Answer:
<em>C. 15</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming that these segments formed from each parallel line are proportional, x/5 = x-6/3.
Now cross multiply by multiplying each denominator by the opposite numerator, this is so the denominators or bottom numbers of each fraction will cancel.
x/5 = x–6/3 → (3)(x/5) = (3)(x–6/3) → 3x/5 = x–6 →
(5)(3x/5) = (5)(x–6) → 3x = 5(x–6) → 3x = 5x – 30.
The last step is to do the basic algebra to find x:
3x = 5x – 30
–5x –5x
[5x will cancel when you subtract both sides by 5x]
-2x = -30
(-1) (-1)
[2 negatives make a positive when -1 is multiplied by an expression with a negative coefficient]
2x = 30
÷2 ÷2
[divide both sides by 2 to simplify 2x to x]
x = 15
_____
You can also check that both sides are proportional because
5 → x
x = 15
5 → 15
3 → x – 6
x = 15
3 → 9
5 × <u>3</u> = 15
3 × <u>3</u> = 9

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
41.472 m²
8.449m²
Step-by-step explanation:
c) scale facot is 7.2/5 = 1.44
the square scale factor is 1.44^2 = 2.0736
times 20 by this to get the area
2.0737x 20 = 41.472 m²
d) 2.8/6 = SF = 0.467
0.2178 x 38.8 = 8.449m²

(-3 ab²)³=(-3)³(a)³(b²)³=-27 a³b^(2×3)=-27 a³b^6
Answer:
Area of the base of the pyramid = V/h
Step-by-step explanation:
Mathematically, we know that the volume of the pyramid can be calculated by multiplying the area of the base by the height of the pyramid
Now using the variables in the question;
V = area of base * height of pyramid
Area of base = V/height of pyramid
Area of base = V/h
