Answer:
x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
A line segment parallel to a side of a triangle and intersecting the other 2 sides divides the 2 sides in proportion, that is
= 
= 
( cross- multiply )
8(3x - 20) = 56
24x - 160 = 56 ( add 160 to both sides )
24x = 216 ( divide both sides by 24 )
x = 9
Hello!
I've attached the diagram.
For this problem, since you have a right triangle, you can use the Pythagorean Theorem to fine the length of the ladder (the hypotenuse of the triangle).
Pythagorean Theorem (where c is the hypotenuse):
a² + b² = c²
The triangle's leg lengths are 8 and 6; substitute into the theorem:
8² + 6² = c²
Simplify:
64 + 36 = c²
100 = c²
10 = c
Answer:
The length of the ladder is 10 m.
Answer:
22/24
ALL TOGETHER there is 24 donuts.
take half of 24, or 24 divided by 2, and you get 12.
so we know 12 of the donuts are vanilla with sprinkles.
then 2 had strawberry frosting and the rest had chocolate and sprinkles.
we took 12 away so we only have twelve left and if 2 of those 12 are strawberry with no sprinkles and the rest are chocolate WITH sprinkles, this means 10 are chocolate with sprinkles.
so 10 chocolate and sprinkles +12 vanilla and sprinkles=22 donuts with sprinkles out of 24 donuts total
