Answer:
D. 9
Step-by-step explanation:
The segment lengths are equal, so ...
x^2 = 90-x
x^2 +x -90 = 0 . . . . . . add x-90 to put in standard form
(x +10)(x -9) = 0 . . . . . factor
The solutions are the values of x that make the factors zero: -10, 9.
The positive value of x is 9.
a) Corresponding angles of similar figures are congruent, so 
b) Scale factor = (image)/(preimage). Since we are looking for ABCD to WZYX, this means that WZYX is the image and ABCD is the preimage. Thus, the scale factor is 
c) Since the scale factor is 5/2,

Hey there! :)
Answer:
First part: 2 miles.
Second part: 45 minutes
Third part: 8 mph.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can divide this question into 3 parts.
Begin by solving for the distance traveled after 15 minutes by creating a ratio:

Cross multiply:
20 · 15 = 150 · x
300 = 150x
300/150 = 150x/150
x = 2 miles.
2nd part: How long it took her to ride 6 miles.
Set up another ratio similar to the one used before:

Cross multiply:
20 · x = 6 · 150
20x = 900
20x/20 = 900/20
x = 45 minutes.
3rd part:
For this part, we will need to convert from minutes to hours.

Therefore, her speed is 8 mph.
