left and exclude a by right.

Its elements are of the form.

[ 1, 1),[-1,-1),[2,2),[-2,-2),[3,3),[-3,-3),........

Since there is a singleton element a of real numbers withis the set, this set is empty.

Because there is no increment so if a\in \mathbb R then the set  [a,a) represents singleton sets, and singleton sets are empty so is [a.a).

(iii) (a,a]

It means the interval not taking a by left and include a by right.

Its elements are of the form.

( 1, 1],(-1,-1],(2,2],(-2,-2],(3,3],(-3,-3],........

Since there is a singleton element a of real numbers, this set is empty.

Because there is no increment so if a\in \mathbb R then the set  (a,a] represents singleton sets, and singleton sets are empty so is (a,a].

(iv) (a,a)

Means given set excluding a by left as well as right.

Since there is a singleton element a of real numbers, this set is empty.

Its elements are of the form.

( 1, 1),(-1,-1],(2,2],(-2,-2],(3,3],(-3,-3],........

Because there is no increment so if a\in \mathbb R then the set  (a,a) represents singleton sets, and singleton sets are empty, so is (a,a).

(v) (a,b) where a>b.

Which indicate the interval containing a, b such that increment of x is always greater than increment of y which not take x and y by any side of the interval.

That is the graph is bounded by value of a and it contains elements like it we fixed a=5 then,

(a,b)=\{(5,0),(5,1),(5,2).....\} e.t.c

So this set is connected and we know singletons are connected in \mathbb R. Hence given set is empty.

(vi) [a,b] where a\leq b.

Which indicate the interval containing a, b such that increment of x is always greater than increment of y which include both x and y.

That is the graph is bounded by value of a and it contains elements like it we fixed a=5 then,

[a,b]=\{[5,0],[5,1],[5,2].....\} e.t.c

So this set is connected and we know singletons are connected in \mathbb R. Hence given set is empty.

zimovet [89]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The square root of 20 is √(2 * 2 * 5) which is 2√5  Not so

√5 does not terminate and there is no pattern to the decimal. √5 is irrational.

Neither one is correct.

How much of the 8% solution should we use to make 100g of a 3% solution?
sp2606 [1]
Suppose x grams of 8% solution should be mixed to make 100 g of 3% solution.
here we shall have:
the amount of 3% solution in the 100 g will be:
3/100*100=3 grams
the the equation will be, 8% of what quantity becomes 3g?
(8/100)*x=3
hence solving for x we shall have:
0.08x=3
x=3/0.08
x= 37.8 grams
The implication of this is that, when you have 37.5 grams of 8% solution, that will contain 3  of pure chemical and hence when you add more solvent on top of 37.5 g until you reach 100g, that will be 3% solution.
