Hello there!

Just use algebra and cross multiply :)

14/12 = d/48

(14 * 48) = 12d
672 = 12d
56 = d

You can check this by plugging 56 for d and simplifying the two fractions to see if they are equal.

14/12 = 7/6
56/48 = 7/6

So, d=56 is correct.

Hope this helps!

a 28 inch piece of steel is cut into three pieces so that the second piece is twice as long as the first piece, and the third pi

klasskru [66]

Where x is the length of the first piece
$x + 2x + 6x + 1 = 28 \\ \\ 9x = 27 \\ \\ x = 3$
so the first piece is 3 inches, the second is 6 inches and the third is 19 inches

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle shown has all 3 sides equal in length, hence it is an equilateral triangle.

A property of equilateral triangles is the angles are congruent.

The sum of the 3 angles = 180°, hence the measure of each angle is

$\frac{180}{3}$ = 60° → A
