The 2 triangles formed are similar to the given triangle and to each other.
Δ ADB ~ Δ BDC
Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is
[tex]\frac{DB}{DC}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{AD}{BD}[/tex] , substitute values
[tex]\frac{10}{4x}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{x}{10}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )
4x² = 100 ( divide both sides by 4 )
x² = 25 ( take the square root of both sides )
x = [tex]\sqrt{25}[/tex] = 5

A contractor purchases ceramic tile to remodel a kitchen floor. Each tile cost $4 and the adhesive/grouting material costs $17.82. If the contractor pays a total of $545.82 how many ceramic tiles did the contractor purchase
Answers
Answer:
132 tiles
Step-by-step explanation:
Each tile cost $4
The adhesive/grouting material costs $17.82.
If the contractor pays a total of $545.82
Let the number of tiles be represented as x
The equation is represented as:
$17.82 + $4 × x = $545.82
17.82 + 4x = 545.82
Collect like terms
4x = 545.82 - 17.82
4x = 528
Divide bother sides by 4
4x/4 = 528/4
x = 132
The number of ceramic tiles the contractor bought = 132 tiles
An ant with a mass of 4 x 10-6 kg is carrying a bread crumb back to its anthill . The bread crumb has a mass of 8 x 10-5 kg. The mass of the bread crumb is how many times the mass of the ant?
Answers
Answer:
Mass of bread crumb is 20 times the mass of the ant..
Step-by-step explanation:
Mass of an ant = [tex]4\times 10^{-6}[/tex] kg
Ant carries a weight of bread crumb to its anthill.
Mass of the bread crumb = [tex]8\times 10^{-5}[/tex] kg
Ratio of their masses,
[tex]\frac{\text{Mass of the ant}}{\text{Mass of bread crumb}}=\frac{4\times 10^{-6}}{8\times 10^{-5}}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{\text{Mass of the ant}}{\text{Mass of bread crumb}}=\frac{1}{2\times 10^{(-5+6)}}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{\text{Mass of the ant}}{\text{Mass of bread crumb}}=\frac{1}{20}[/tex]
Mass of the bread crumb = 20×(Mass of the ant)
Therefore, mass of the bread crumb is 20 times the mass of the ant.

A shop owner offered a 20% discount off the regular price of a mirror. The amount of the discount is $5. What is the regular price of the mirror?
Answers
Answer:
25 dollars
Step-by-step explanation:
If 20 percent of the initial price was 5, you can create the equation:
0.2x=5, with x being the regular price.
Multiply both sides by 5:
x=25
Answer:
25$
Step-by-step explanation:
20/100 can be rounded down to 1/5 meaning all you have to do is multiply 5 by 5
5 times 5 is 25
25$ was the original price

a water turck is filling a swiming pool. the euqation that represents this relationship is y = 19.75x where y is the number of gallons of water in the pool and x is the number of minutes the truck has been filling the pool choose true or false for each statement
Answers
Answer:
TrueStep-by-step explanation:
Given the expression
y = 19.75x
let us see the solution from this angle
we know that
speed=distance/time
distance=speed*time
i.e quantity=rate*time
y = 19.75x
y=the quantity =number of gallons
19.5= the rate of flow
therefore
x= the time in minutes
Think About the Process The length of a rectangle is twice the width. The area of the rectangle is 9
square units. Notice that you can divide the rectangle into two squares with equal area. How can you
estimate the side length of each square? Estimate the length and width of the rectangle.
Answers
Answer:
The side length of each square is 2.12 units.
The length ad width of the rectangle are 2.12 and 4.24 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the width of the rectangle is x,
So, the length of the rectangle is 2x.
Area of the rectangle = 9 sq. units
[tex]9 = 2x \times x[/tex] [as area = length x width]
[tex]\Rightarrow 9 = 2x^2[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow x^2 = \frac{9}{2}=4.5[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow x = 1.5\sqrt{2}=2.12[/tex] units
So, width of the rectangle, x= 2.12 units and
the llengthof the rectangle, 2x= 2 x 2.12= 4.24 units.
After division of the rectangle into two equal square, so, the area of each square will be half of the area of the rectangle.
The area of the rectangle = 9/2=4.5 square units.
Let a be the length of the sides of the square, so
Area [tex]= a^2[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow a^2=4.5[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow[/tex] [tex]a = 1.5\sqrt{2}=2.121[/tex]
Hence, the side length of each square = 2.12 units.

Find the exact value for csc225°
Answers
Answer:
[tex]-\sqrt2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
csc 225 degrees is the multiplicative inverse of sin 225 degrees. sin 225 degrees. We can use a unit circle with radius of 1 to find out sin 225 degrees. a 225 degree rotation counter clockwise is equivalent to a 180 degree turn followed by a 45 degree turn. Therefore, the final value is going to be in the third quadrant, a 45 degree turn in. This means that sin(225 degrees) = [tex]-\sqrt2/2[/tex] The multiplicative inverse of that is [tex]-\sqrt2[/tex]

Find the y-intercept of the equation y = -0.5x - 3
Answers
Answer: -3
Step-by-step explanation: When you graph this that’s what you get
Answer:
-3
Step-by-step explanation:
the y intercept is when x is 0 on the graph. Since you know x has to be zero, you can substitute x for 0 in the equation:
y = -0.5x0 -3
Now you can ignore that first part of the equation because it equates to 0, and so you get:
y= 0 - 3
which equals:
y=-3
Solve the equation using the Properties of Equality.
