I would actually use division. So divide 56 by 8, and you'll get 7.
Or you can multiply 7 times 8 and get 56.
Hope this helps!

Answer:
5 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
When we draw out our triangle, we should see that we have a right triangle and we need to solve for a leg:
Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²
12² + b² = 13²
144 + b² = 169
b² = 25
b = 5
Answer:
The answer to this is A.) 8/17
Answer:
1) x = 8
2) ∠RPS = 36°
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>GIVEN :-</u>
- ∠QPS = 180°
- ∠QPR = 7x + 88
- ∠RPS = 3x + 12
<u>TO FIND :-</u>
- Value of x
- Measure of ∠RPS
<u>FACTS TO KNOW BEFORE SOLVING :-</u>
In a straight line , if there are two angles such that their sum is equal to straight angle (or 180° in other words) , then those angles are known as linear pair.
<u>PROCEDURE :-</u>
1)
Measure of ∠QPS = 180° and it comprises of ∠QPR & ∠RPS.
⇒ ∠QPR & ∠RPS are linear pair.
⇒ ∠QPR + ∠RPS = 180°
⇒ 7x + 88 + 3x + 12 = 180°
⇒ 10x + 100 = 180
⇒ 10x = 180 - 100 = 80
⇒ x = 80/10 = 8
2)
x = 8. So,
∠RPS = 3×8 + 12 = 24 + 12 = 36°
I got 65/153 since you actually multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
