Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
For the given intervals
( - ∞, - 5) ← use any value < - 5 but not - 5, the parenthesis ) indicates that x is less than - 5 but not equal to - 5
(- 5, - 1) ← - 4, - 3, - 2 can be used but not - 5 or - 1
(- 1, 4) ← 0, 1, 2, 3 can be used but not - 1 or 4
(4, ∞ ) ← use any value > 4 but not 4
Hence
3 can be used in (- 1, 4)
- 6 can be used in (- ∞, - 5)
zero can be used in (- 1, 4)
- 5 cannot be used in any of the given intervals
<u>Given</u>:
The given triangle is a similar triangle.
The length of the hypotenuse is 18 units.
The length of the leg is a.
The length of the part of the hypotenuse is 16 units.
We need to determine the proportion used to find the value of a.
<u>Proportion to find the value of a:</u>
We shall find the proportion to determine the value of a using the geometric mean leg rule.
Applying the leg rule, we have;

Substituting the values of hypotenuse, leg and part, we get;

Thus, the proportion used to find the value of a is 
Hence, Option D is the correct answer.
Answer:
x = 3.2
Step-by-step explanation:
Since, intercepts made by parallel lines on the transversals are in proportion.
AB = BC.... (given)
From equations (1) & (2)
Therefore,
7x - 9 = 2x + 7
7x - 2x = 9 + 7
5x = 16
x = 16/5
x = 3.2
