Mathematics
1 answer:
const2013 [10]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. This means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. To solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

A proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. We form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). Out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

\frac{little}{big} =\frac{little}{big}.

\frac{36}{36 + 12}=\frac{24}{24 + 6x - 4}

To solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.

36(24 + 6x - 4)=(36+12)(24)\\36(6x + 20)=48(24)\\216x + 720 = 1152 \\216x = 432\\\frac{216x}{216}=\frac{432}{216} \\x = 2

A rule of thumb for estimating the size of a crowd is that 2 people take up
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

120 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of dance floor = 30 ft

Width of dance floor = 20 ft

Given that 2 people will occupy 5 ft² of space, the number of people that will crowd the floor of the dance floor is calculated as follows:

= Area of dance floor ÷ 5 ft²

= (30*20) ÷ 5

= 600 ÷ 5

= 120.

120 people will crowd the dance floor.

Help Please.<br><br> If 7m - 3 = 53. What is the value of 11m + 2?
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

90.

Step-by-step explanation:

7m - 3 = 53

m would be 8 because 56 - 3 = 53.

11m + 2 equals 90 because 11 times 8 (8 is m) is 88, which added by two is 90.
