Answer:

since PQ ||BC,

Angle A is common for both triangles angle P = angle B

triangles ABC, APQ are similar,then their corresponding sides are in proportion

Do you know basic proportionality theorem ? You can solve the problem easily by this.

In short: BPT is if a line is parallel to a side of the triangle which intersects the other sides imto two distinct points, then the line divides those sides in proportion.

In your problem, it's given that the mutual lines are parallel (PQ || BC), so it makes it divide |AP| with |AB| and |AQ| with |AC| proportionally.

|AP| / |AB| = |AQ| / |QC|

4/12 = x/16+x

4(16+x) = 12x

x=8

Hope it helps!

Name two different numbers that round to 30 when rounded to the nearest ten
andrew11 [14]

For this case we have the following definition:

tens place: number of two digits whose absolute value is greater than zero.

Then, we have the following rounding rule:

If the previous number is greater than or equal to five, the next number increases by one unit.

We then have the following numbers rounded to 30 when rounded to the nearest ten:

26: twenty-six

27: twenty-seven

Answer:

two different numbers that round to 30 when rounded to the nearest ten are:

26: twenty-six

27: twenty-seven
