Answer: 2.8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The beams intersect each other to form two similar triangles ΔQRP and ΔARC .

PR = 3.4 inches

CR = 5.1 inches.

AC = 4.2 inches

To find : PQ

We know that the corresponding sides of two similar triangles are proportional.

i.e. for similar triangles ΔQRP and ΔARC , we have

\Rightarrow \dfrac{PQ}{AC}=\dfrac{PR}{CR}\\\\\Rightarrow\dfrac{PQ}{4.2}=\dfrac{3.4}{5.1}\\\\\Rightarrow\ PQ=4.2\times\dfrac{3.4}{5.1}=2.8\text{ inches}

Hence, the distance between the endpoints of the beams P and Q = 2.8 inches

<span>Carla is renting a canoe. It’s cost $80 for 2 hours and $160 for 4 hours. What is the rate per hour?

If we want to get a full understanding of this question we must use the information given.

If renting the canoe cost $80 per 2 hours, to get 1 hour we must divide $80 by 2.

</span>\frac{80}{2}=40

or $40

We can also use $160 and 4 hours

\frac{160}{4}=40

or $40

So the rate per hour is $40
