Find the unknown length y in the following pair of the similar triangles.

Mathematics

Answer:

y = 9.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both triangles are said to be similar, the proportion or ratio of the sides of both triangles would be equal.

Therefore, 39/y = 23/5.75 = 35/8.75

Let's find y

39/y = 23/5.75

==>Cross multiply

39*5.75 = 23*y

224.25 = 23y

==>Divide both sides by 23

224.25/23 = y

9.75 = y

y = 9.75

Check:

Thus,

39/9.75 = 23/5.75 = 35/8.75 = 4

Our answer y, which is 9.75, is correct.

One-half of the sum of a number and 6 is less than 25. What is the number
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

44

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2(n + 6) < 25         Distribute

1/2n + 3 < 25

       - 3     - 3           Subtract 3 from both sides

1/2n < 22                  Multiply both sides by 2 or divide by 1/2

n < 44

1. BUILD A FENCE Mrs. Chen wants to build
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

  180 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a geometric figure is the sum of the lengths of its sides. Opposite sides of a rectangle are of equal length, so the perimeter can be figured as twice the sum of the length of adjacent sides:

  2(60 ft + 30 ft) = 180 ft

Mrs. Chen needs 180 feet of fence.
