Again, nice problem. These are not super easy. You need to imagine the triangles in the figure and relate sides.

For instance: ADC, its hypotenuse is 15

For ABC, it is 20,

so 20/15 is the ratio between both triangles. Now let's choose the side with 'x'

x is one side of ADC, the corresponding side in ABC is 15 (the second longest sides). You need to rotate the triangles, etc ... That's the tricky part :)

So:

20/15 =15/x ----> x = 15*15/20 = 225/20 = 45/4

Which is C

Not sure whether it's too late to help you though!!!!

Also notice that it's kind of a product rule:

x * 20 = 15 * 15

I am sure the book explains a short way of getting to this equation, like sides opposite, blah blah, but what i told you is the reason. You asked for understanding it! Best luck!

How to write an improper fraction as a mixed number or whole number?
qaws [65]
See how many times the denominator goes into the numerator. For example, with 24/8, 8 goes into 24 three times, so 24/8 is 3. If I had 25/8, then it would be 3 1/8 because you have one left over after you divide the 8 into 25.

Find the area of the figure.
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

55 sq meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of big triangle 7x5=35/2

but there's two big triangle so 35/2 x 2 =35

area of small triangle 5x4=20/2 10

10 x 2 =20. And then combine 20+35=55

So the area is 55 sq meters.
