Since Emily is walking at a constant speed, we can solve this using proportions, equating ratios of distance/time.
The first ratio is 3/4 miles/1/4 hour
The second ratio is 1 mile/ x hour
Equating the two ratios: 3/4 / 1/4 = 1/x
3 = 1/x
x = 1/3 hour
As they are similar figures,we can use the ratio of the side to find out the value of z.
The only side that both have the value indicated is 4 and 6,therefore we would use it to find the ratio.
The eqaution would be:
6/4 = z/8
3/2 = z/8
3×8 = 2z
z = 24/2
z = 12
Thus the value of z is 12.
Hope it helps!
I just took the test and the answer is
Answer:
5 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
A=a+b/2*h
40=10+6/2*h
40=8h
h=5
