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:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

given 2 chords intersecting inside a circle , then

the product of the parts of one chord is equal to the product of the parts of the other chord, that is

9 × 4x = 8(4x + 2)

36x = 32x + 16 ( subtract 32x from both sides )

4x = 16 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 4

Answer:

120 blocks total

Step-by-step explanation:

All of the little cubes have side length 2" Thus, the 11" height of the box cannot be used entirely: we waste the top 1" because the five layers of little cubes reach only to 10" from the bottom.

Start at the bottom of the box. The dimensions of the bottom are 12" by 8". Along the longer side we can lay 6 blocks (which add up to 12" and are 2" wide. We can add 3 more such rows to fill the available 8" width of the box bottom. That's 6*4, or 24 blocks.

We can add 4 more 6 block by 4 block layers before we have the maximum 5 layers stacked in the box.

5 layers times 24 blocks per layer comes to 120 blocks total.
