Your brother would be nine years old.
PQ // BC
then
Angle P = Angle B, A is common angle the two triangles are similar
AP/AB = AQ/AC
8/18 = 12/ AC
AC = 12 * 18/8 = 27 (your ans: D)
AQ + QC = AC
QC = AC - AQ = 27 - 12 = 15 (if it was required)
tan60 = y/8
y = s tan60 = 8sqrt(3) (B)
Next time, post each question separately.
Solve by back-calculating for the missing number . . . (58 - 7 - 14 + 3)/(5 × 2) = 4
Answer:
R = 26.
Step-by-step explanation:
The way to solve this is to add 5 to both sides.
Answer: 500 pieces of wheat
Explanation:
First: set up the proportion
Cookies:wheat = 8:2
Simplify = 4:1
We need to find how much wheat he needs for 2,000 cookies.
We need to assign a variable for wheat
Wheat = W
If Josh needs to make 2,000 cookies he would need W amount of wheat
Original proportion = 4:1
For 2,000 cookies = 2,000:W
To get from 4 to 2,000
2,000/4 = 500
So W/1 = 500
Isolate the variable:
w/1 (1) = 500/1
W = 500
