Answer:

C) y = 16 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

the corresponding sides in ABCD are equal to their corresponding sides by EFGH multiplied by something

all values are in feet

let x represent the unknown side in ABCD

ABCD lengths in order: x, 30 , 40 , 60

let a and b represent the unknown sides in EFGH

EFGH lengths in order: 6, 12, a, b

thus, 30 corresponds to 12 as they are both the second shortest sides

corresponding side in EFGH * something = corresponding side in ABCD

12 * something = 30

let something be r

12 * r = 30

divide both sides by 12 to isolate r

r = 30/12

thus, to get a side in ABCD, we multiply the corresponding side in EFGH by 30/12

we want to find the second longest side in EFGH. the corresponding side to that in ABCD is 40, as 40 is the second longest side in ABCD

let the second longest side in EFGH = y

y * 30/12 = 40

multiply both sides by 12/30 to isolate y

40 * 12 / 30 = y = 16

y = 16 feet

All direct proportional graphs go through the origin (0,0). So this is where one point could go. The second point is found by going up 5 units and then to the right 3 units to get to (3,5)

<h3>Draw a straight line through (0,0) and (3,5) to graph</h3>

The equation of this line is y = (5/3)x

The three angles in a triangle are in the ratio 3:5:7. Find the largest angle in the triangle?
Rzqust [24]

Answer: The largest angle is 7x

Step-by-step explanation:

Their sum is 180, so

3x + 5x + 7x = 180

5x = 180 --> x = 12

The largest angle is 7x, which is 7(12) = 84
