Use the left and right triangles. (the two smaller ones -- ACD and BCD)
By similar triangles ACD is similar to BCD
on the left AD/CD is one ratio
On the right CD/DB is the other. These two ratios are equal because they are corresponding parts.
AD / CD = CD / DB
AD = 3
DB = 12
CD = ??
Substitute.
3/CD = CD/12 Cross multiply
36 = CD^2
sqrt(36) = sqrt(CD^2)
CD = 6 <<<<==== Answer.
A <<<<====Answer.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
$0.30
Step-by-step explanation:
1 bar of candy = $0.20
3 bars of candy = $0.50
To solve, multiply for both:
If you pay for each candy bar individually, they each cost $0.20. Multiply 9 with 0.20:
9 x 0.20 = $1.80
If you pay for the candy bars by 3's, they cost $0.50 each pack. Divide 9 with 3, then multiply by 0.50:
9/3 = 3
3 x 0.50 = $1.50
Subtract the total cost of the individual from the pack:
$1.80 - $1.50 = $0.30
. $0.30 is your answer.
