Given Triangle ABC Is Similar To Triangle DEF , Calculate The Value Of BC. Picture Is Below

Answers

Answer 1

Hello! :)

Answer:

[tex]\huge\boxed{BC = 6.4 }[/tex]

Given ΔABC ~ ΔDEF, we can set up a proportion to solve for BC, where:

[tex]\frac{AC}{DF} = \frac{BC}{EF}[/tex]

Let BC = x:

[tex]\frac{8}{15} = \frac{x}{12}[/tex]

Cross multiply:

[tex]8 * 12 = 15 * x[/tex]

[tex]96 = 15x[/tex]

[tex]x = 6.4[/tex]

Therefore, BC = 6.4 units.

Hope this helped you!

Answers

Answer:

6x^2 + 15

Step-by-step explanation:

We don't know what the square of a number is, so we represent it as x^2

The first part tells us to find the product of 6 and the square of a number, so

6x^2

The second part tells us to add 15 so,

6x^2 + 15

The expression that should be represented is [tex]6x^2 + 15[/tex]

Given that

The product of 6.The square of number + 15.

Based on the above information,

Let us assume the number should be x

Step-by-step explanation:

The Vertex form of a quadratic equation is: y = a(x - h)² + k     where

a is the vertical stretch or shrink(x, h) is the vertex

A carpenter has a 10 1/2 foot wood plank. He cuts off 4 1/4 feet to replace a deck board as well as 3 2/3 feet to repair a step. He uses the rest of the plank for a shelf. How many feet of wood does the carpenter have for the shelf? PLEASE SHOW YOUR WORK AND EXPLAIN HOW YOU GOT THE ANSWER PLEASE I WILL MARK YOU BRAINIEST.

Answers

Answer:

The carpenter used 2 7/4 feet of plank for the shelf

Step-by-step explanation:

Total length of plank =10 1/2 foot

He used

For Deck board=4 1/4 feet

Step=3 2/3 feet

Shelf=x feet

Total plank=deck board + step + shelf

10 1/2 = 4 1/4 + 3 2/3 + x

Change the fractions

21/2 = 17/4 + 11/3 + x

Add 17/4 + 11/3

21/2 =51+44/12 + x

21/2= 95/12 + x

Collect like terms

21/2 - 95/12 =x

126-95/12 = x

31/12=x

2 7/12 =x

Therefore, the carpenter used 2 7/4 feet of plank for the shelf

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total length of plank =10 1/2 foot

He used

For Deck board=4 1/4

Step=3 2/3

Now, we divide. For this problem, we are only dividing the like terms of x because anything divided by 1 will equal to itself.

The tens digit of a two-digit number is three times greater than the ones digit. The difference between twice the original number and half the number obtained after reversing the digits is 108. What is the original number? Show your work.

Answers

Answer:

Now solve these two equations.ull get andwer

The original number will be "63".

Let,

The ten's digit be "x".One's digit be "y".

The equation will be:

→ [tex]x=y+3[/tex]...(equation 1)

Original number will be:

→ [tex]10x+y[/tex]

then,

→ [tex]2 (10x+y)-\frac{(10y+x)}{2} = 108[/tex]

→ [tex]\frac{4(10x+y)}{1} -(10y+x) = 216[/tex]

→ [tex]40x+4y-10y-x = 216[/tex]

→ [tex]39x-6y=216[/tex]...(equation 2)

By using (equation 1) and (equation 2), we get

→ [tex]39(y+3)-6y=216[/tex]

→ [tex]39y+117-6y=216[/tex]

→                   [tex]33y=99[/tex]

→                       [tex]y = \frac{99}{33}[/tex]

→                          [tex]= 3[/tex]

Now,

[tex]x = y+3[/tex]

  [tex]=3+3[/tex]

  [tex]=6[/tex]

 

hence,

The original number will be:

= [tex]10x+y[/tex]

= [tex]10\times 6+3[/tex]

= [tex]60+3[/tex]

= [tex]63[/tex]

Thus the above approach is right.

If AC = 40, find the length of JK.

Answers

Answer:

JK = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Δ BKJ and Δ BCA are similar triangles and ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

[tex]\frac{JK}{AC}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{BK}{BC}[/tex] , substitute values

[tex]\frac{JK}{40}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )

5JK = 120 ( divide both sides by 5 )

JK = 24

the triangles are all similar, because they have proportional sides and equal angles.

if you assume the smallest, equal part of side to be x

the biggest triangle has "5 parts" so BC=5x and BK has 3 parts so BK=3x .

since they're similar, ratio of their corresponding sides is constant or equal.

[tex] {BK\over BC}={JK \over AC}[/tex]

BK/BC=3/5

and AC=40

so JK = 40*3/5=24

While sailing, Jacob is 150 feet from a lighthouse. The angle of elevation from his feet on the boat (at sea level) to the top of the lighthouse is 48°

What can you conclude about the height of the lighthouse, with respect to Jacob's distance from the lighthouse? Explain your answer.

Answers

Answer:

The height of the lighthouse is approximately 166.6 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the lighthouse be represented by s, then;

Tan 48° = (opposite) ÷ (adjacent)

Tan 48° = s ÷ 150

⇒ s = 150 × Tan 48°

      = 150 × 1.1106

     = 166.59

s ≅ 166.6 feet

Therefore, the height of the lighthouse is approximately 166.6 feet.

Answer:

The height of the lighthouse is approximately 42.

Step-by-step explanation:

This situation forms a right triangle so the angles would be 90 and 48

90+48+x=180

138+x=180

x=180-138

x=42

The product of the geometric series  is 1/99.

The product is a geometric series with first term 1/3 and common ratio 2/3. The number of terms is 49. The sum of the series is 1/99.

Here's the explanation:

A geometric series is a series where each term is multiplied by a constant value to get the next term. The constant value is called the common ratio.

In this case, the first term is 1/3 and the common ratio is 2/3. This means that each term is multiplied by 2/3 to get the next term.

The number of terms in the series is 49. This means that there are 49 terms in the series, starting with 1/3 and ending with 97/99.

The sum of the series is 1/99. This can be found using the formula for the sum of a geometric series:

S = a × (1 - [tex]r^{n}[/tex]) / 1 - r

where a is the first term, r is the common ratio, and n is the number of terms.

In this case, a = 1/3, r = 2/3, and n = 49. Substituting these values into the formula, we get:

S = (1/3) × (1 - (2/3)49) / 1 - (2/3) = 1/99

Therefore, the product is 1/99.
