LA=3.5; AY=7
LW=?

LW=LA+AW
AW=?

Let's analyze triangles LAY and YAW
1) Triangle LAY
Angle LAY is 90°
Suppose Angle ALY is x
The angle LYA is the complement of x, for example y:
x+y=90°→y=90°-x

2) Triangle YAW
Angle AYW is the complement of angle LAY (y), then the angle AYW must be equal to x.
Angle YAW is 90°, because the angle LAY is 90°

The triangles LAY and YAW are similars, because they have to congruent angles:
Angle LAY = 90° = Angle YAW
Angle ALY = x = Angle AYW
Then the sides of triangles LAY and YAW must be proportionals:
AW/AY=AY/LA
Replacing the known values:
AW/7=7/3.5
AW/7=2
Solving for AW. Multiplying both sides of the equation by 7:
7(AW/7)=7(2)
AW=14

Now:
LW=LA+AW
LW=3.5+14
LW=17.5

Answer: LW=17.5 units

Two towns that are 31.5km aprt are 3cm apart on a map what is the scale of the map
mel-nik [20]
3 cm on the map represents 31.5 km in reality.

3cm : 31.5 km

1cm :  31.5/3 km

1cm : 10.5km

So the scale on the map is 1cm represents 10.5 km.

What is 12a equal to if 4a plus 6b = 10 and 2a-4b=12?
hram777 [196]
12a=x
4a+6b=10
2a+3b=5
2a-4b=12
a-2b=6
2a+3b+1=a-2b
a+5b+1=0
a=-1-5b

2(-1-5b)+3b=5
-2-10b+3b=5
-2-7b=5
-7b=7
7b=-7
b=-1

-1-5*-1=a
-1+5=a
4=a

4*12=48
12a=48

Hope this helps :)
