Answer:

$15\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal and the corresponding angles are congruent

In this problem Triangles PQT and RQS are similar by AA Similarity Theorem (The three angles are congruent)

therefore

$\frac{12}{16}=\frac{x}{20}\\ \\x=12*20/16\\ \\x=15\ units$

A right triangular prism is constructed so that it's height is equal to the leg length of the base. What expression represents t

Verdich [7]

Answer:

A) $\frac{1}{2}x^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a triangular prism can be found using the formula

$V=Ah$ (1)

where

A is the area of the base

h is the height of the prism

Here, the base is a right triangle; the area of a triangle is

$A=\frac{1}{2}bh'$

where

b is the base

h' is the height of the triangle

Here, the triangle has the two sides equal, and it is a right triangle, so we have

$b=h=x$

So the area of the base is

$A=\frac{1}{2}x\cdot x = \frac{1}{2}x^2$

We also know that the height of the prism is equal to the leg length of the base, so

$h=x$

Therefore substituting into (1) we find:

$V=\frac{1}{2}x^2 \cdot x = \frac{1}{2}x^3$

frez [133]

Answer:

4665 approx

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Total number of crashes= 16,370 automobile crashes

Percentage caused by distraction =28.5%

Let us find the number of crashes caused by distraction

=28.5/100* 16,370

=0.285* 16,370

=4665.45

Hence the number of crashes caused by distraction is 4665 approx
