Answer:

36 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

we will use concept of basic proportionality theorem,

it states that , when a line is drawn parallel to one side of the triangle and intersect the other two sides then the two sides are divided in the same ratio.

Example:

In a triangle ABC

If DE is parallel to BC

D is a point on line AB and E is point on AC, then

by basic proportionality theorem)

AD/DB = AE/EC

_____________________________________

in the problem given one side has a parallel line drawn to it

Hence we can use basic proportionality theorem in it

20/30 = 24/?

2/3 = 24/?

=> ? = 24*3/2 = 36

Hence, missing segment value is 36 units.

Which choices are equivalent to the fraction below check all the apply ""24" over 30

user100 [1]

Answer:

c) The reduced form of the given fraction $\frac{24}{30} = \frac{4}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given expression is "24 over 30".

The given expression is is equivalent to $\frac{24}{30}$

Now by Prime Factorization:

24 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3

30 = 2 x 3 x 5

⇒ The common factors in 24 and 30 is 2 x 3 = 6

So, $\frac{24}{30} = \frac{2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3}{2 \times 3 \times 5} = \frac{6 \times 4}{6 \times 5} = \frac{4}{5}$

Hence the reduced form of the given fraction $\frac{24}{30} = \frac{4}{5}$

Describe two to evaluate 37% of the sum of 27 and 3/5 and 15.9

zhuklara [117]

First way is to first find the sum and then find 37% of it. Second way is another way round, find 37 of 27 3/5 and 37% of 15.9 and then add it.

Lets do it
37%=0.37
- its the result
Second way its
0.37* 27 3/5 + 0.37*15.9=10.212 + 5.888=16.095

Answer:

Y= 40

Step-by-step explanation:

I know the y equals 40 because I used

$a {}^{2} + b {}^{2} = c {}^{2}$

But for z and x I got stuck, so I hope I helped you a little to move forward with this problem.

YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!!

Find the value of X.

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

x =25

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an isosceles triangle because RS = ST

that means <r = <STR

4x-70 = STR

<STR + <STU = 180 straight line

subtract < STU from each side

<STR = 180 -<STU

we know angle stu = 6x

<STR = 180 -6x

we can substitute this into 4x-70 = STR

4x-70 = 180 -6x

add 6x to each side

4x+6x -70 = 180 -6x+6x

10x -70 = 180

add 70 to each side

10x-70+70 = 180+70

10x=250

divide by 10

10x/10 = 250/10

x =25
