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

Given the expression:

$\sqrt[4]{ \frac{24x^{6}y}{128x^{4}y^{5}}}$

Simplifying:

$\sqrt[4]{ \frac{3x^{2}}{16y^{4}}}$

Then the answer is:

$\frac{ \sqrt[4]{3x^{2}}}{2y}$

Suppose that a certain movie earns $3,000,000 in ticket sales. If 60% goes to the movie and 40% goes to theatres: Movie studios

miskamm [114]

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount earned by movie = $3,000,000.

Percentage that went to movie = 60%

Percentage that went to theater = 40%

Revenue gotten by movie studio = 60% × $3,000,000

= 0.6 × $3,000,000

= $1,800,000

Revenue gotten by theaters = 40% × $3,000,000

= 0.4 × $3,000,000

= $1,200,000
