Let the numerator = x. Then,

The fraction is x/(3x+4).

If both the numerator and denominator are increased by 4, the fraction will be (x+4)/(3x+8), which, according to the question is equal to 9/25. So,

(x+4)/(3x+8) = 9/25

25(x+4) = 9(3x+8)

25x + 100 = 27x + 72

2x = 28

x = 14

Thus, the numerator is 14 and the denominator is (3*14 + 4), which is equal to 46. So the fraction is 14/46.

1. In right triangle ABC, altitude CD is drawn to hypotenuse AB. If DB = 3<br> and CD = 6, find AD.
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

3√2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following;

DB = 3

CD = 6,

Required

find AD.

using the similarity property of a triangle

DB/AD = AD/CD

3/AD = AD/6

3*6 = AD²

18 = AD²

AD = √18

AD= √9*√2

AD = 3√2

Hence the measure of AD is 3√2

The volume of a cylinder is 600 pi cm cubed. The diameter of a base of the cylinder is 10 cm. What is the height of the cylinder
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

V = B * H      area of base * height

B = pi * (D / 2)^2 = pi * 5^2 = 78.5 cm^2

H = V / B = 600  cm^3 / 78.5 cm^2 = 7.64 cm
