Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Δ CED and Δ CAB are similar thus the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is
= 
, substitute values
= 
= 
( cross- multiply )
12x = 156 - x ( add x to both sides )
13x = 156 ( divide both sides by 13 )
x = 12
Thus
AC = 156 - x = 156 - 12 = 144 → D
Add 7 to both sides
3x + 12 = 7x
Subtract 3x
12 = 4x
Divide by 4
x = 3
4+2x = x (x = student in smaller group)
4 + 2x + x = 28 (total # of students)
4+ 3x = 28
3x = 24
x = 8
8 students in the smaller group
4 + 2(8) = 20 students in the larger group
Answer:
19\2
Step-by-step explanation:
The shortcut is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs 6 and 8, so 6²+8²=c²
36+64=c
100=c²
c=10.
so he traveled 6+8+10=24km
