The answer to this problem

x = 12°

y = 1.4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Because the two triangles are similar, their corresponding angles are congruent.

so

3x + 14 = 50

Subtract 14 from both sides

3x = 36

Divide both sides by 3

x = 12

x = 12° (remember units)

Check work:

3(12) + 14 = 50

36 + 14 = 50

50 = 50

2. Because the two triangles are similar, their corresponding sides are in equal proportion.

Two sides of triangle ABE are

5.6 and 4

And two corresponding sides of triangle ACD are

5.6 + y and 5

So

5.6 / 4 = (5.6 + y) / 5

Cross multiply

5.6 * 5 = 4(5.6 + y)

Multiply 5.6 * 5 on the left

28 = 4(5.6 + y)

Distribute the 4 to each term

28 = 4*5.6 + 4*y

Simplify the right side

28 = 22.4 + 4y

Subtract 22.4 from both sides

5.6 = 4y

Divide by 4 on both sides

1.4 = y

y = 1.4 cm (remember units)

Check our work:

5.6/4 = (5.6 + 1.4)/5

1.4 = 7/5

1.4 = 1.4

54 kilometers per hour

step-by-step explanation:

according to rules:

1 km = 1000 meter

which means that 1 meter = 1/1000 km

1 hour = 3600 second [ as 1 hour = 60 min = 60 *60 seconds ]

which means that 1 second = 1/3600 hour

therefore, 1 kilometer/hour =

thus to convert 15 meter per second to kilometer per hour, we multiply 15 to 3.6 kilometer/hour.

15 meter/second=   which is the required answer.

a is 8.b is 10.c is 10.5. d is -.5

step-by-step explanation:

just minus the smallest number from the biggest.
