There are 3 right triangles.
                         Long leg          short leg           hypotenuse
Large                  ?                          ?                       32+18 = 50 m
Medium            32 m                     x                          ?
Small                   x                         18 m                    ?

Similar triangles: small & medium

short leg / long leg
x/32 = 18/x
x*x = 18 * 32
x² = 576
√x² = √576
x = 24

                       Long leg          short leg           hypotenuse
Large                  ? → 40 m          ?                       32+18 = 50 m
Medium            32 m                     24 m                 ? → 40 m
Small                24 m                     18 m                  ? → 30 m

solve hypotenuse of medium and small using Pythagorean theorem.

32² + 24² = c²
1024 + 576 = c²
1600 = c²
√1600 = √c²
40 = c

24² + 18² = c²
576 + 324 = c²
900 = c²
√900 = √c²
30 = c

Solve for the long leg of the large right triangle using ratio and proportion
medium and large: long leg / hypotenuse

32/40 = x/50
32*50 = 40 * x
1600 = 40x
1600/40 = x
40 = x

In a city, the distance between the library and the police station is 3 miles less than twice the distance between the police
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

Option 3 - 4 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : In a city, the distance between the library and the police station is 3 miles less than twice the distance between the police  station and the fire station. The distance between the library and the police station is 5 miles.

To find : How far apart are the police  station and the fire station?

Solution :

Let the distance between police station and fire station be 'x'.

The distance between the library and the police station is 3 miles less than twice the distance between the police  station and the fire station.

i.e. 2x-3

The distance between the library and the police station is 5 miles.

i.e. 2x-3=5

2x=5+3

2x=8

x=4

Therefore, The police and fire stations is 4 miles apart.

So, Option 3 is correct.

Hey you!<br><br> I think I need your help with this one - Thanks~

Hey Gary!

The volume of a cylinder is PiR^2h, or 3.14(r^2)h.
Let's define our measures.
Pi is 3.14 (simplified). However, our answer is requested in terms of Pi.
Our radius is 5.
Our height is 14.
Let's plug in our numbers.

5^2 • 14 • Pi
5^2 = 25
25 • 14 = 350.

350Pi is our answer.
However, rememver that we need to end our answer in units cubed, as we are using a 3-dimensional figure. Our answer is 350Pi in^3.
Your answer is B.)

I hope this helps!
