The larger right triangle with hypotenuse x + 5 and short leg x + 2 is similar to the smaller right triangle with hypotenuse x + 2 and short leg x.
Because of this similarity, we have
(x + 5)/(x + 2) = (x + 2)/x
Solve for x:
x(x + 5) = (x + 2)^2
x^2 + 5x = x^2 + 4x + 4
x = 4
Answer:
6.0.
Step-by-step explanation:
The line marked 20 is 2 times the line marked 3x - 8 (because the last line cuts the 2 sides of the large triangle in 2).
2(3x - 8) = 20
6x - 16 = 20
6x = 36
x = 6.0.
Total length of trim = 9* 25 = 225
Total length = 225 inches.
12 inches = 1 feet.
225 inches = 225 / 12 = 18.75
= 18.75 feet
