Sure. We see all three right triangles are similar since each has corresponding congruent angles. We can think of them as all having a common three way ratio:

short leg : long leg : hypotenuse

In the smallest triangle the short leg is a+5 and the long leg is 12.

In the medium triangle the short leg is 12 and the long leg is 18

So the relevant ratio is

(a+5) / 12 = 12 / 18

a+5 = 12 × 2/3

a = 8 - 5

a = 3

Answer: A. 3

Which fraction is closer to 1 than 0

Mrrafil [7]

For some reason, you're not letting us see the choices,
so I can only give you a most general answer:

-- Any positive fraction greater than 1/2 is closer to 1 than it is to 0 .

-- No negative fraction is.

Sierra is saving money to buy a bike the bike costs $245. she has $125 saved and each week she adds $15 to her savings. how many

beks73 [17]

You should start with an equation.
$245 = 125 + 15x$
The 'x' represents the week.

so now, we have to subtract 125 from the total amount which is 245.
$245 - 125 = 120$
now we have
$120 = 15x$
to find 'x', we must divide 15 on each side
$\frac{120}{15} = \frac{15x}{15}$
we are now left with
$8 = x$
that means Sierra will have 8 weeks until she has enough money to buy the bike
