Answer:
x = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume you want to find the value of x.
Know (or prove) that in this geometry, all of the right triangles are similar. That means the ratios of corresponding sides are proportional.
short side / hypotenuse = 9/x = x/25
x^2 = (9)(25) . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 25x ("cross multiply")
x = √((9)(25)) = (3)(5) . . . take the square root
x = 15
Janine = J = 15
Leah = L = ?
L = J + 6
L = 15 + 6
L = 21
So Leah spent $21
V=LWH
h=10
V=360
360=LW10
divide both sides by 10
36=LW
try some values
ok so if we get L=1 and W=36, that is the same box as L=36 and W=1
so
L,W
36,1
18,2
12,3
9,4
6,6
5 of them
answer is 5 different boxes
dunno what the 'compare volume' is
