Ok so it's a proportion so this fraction is to this fraction. the smaller rectangle has sides 4 and 12. the larger one has 8 and x. so u set it up 4/12=8/x. the 4 and 8 r both the short sides so u want those on top and 12 and x r long sides so those on bottom. since that is not an answer option u can set it up as 8/4=x/12 because u still keep the variables of the same rectangle from being multipled with each other. so answer #2 is correct
Assuming you don't know the exact numbers, we can sequentially figure out the number of inches in a mile and seconds in a day
Inches in a mile:
There are 5280 feet in a mile.
5280*12 = 63360 inches in a mile
Seconds in a day:
There are 24 hours in a day
There are 24*60 = 1440 minutes in a day
There are 1440*60 = 86400 seconds in a day
There are more seconds in a day than inches in a mile.
Answer:
It is an acute triangle.
Step-by-step explanation:
It would be much easier for you to see where I'm getting at if you draw a diagram.
Assume this triangle is labelled ABC where a = 14, b = 21, and c = 16.
cos A = (16^2 + 21^2 - 14^2)/(2(16)(21))
∠A = cos^-1(0.82291...)
∠A ≅ 34.6°
cos B = 16^2 + 14^2 - 21^2)/(2(16)(14))
∠B = cos^-1(0.024...)
∠B ≅ 56.8°
∠C = 180 - (∠A + ∠B)
∠C ≅ 56.8°
Since there is no right-angle nor is there an obtuse angle,
Therefore the triangle is an acute triangle.
