Triangles ABC and ADE are similar triangles. That means the sides are all scaled by the same factor.
To go from side BC to side DE, you multiply by 1.25. That means 1.25 is your scale factor. Now apply that factor to the bottom side to get your answer.
Side AB is 6. That means side AD is 6 x 1.25 = 7.5. That means x = 7.5 - 6 = 1.5
Answer:
x=6,y=0
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+y=12
3x-y=18
5x=30
x=6
6(3)-y=18
18-y=18
y=0
Answer:
1215
Step-by-step explanation:
If you have a 25% or 1/4 increase, this would mean that you divided the total number of students and add the quotient to the main thing.
So: 972 divided by 1/4 = 972/4 = 243.
972 + 243 = 1215.
So covert 4 minutes to seconds. Which would be 4 times 60 which would mean there would be 240 seconds. So you would multiply 15 x 240 = 3,600 feet. Then multiply 22 x 240 = 5,280 feet. 5,280 - 3,600 = 1,680 feet.

Skateboarder B will have traveled 1,680 more feet over 4 minutes.
Answer:
x =25
Step-by-step explanation:
This is an isosceles triangle because RS = ST
that means <r = <STR
4x-70 = STR
<STR + <STU = 180 straight line
subtract < STU from each side
<STR = 180 -<STU
we know angle stu = 6x
<STR = 180 -6x
we can substitute this into 4x-70 = STR
4x-70 = 180 -6x
add 6x to each side
4x+6x -70 = 180 -6x+6x
10x -70 = 180
add 70 to each side
10x-70+70 = 180+70
10x=250
divide by 10
10x/10 = 250/10
x =25
