You can solve this by using "similar triangles".
In triangle ABC, we are looking for side AC which is x. Side AC is similar to side DF in triangle EDF.
You can solve for side x by picking two sides in triangle ABC and their corresponding sides in triangle EDF. This is what I mean:

Substitute for the values of AC, BC, DF and EF:


To solve for y, do the same thing. Pick two sides on triangle ABC and their corresponding sides in triangle DEF.

Substitute for the values and solve:


We have the value x to be 5.5 units and y to be 6 units.
The answer is B.
If a coin is flipped 14 times and lands on heads 10 times the fraction would equal to 10/14.
10/14 simplifies to 5/7.
The first one is 2.78% second one is 3.8% third one is 4.5% and it will be 378
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
4x+2y = -24 -------------(i)
<u> -4x+y = 12 -</u>------------(ii)
add (i) &(ii) 3y = -12
y = -12/3
y = -4
Put y = (-4) in (i)
4x + 2*(-4) = -24
4x - 8 = -24
4x = -24 + 8
4x = -16
x = -16/4
x = -4
Assume that the length of the rectangle is "l" and that the width is "w".
We are given that:
(1) The length is one more than twice the base. This means that:
l = 2w + 1 .......> equation I
(2) The perimeter is 92 cm. This means that:
92 = 2(l+w) ...........> equation II
Substitute with equation I in equation II to get the width as follows:
92 = 2(l+w)
92 = 2(2w+1+w)
92/2 = 3w + 1
46 = 3w + 1
3w = 46-1 = 45
w = 45/3
w = 15
Substitute with w in equation I to get the length as follows:
l = 2w + 1
l = 2(15) + 1
l = 30 + 1 = 31
Based on the above calculations:
length of base = 31 cm
width of base = 15 cm
