Answer:

B. 18 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because they are similar, we can say that segment AC corresponds to segment DF, and segment AB corresponds to segment ED. So, we can set up a proportion.

\frac{16}{24} =\frac{12}{x}

\frac{2}{3} =\frac{12}{x}

2 * x = 12 * 3

2x = 36

x = 18

So, the length of ED is B. 18 cm.

Hope this helps!

A lunch bill $12 before tax. If tax on the bill is 7.5%, what is the total cost of the lunch including tax?
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

$12.90

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, multiply the cost before tax with tax, and then add the number gotten to the original amount.

12 x 7.5% = 12 x 0.075 = 0.9

12 + 0.9 = 12.9

$12.90 is your answer.

In ΔRST, t = 4.1 inches, r = 7.1 inches and ∠S=45°. Find the length of s, to the nearest 10th of an inch.
dem82 [27]

Answer:

The length of s is 5.1 inches to the nearest tenth of an inch

Step-by-step explanation:

In Δ RST

∵ t is the opposite side to ∠T

∵ r is the opposite side to ∠R

∵ s is the opposite side to ∠S

→ To find s let us use the cosine rule

∴ s² = t² + r² - 2 × t × r × cos∠S

∵ t = 4.1 inches, r = 7.1 inches, and m∠S = 45°

→ Substitute them in the rule above

∴ s² = (4.1)² + (7.1)² - 2 × 4.1 × 7.1 × cos(45°)

∴ s² = 16.81 + 50.41 - 41.1677568

∴ s² = 26.0522432

→ Take √ for both sides

∴ s = 5.10413981

→ Round it to the nearest tenth

∴ s = 5.1 inches

∴ The length of s is 5.1 inches to the nearest tenth of an inch
