Answer:

C. 60 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

If triangles ABC and EDC are in a 1:1 relation, they are congruent, and  

    AC = EC

5x - 5 = 3x + 9

    5x = 3x + 14

    2x = 14

      x = 7

AC = 5x + 5 = 5(7) - 5 = 35 - 5 = 30 ft

EC = 3x + 9 = 3(7) + 9 = 21 + 9 = 30 ft

Distance between top and bottom of bridge = AC + EC = 30 + 30 = 60 ft

The figures above are similar find the missing length show your work
Misha Larkins [42]

find the ratio ( scale factor ) of the 2 known sides

large box has length of 5, small box has length of 3

3 divided by 5 = 0.6

 so now multiply the known height of large box (3) by 0.6 to find x

3 * 0.6 = 1.8

x = 1.8 inches

Pls answer this question
Reika [66]

Answer:

x = 100 degree

Step-by-step explanation:

EF//GC => NF // OC

∠ANE=∠ONF     [Vertically opposite angles]

∠ONF=80

In Quadrilateral OCFN,

NF // OC

∠ ONF + x = 180     [Linear Pair]

=> 80 + x = 180

=> x = 180-80

=> x = 100

Simplify the expression.<br><br> can anyone explain to me how to do this? please
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

The answer is the last one (32x^7y^15)

You can bring x to the second power (x^2) because (x) is basically x^1. This is a basic exponent rule. (x^m)^n = x^m times n.

Then you can apply this rule to (2xy^3)^5. First you bring two to the fifth power and get 32. Then you bring x^5 according to the rule. Then you bring y^15, also because of the rule.

Now you have:

x^2 times 32x^5y^15

Now you just multiply the like terms together (x^2 and x^5)

When you multiply two exponents with the same base, you add the exponents together: a^n times a^m = a^n+m.

So you end up with 32x^7y^15
