I got B but I'll show you how I got that answer.

Let's look at AB and BC. AB = 3 and BC = 4.
3/4 = 0.75

On the triangle, AB = 90. And BC = 10x - 20. We need to solve for x and prove that AB/BC = 0.75.

Let's start with Choice A.

10(11) - 20 = 90.

AB = 90
BC = 90.

90/90 = 1. It doesn't equal 0.75. Meaning this answer is wrong.

Now let's look at Choice B.

10(14) - 20 = 120.

AB = 90
BC = 120

90/120 = 0.75

So, 3:4 = 90:120 making Choice B the correct Answer. Let me know if this is correct

In recent year a letter to Europe from the United States cost $0.94 to mail. A letter mailed within United States cost $0.44. Na
Bogdan [553]
3 letters to US = 3*0.94 = 2.82
2 local letters = 2*0.44 =  0.88 
checking: 2.82+0.88 = 3.70

to get rid out of 0.04 cents you have to multiply it by 5. so total number of letters would be 5.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean theorem is

x^2+y^2=z^2

So solving for z

z=sqrt(x^2+y^2)

z=sqrt(9^2+12^2)
