The answer should be 14.
You just have to substitute x with the given number and finish the equation.
To prove a similarity of a triangle, we use angles or sides.
In this case we use angles to prove
∠ACB = ∠AED (Corresponding ∠s)
∠AED = ∠FDE (Alternate ∠s)
∠ABC = ∠ADE (Corresponding ∠s)
∠ADE = ∠FED (Alternate ∠s)
∠BAC = ∠EFD (sum of ∠s in a triangle)
Now we know the similarity in the triangles.
But it is necessary to write the similar triangle according to how the question ask.
The question asks " ∆ABC is similar to ∆____. " So we find ∠ABC in the prove.
∠ABC corressponds to ∠FED as stated above.
∴ ∆ABC is similar to ∆FED
Similarly, if the question asks " ∆ACB is similar to ∆____. "
We answer as ∆ACB is similar to ∆FDE.
Answer is ∆ABC is similar to ∆FED.
We know that 20% of the first type of juice is pure fruit juice and 45% of second type of juice is pure fruit juice.
Now we have to make 30 pints of a mixture that is 35% pure.
Let x be the number of pints of first type of juice and y be the number of pints of second type of juice.
So, (Equation 1)
Since, 20% of x + 45% of y = 35.3% of 30
(Equation 2)
Solving equations 1 and 2,
we get y=18 and x=12.
So, 12 pints of first type of juice and 18 pints of second type of juice are used.
