The answer is 144.

AC and CE have the same ratio as BA and DE. So you can get the answer by getting their proportions. 

<u>  84  </u> =  <u> 7 </u>
156-x     x 

Cross multiply, transpose, and simplify to get the variable x.

84x = 1092-7x
84x + 7x = 1092
91x = 1092
x = 12

To get AC, substitute. 

AC = 156 - x
AC = 156 - 12
AC = 144

Which equation can be used to solve for c?
AlladinOne [14]
From the given triangle in the photo, the lengths of the sides are 3m and a, the hypotenuse is c. One angle, opposite of 3m is given to be 50 degrees C. The right equation that would solve c is,
                                         sin (50 degrees C) = 3m / c
Thus, the answer is the first choice.

zaharov [31]

Using proportions, Nelly's total pay for last week was of £220.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three. Due to this, relations between variables, either direct or inverse proportional, can be built to find the desired measures in the problem.

From Monday to Friday, she worked 17 hours, hence:

  • For 15 hours, she was paid £8 per hour.
  • For the last 2 hours, she was paid £10 per hour.

On Saturday, she worked 5 hours, and was paid £16 per hour.

Hence her total payment is found as follows:

15 x 8 + 2 x 10 + 5 x 16 = £220.

What is the slant height x of the given pyramid to the nearest tenth
andreev551 [17]
The slant height, x, is 7.5 mm because you use the pythagorean formula and solve for c, since the you're solving for the hypotenuse which is the longest side.
