Answer: The answer is D
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's start with what we know:
Smaller canvas:
Length (

) = 3ft
Width (

) = 5ft
Larger canvas:
Length (

) = ?
Width (

) = 10ft
Since these are similar rectangles, we can cross-multiply to calculate the missing length. Here's that formula:

So let's plug it all in from above:

Now we cross multiply by multiplying the top-left by the bottom-right and vice versa:


Now divide each side by 5 to isolate


The 5s on the right cancel out, leaving us with:

So the length of the larger canvas is
6 ft
If you would like to know in which step did the student first make an error and what is the correct step, you can calculate this using the following steps:
3(2x - 4) = 8 + 2x + 6
6x - 12 = 8 + 2x + 6
6x - 12 = 14 + 2x ... Step 2
6x - 2x = 14 + 12
4x = 26
x = 26/4 = 13/2
The correct result would be Step 2; <span>6x - 12 = 14 + 2x.</span>
All of the angles in a triangle add up to 180°.

The missing angle is 146°
