Answer:
when I worked it out I actually got -1466...
Step-by-step explanation:
Using order of operations you would multiply the 2 by 742, then subtract from left to right. 2 x 742 =1484 and 30 minus that is -1454. Subtracting 12 would give you -1466. I know that's not in the answer choices but that's what I got...
Given:
ΔABC 
ΔDEF
To find:
The length of median CP
Solution:
In ΔABC,
AP = 12, BP = 12 and PC = 3x - 12
In ΔDEF,
DQ = 16, QE = 16 and FQ = 2x + 8
If two triangles are similar, then their median is proportional to the corresponding sides.
Do cross multiplication.
Add 192 on both sides.
Subtract 24x from both sides.
Divide by 24 on both sides.
⇒ 12 = x
Substitute x = 12 in CP.
CP = 3(12) - 12
= 36 - 12
= 24
The length of median CP is 24.
You just add the thickness of the 2 books which is 237+3.56=240.56
Then you round the hundredth place which is 5 and next to it is the number 6 and that’s 5+ so it’s going up by a number. The answer is 240.6 inches tall. I tried explaining it well so sorry if you didn’t understand.
Did you mean 9 - 20 will if u did it equals up to -11
