Mathematics
1 answer:
lana [24]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

84

Step-by-step explanation:

because the top and bottom lines are parallel, we can conclude that the 2 triangles (top and bottom) are similar triangles. This means the sides lengths  of smaller triangle is proportional to the respective sides on the larger triangle. With this, we can form the following equation:

x/48 = 21/12  (multiply both sides by 48)

x = (21/12)· 48

x = 21 ·4

x = 84

Gnoma [55]

Answer: A loss of $35,100

Step-by-step explanation:

The tractor had cost $136,000 and had accumulated a depreciation of $69,900.

This means that the net book value of the tractor was:

= 136,000 - 69,900

= $66,100

The insurance company was supposed to give them this amount but instead gave them $31,000. They will therefore suffer a loss of:

= 66,100 - 31,100

= $35,100

Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the missing length in the following right triangle.
lesantik [10]
Hello there!


The Pythagorean Theorem is:

a² + b² = c²

We have b = 48 and c = 50

Remember: The hypotenuse is always longer.

a² + 48² = 50²

a² + 2304 = 2500

a² = 2500 - 2304

a² = 196

a = √196

a = 14

The missing length is 14.
