Answer: B) $\frac{AB}{CD}=\frac{AX}{CX}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Triangle CDX is similar to triangle ABX.

Then, CD is corresponding to AB

DX is corresponding to BX

CX is corresponding to AX

We know that in similar triangles, the corresponding sides are proportional .

Therefore, we have

$\frac{AB}{CD}=\frac{BX}{DX}=\frac{AX}{CX}$

Thus, from the given options, the proportion can be used to find the length of side CD is $\frac{AB}{CD}=\frac{AX}{CX}$

Which value of p makes the equation 18+ 2 (3p – 8) = –37 true?

Volgvan

Answer:

p = -6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

18+ 2 (3p – 8) = –37

Solving for p:

18+ 2 (3p – 8) = –37
18 + 6p - 16 = -37
6p + 2 = -37
6p = -37 - 2
6p = -39
p = -39/6
p = -6.5

Option 2 is correct in the list

Your family is installing a new square pool in the backyard. The existing patio has a side length of 8 feet. How much of the pat

trasher [3.6K]

The question is an illustration of perimeters.

The amount of patio to remove to install the pool is 8 feet.

From the question, we have:

$\mathbf{Length\ of\ the\ pool = 8}$

$\mathbf{Length\ of\ walkway = 1}$

The perimeter of the patio is:

$\mathbf{P_p = 4 \times Length\ of\ the\ pool}$

$\mathbf{P_p = 4 \times 8}$

$\mathbf{P_p = 32}$

A 1ft walkway means that;

1ft would be subtracted from both sides of the patio before installing the pool

So, the perimeter of the patio in terms of the length of the pool is:

$\mathbf{P_p = 4 \times (x +2)}$

Equate both expressions

$\mathbf{P_p = P_p}$

$\mathbf{4 \times (x +2) = 32}$

Divide both sides by 4

$\mathbf{x +2 = 8}$

Subtract 2 from both sides

$\mathbf{x = 6}$

So, the perimeter of the pool is:

$\mathbf{P_{pool} = 4 \times 6}$

$\mathbf{P_{pool} = 24}$

The amount of patio to remove is:

$\mathbf{Amount = P_p - P_{pool}}$

So, we have:

$\mathbf{Amount = 32 - 24}$

$\mathbf{Amount = 8}$

Hence, 8ft of the patio would be removed to install the pool
