Step-by-step explanation:
are you talking about like 24/7 ? or you mean like divide 24÷7 ?
x=2.5
5x = 5(2.5) = 12.5
I believe 12.5 is the answer
You can use a tangent:
We have opposite = 17 and adjacent = x.
substitute:
cross multiply
multiply both sides by √3
divide both sides by 3
Use the Pythagorean theorem:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other method.
triangle.
The sides are in the ratio 
Therefore
First expand it
Next subtract 14 - 2x + 4x so it can be 14 + 2x
Next subtract 14 from both sides
Next subtract 20 - 14 so it can be 6
Then divide both sides by 2
And lastly reduce the fraction 6/2 and once u reduce it u have your answer which is x = 3.
The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.
As a part of city building refurbishment project, architects have constructed a scale model of several city builidings to present to the city commission for approval. The scale of the model is 1 inch = 9 feet.
The model includes a new park in the center of the city. If the dimensions of the park in the model are 9 inches by 17 inches, what are the actual dimensions of the park?
Answer: 81 feet by 153 feet
Step-by-step explanation: <u>Unit</u> <u>Scale</u> is a ratio comparing actual dimensions of an object to the dimensions of model representing the actual object.
In the refurbishment project, the unit scale is given by
1 inch = 9 feet
So, the dimensions of the new park in actual dimensions would be
1 inch = 9 feet
9 inches = x
x = 9.9
x = 81 feet
1 inch = 9 feet
17 inches = y
y = 17.9
y = 153 feet
The actual dimensions of the new park are 81 feet by 153 feet.
