Answer:
<u>x = 6</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Taking the sides in proportion :
- EB/DC = AB/AC
- 8/24 = -3 + 2x/27
- 1/3 = -3 + 2x/27
- 3(-3 + 2x) = 27
- -9 + 6x = 27
- 6x = 36
- <u>x = 6</u>
6561^1/2 (^1/2 means to the power of a half, which is the same as the square root)
9^2
3^4
Given:
land area of Alaska: 1,700,000 square kilometers
land area of Florida: 0.10 of Alaska
To find the land area of Florida, we multiply its decimal to the land area of Alaska
1,700,000 sq. km * 0.10 = 170,000 square kilometers.
The land area of Florida is 170,000 square kilometers. It is equal to 0.10 or 10% of the land area of Alaska.<span />
First you have to convert 1/10 into a decimal:
1/10= 0.1
Multiply 0.1 by 200:
0.1x200=20
So, 20 is 1/10 of 200.
