Answer:

D. 20

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that ΔUVW is similar to ΔXYZ and we are asked to find the length of ZX.

Since both triangles are similar, so their corresponding sides will be proportional. We will use proportions to solve our given problem as:

$\frac{ZX}{WU}=\frac{XY}{UV}$

$\frac{ZX}{5}=\frac{12}{3}$

Now, we will multiply both sides of our equation by 5.

$\frac{ZX}{5}*5=\frac{12}{3}*5$

$ZX=4*5$

$ZX=20$

Therefore, the length of ZX is 20 units and option D is the correct choice.

In the diagram below what is the relationship between the number of rectangles in the perimeter of the figure they form?

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

the correct answer is the third one. (1, 16), (2, 20), (3, 24)

Step-by-step explanation:

A perimeter is a path that surrounds a two-dimensional shape.

In the first case, 1 rectangle, the perimeter is the sum of all the sides:

Perimeter = 6 + 2 + 6 + 2 = 16

In the second case, 2 rectangles, the perimeter is the sum of all external sides:

Perimeter = 6 + 2 + 2 + 6 + 2 + 2 = 20

In the third case, three rectangles, the perimeter is the sum of all external sides:

Perimeter = 6 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 6 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 24

In none of the cases, you take into consideration the interal sides. Just the external sides, so the correct answer is the third one.

How do you do this problem

Ainat [17]

So the problem has no symbols, but we're going to multiply because the fraction on the left is right next to the parentheses.

-5/2 * 1/10x = -5x/20

I put "x" next to the 5 because the "x" counts as part of the numerator. Now that it's 5x over 20 that equals one, I'd first reduce -5x/20 into -x/4, then do

-x/4 * -4 = 1 * -4

To make the "x" side equal one, we have to multiply both sides by -4, to make both sides equal.

x = -4.
