Answer:
11.4
Step-by-step explanation:
So we know that Triangle ACB is similar to Triangle EFD.
This means that their sides are proportional to each other.
We want to find x or side AB. To do so, we can set up a proportion.
The proportional side to AB is ED. Let's also use BC since we know its value. The proportional side to BC is DF. Thus:
Substitute x for AB, 3.8 for Ed, 15 for BC, and 5 for DF. Thus:
Reduce the right:
Cross multiply:
So, the value of x is 11.4
And we're done!
The expression for five groups of a number added to seventeen.
Let the number be X
Five groups of the number will be 5X
The required expression will be
5(X) +17
Given width is 24 less than length.
W=L-24
Perimeter = 2(W+L)=2(L-24+L)=4L-48
But we're also given perimeter = 172'
Therefore 4L-48=172
solve for L
4L=172+48=220
L=55'
W=55-24 = 31'
Check: Perimeter = 2(W+L)=2(31+55)=2*86=172' good!
Answer: The dimensions of the garden are 31' * 55'
