In order to solve the equation, set up a proportion. Use the similar sides together!

1. 16/8 = x/20.... Similar sides are in one ratio and they equal another ratio...."x" represents the side of VS

2.Solve for "x" by cross multiplying: 8x = 320

3. Divide by 8 to find "x": x = 40

Side VS equals 40. Hope this helped :)

Answer:

This assume the equation is 35y = mx + c, and that r is meant to be x.

Step-by-step explanation:

35y = mx + c

35y = -2(-7) - 3

35y = 14 - 3

35y = 11

y = (11/35)

mr. cuddy draws a triangle with a perimeter of 36cm. Principal Aranda says that the longest side measures 18 cm, How do you know

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

See the procedure

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The Triangle Inequality Theorem, states that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side

Let

a,b,c the lengths side of triangle

c is the greater side

The perimeter is equal to

P=a+b+c

P=36 cm

If c=18 cm

then

a+b=18

Applying the Triangle Inequality Theorem

a+b > c

18 > 18 ----> is not true

therefore

Principal Aranda is incorrect

The larger side cannot measure 18 cm

The largest side must be less than 18 cm
