X is 31
The triangles are similar so each angle measure is exactly the same. It is just the side lengths that change.
Euro tunnel : - 115 (115 m below sea level of 0)
-115 = S - 50
-115 + 50 = S
- 65 = S....the sea bed is -65 m (or 65 m below sea level
I'm sorry but the solution you proposed was a bit hard to follow, so I'll just post my solution: we convert "2 and 1/2" to a single fraction:
So, we know that 5/2 gallons cost 60 dollars, which means
To find the cost of a single gallon, we have to solve the equation for g:
Let's start by calculating how many students does 24% represent.
24% * 24 = 0.24 * 24 = 5.76
We got a decimal number as solution. The reason why exactly 24% students can't be in the play is because this percentage does not represent whole number of students. She can't take 0.76 students
If she wanted 25% students to be in a play it would mean she has to take:
25% * 24 = 0.25 *24 = 6 students
The simpliest way is to use the AAS Postulate.
AAS Postulate: If two angles and the non-included side of one triangle are equal to the corresponding angles and side of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.
From the diagram you have:
1. one pair of angles with measure 40°;
2. one pair of angles with measure 60°;
3. the non-included side of one triangle is congruent to the non-included side of another triangle (their lengths are 10).
Answer: correct choice is D (AAS)
