This will be your formula:
$\frac{32}{800} = \frac{120}{x}$
cross multiply (32 times x) (120 times 800)
this is what you'll get:

4. k/6 = 8/16 5. 5.4/7 = 27/h 6. 8/11 = 4/y+2

kupik [55]

Answer:

4. $k=3\\$

5. $h=35$

6. $\frac{7}{2}$ or 3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{k}{6}=\frac{8}{16}$

Multiply those 2 values whose diagonal has both terms and divide by the term whose diagonal has the variable.

$k=\frac{8*6}{16}\\ k=\frac{48}{16}\\ k=3$

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

$\frac{5.4}{7}=\frac{27}{h}$

$h=\frac{7*27}{5.4} \\h=\frac{189}{5.4}\\ h=35$

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

$\frac{8}{11}=\frac{4}{y+2}$

$y+2=\frac{11*4}{8}\\ y=\frac{11*4}{8}-2\\y=\frac{44}{8}-2 \\y=\frac{11}{2}-2\\ y=\frac{11-2*2}{2}\\ y=\frac{11-4}{2}\\ y=\frac{7}{2}=3.5$

Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the leg in the triangle shown below 12 15

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

9 = x (assuming 15 is the hypotenuse)

Step-by-step explanation:

15^2 = 12^2 + x^2

225 = 144 + x^2

subtract 144 from both sides

81 = x^2

square root both sides

9 = x
