(5 Neighbors) x (($1.00 Box) + (? Plant) + ($3.00 Gloves)) = 42.50

5 x (1 + x + 3) = 42.50

Combine in parens.

5 x (4 + x) = 42.50

Distribute.

20 + 5x = 42.50

Subtract 20 from both sides.

5x = 22.50

Divide both sides by 5.

x = 4.50

Thats the cost of each plant.

Check.

5 x (1 + 4.50 + 3)

5 x 8.50 = 42.50

Daniel [21]

Answer:

B. BC = 18 so ∆ABC ～ ∆DEF by SAS

Step-by-step explanation:

$\bf \cfrac{AB}{DE} = \cfrac{BC}{EF}$

$\bf \cfrac{15}{10} = \cfrac{BC}{12}$
$\bf \cfrac{3}{2} = \cfrac{BC}{12}$
$\bf BC = \cfrac{3}{2} \times 12$
$\bf 3 \times 6$
$\bf BC = 18$
$\bf \angle B = \angle \: E$

So, ∆ABC ～ ∆DEF by SAS.

Amanda is building a soft triangular kennel for her dog. She has four wooden planks of lengths 2 feet, 3 feet, 5 feet, and 6 fee

viva [34]

Answer:

3 ft, 5ft, 6ft

Step-by-step explanation:

To build a kennel of my dog, I would try to make it the largest possible with what I have.

So, I would go with the 3 longest planks: 3ft, 5ft and 6ft.

By looking at the length, I see I could make something very close to a right triangle since I could use the 6ft as an hypotenuse, and have the two other sides as 3ft and 5 ft (6² is almost 3²+5², which equal 34).

That means my corner angle would be slightly over 90 degrees.
