The triangles are similar 
so
(x+8)/42 = 24/(2x-4)
(x+8)(2x-4) = 24 * 42
2x^2 + 16x - 4x - 32 = 1008
2x^2 + 12x - 32 = 1008
2x^2 + 12x - 1040 = 0
2(x^2 + 6x - 520) = 0
2(x + 26)(x - 20) = 0
x + 26 = 0; x = -26
x - 20 = 0; x = 20

Since the side of triangle can't be negative so x = 20

Answer
x = 20

What does OD=<br> Pls answer
Elodia [21]

Answer:

OD = 9.375"

Step-by-step explanation:

We can draw a line from O to B to create a triangle.

Then, Triangle ODB and Triangle ACB are similar, so their corresponding side's ratio are similar as well.

Triangle ACB, we can use pythagorean theorem to figure out CB:

AC^2 + CB^2 = AB^2

15^2 + CB^2 = 17^2

225 + CB^2 = 289

CB^2 = 64

CB = 8

Now relating the corresponding sides, we can figure out OD:

\frac{OD}{DB}=\frac{AC}{CB}\\\frac{OD}{8-3}=\frac{15}{8}\\\frac{OD}{5}=\frac{15}{8}\\8OD=5*15\\OD=\frac{5*15}{8}\\OD=9.375

i feel as if in the United States, both the metric system and the English system of measurement are used, although the English system predominates. This discussion question has three parts:

Look around you to find something in the U.S. that is measured in metrics. Describe it to the class.

Give an example of how you think the metric system will be used in your future career.

Do you think the U.S. should switch to metric system exclusively? Why or why not?

This week we learned about the metric and U.S. customary measurement systems. Please upload and submit your responses to the following questions in at least 150 words:

In reflecting on both measurement systems, what did you find most important?
