Answer:
<u>864000</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
12 feet is one inch so you times the numbers 75x12 and 80x12. 900+960=864000.
Let x be the common ratio / or scale factor
the sides of the triangle are
5x, 12x and 13x
sum of the sides defines perimeter
that is
5x + 12x + 13x = 15
30x = 15
x = 15/30
x = 0.5
The sides of the triangle are 0.5(5) = 2.5
0.5(12)=6
0.5(13) = 6.5
2.5, 6, 6.5 all in inches
The left side of this equation is already a perfect square: <span>x^2-10x+25=35.
Rewriting it, we get (x-5)^2 = 35.
Taking the sqrt of both sides, x-5 = sqrt(35).
Solving for x: x = 5 plus or minus sqrt(35) (answers)</span>
