Answer:

b = 54 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use proportions if the shapes are similar

Take the same side lengths over each other.

81 cm b cm

----------- = --------------

24 cm 16 cm

Using cross products

81 *16 = 24*b

Divide each side by 24

81*16/24 = 24b/24

54 =b

Solve the following equation for x.<br><br> 12x^2-36x=0

OlgaM077 [116]

$\qquad\qquad\huge\underline{{\sf Answer}}♨$

Let's solve for x ~

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:12 {x}^{2} - 36x = 0$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:12 x({x}^{} - 3) = 0$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:12x = 0 \: \: or \: \: x - 3 = 0$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:x = 0 \: \: or \: \: x = 3$

Therefore, the possible values of x are 0 and 3
