Answer:

48 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since triangles ABC and DEC are similar (you can prove this quite easily), then we know the ratio of the sides are equal. This is a property of similar triangles. So we take the ratio of the sides CE and DE and the ratios of the sidesBC and AB.

We get:

\frac{x}{40} = \frac{60}{50} \Rightarrow x = \frac{6}{5}\times 40 = 48.

So x is 48 ft.

For her vacation Mrs. Andrews bought $300 worth of traveler's checks in $10 and $20 denominations. If she has 22 travelers check
loris [4]
A] The expression of the number of $20 will found as follows:
given that the number of $10 is x, 
The total number of denominations is 22, then the number of $20 will be given by the equation:
22-x

b] The total number of each denomination will be evaluated as follows:
total amount of money will be given by the equation:
10*x+20(22-x)=300
solving for x:
10x+440-20x=300
10x-20x=300-440
-10x=-140
thus
x=-140/(-10)
x=14 
thus the number of $10 denominations was 14 and the number of $20 denominations was 22-14=8
