Yes, you are correct.
From the image, we can see 3 triangles, the large triangle and the two triangles that make the larger triangle.
All 3 of these triangles are similar since they're angle measurements are the same (can be proven by geometry).
We can gather the following information from the given information.
- The largest triangle (the one made up of two triangles) has a hypotenuse of 3+9=12, and a leg length of x. The hypotenuse to leg ratio is 12/x
- The second largest triangle has a hypotenuse length x and leg length 9. The hypotenuse to leg ratio is x/9
We know the hypotenuse to corresponding leg ratio must be equal since these two triangles are similar. Thus, we have the equation:
12/x = x/9
Using the cross product property gives us:
x² = 9 × 12
x² = 108
Taking the square root of both sides gives us:
x = √108
= 6 √3
Thus, your answer is correct. Great job!
Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!

Answer:
axis of symmetry: x = 2
see below for a graph
Step-by-step explanation:
You can complete the square to put the equation in vertex form.
y = (x^2 -4x +4) -1 -4
y = (x -2)^2 -5 . . . . . . vertex is (2, -5)
The equation of the axis of symmetry is the equation of the vertical line through the vertex:
x = 2 . . . . . axis of symmetry
__
Points on the graph are easily found by using integer values on either side of x=2. Points on one side of the axis of symmetry are mirrored on the other side of it.
Answer:
y=8x
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph starts at the origin so there won't be a y intercept and the slope its 8 because every book costs 8 dollars. Therefore, the equation will be y=8x. Hope this helped
