You would set up a proportion. 3/8 = 6/x... cross multiply ( 3*x = 3x and 6*8 = 48)  3x = 48... divide both sides by 3 (3x/3 = x and 48/3 = 16)

So, she originally had 16 feet of ribbon.

The two triangles are similar what is the value of x? <br> x=___
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

What we have to know is that when two triangles are similar their sides will always be proportional. So we will create a proportion that goes like this...\frac{\Delta1side}{\Delta1base} =\frac{\Delta2side}{\Delta2base} but since it doesn't tell us the exact value of triangle 1. We will have to add 3 and 12 to get 15 which is the base of the first triangle. Now we're ready to write the proportion.

\frac{4x}{15}=\frac{3x+1}{12}

Now we cross multiply and solve the equation...

48x=15(3x+1)\\48x=45x+15\\3x=15\\x=5

So the value of x is 5.

As we all know: A=A, B=B, mx=mx, nothing changes.

So the answer is D

I need help please.
Rudiy27

Answer:

0.167, 0.164, 0.16

Step-by-step explanation:

In decimals, the closer it is to 1 the larger it gets. 0.167 is smaller than 0.164 because 0.164 is closer to one, which makes it greater.
