5) A manufacturer produces paperweights composed of two congruent triangles as shown. The length of the hypotenuse is
A. 6
B. 8
C. 10

The total length of the base of the paperweight is
A. 6
B. 8
C. 10​

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, both the triangles of the paperweight are congruent,

Their corresponding sides will be congruent.

3x + 2.5 = 4

3x = 4 - 2.5

x = 0.5

Similarly, 2y - 5 = 3x + y

2y - y = 3x + 5

y = 3x + 5

y = 3(0.5) + 5

y = 1.5 + 5

y = 6.5

Total length of the hypotenuse = 2y - 5

                                                    = 2(6.5) - 5

                                                    = 13 - 5

                                                    = 8

Option B is the answer.

Total length of the base = (3x + 2.5) + 4

                                        = 3x + 6.5

                                        = 3(0.5) + 6.5

                                        = 8

Option B is the answer.

answer: solve 5\cdot 2^x=2405⋅2  

x

=2405, dot, 2, start superscript, x, end superscript, equals, 240.

solution

to solve for xxx, we must first isolate the exponential part. to do this, divide both sides by 555 as shown below. we do not multiply the 555 and the 222 as this goes against the order of operations!

\begin{aligned} 5\cdot 2^x& =240 2^x& =48 \\ \end{aligned}
