Here, You need to apply "Proportionality Theorem"
According to this theorem, the ratio of components of a leg would be equal to the ratio of corresponding components of another leg.

In mathematical form,
TV/VS = TW/WU

Substitute their values,
14/6 = 21/(x+4)
14(x+4) = 21*6
14x+56 = 126
14x = 126-56
x = 70/14
x = 5

In short, Your Answer would be 5

Hope this helps!

Aliun [14]

Answer:

D. 48

Step-by-step explanation:

We don't know the numbers of coupons sent to existing members and to potential members, but we know a relationship between the number.

They sent 5 times as many coupons to potential members as they did to existing members.

Let x = number of coupons sent to existing members.

Then 5x = number of coupons sent to potential members.

The total number of coupons sent was x + 5x = 6x

The total number of coupons sent was 288.

Therefore, 6x must equal 288 giving us an equation with a single variable.

6x = 288

x = 48

Logan is a land surveyor. He wants to determine d, the distance across a lake that cannot be directly measured. He draws this di

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

The first option (5.7km)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have a right angle triangle and we know two of its sides we can easily find out the thirds side (the value of d) by using the Pathagoras Theorem. In our case 7 and d are our legs and the hypotenuse is equal to 9, so...

(Based on the Pathagoras Theorem)

$c^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2}$

$9^{2} = 7^{2} + d^{2}$

$d^{2} = 9^{2} - 7^{2} \\d^{2} = 81 - 49\\d^{2} = 32\\d = \sqrt{32}\\$

d ≈ 5.7km

There for aproximate distance across the lake is equal to 5.7km

Answerr for money!!!

Answer:

Line s and Line t are parallel.

Step-by-step explanation:

Now, we know that angles 1 and 2 are congruent, because they have the same angle measures. Now, looking at their positions, we can see that they are alternate exterior angles.

By the converse of the Alternate Exterior Angle, (I do not remember exactly how the theorem went) if two lines are cut by a transversal and have congruent alternate exterior angles, then the lines are parallel. Using this theorem, we can find that lines s and t are parallel, because they are cut by a transversal and their alternate exterior angles are congruent.

I hope you find my answer and explanation to be helpful. Happy studying.
