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

AP/PB =AQ/QC

4/8=x/16

x=8

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!

Polynomials are mathematical expressions involving variables raised with non-negative integers and coefficients. The polynomial is x³- 7x² - 6x + 72.

<h3>What is a polynomial?</h3>

Polynomials are mathematical expressions involving variables raised with non-negative integers and coefficients(constants who are in multiplication with those variables) and constants with only operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and non-negative exponentiation of variables involved.

The polynomial using the given information can be made as shown below.

Given the zeros of the polynomial are -3, 4, and 6.

P(x) = (x+3)(x-4)(x-6) = x³- 7x² - 6x + 72

To check the end behaviour of the function, the graph of the function can be plotted as shown in the below image.

Hence, the polynomial is x³- 7x² - 6x + 72.

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

£8.10

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide £10.80 by 4 to find the cost of 1 Kg, then multiply this by 3

£10.80 ÷ 4 = £2.70 ← cost of 1 Kg , then

cost of 3 Kg = 3 × £2.70 = £8.10
