Check the picture below.
notice the composite is just,
a 5x2 rectangle.
a triangle(yellow) with a base of 2 and a height of 2.
a triangle(red) with a base of 6 and a height of 4.
get the area of each, sum them up, and that's the area of the composite.
Answer:yes
Step-by-step explanation:
They are similar. Set the proportions equal to each other
(x + 8)/8 = (x+14)/12
Cross multiply
(x + 8)/8 (8)(12) = (x + 14)/12 (12)(8)
12(x + 8) = 8(x + 14)
Distribute the 12 and 8 to the corresponding monomials inside the parenthesis
12(x + 8) = 12x + 96
8(x + 14) = 8x + 112
12x + 96 = 8x + 112
Isolate the x. Subtract 8x from both sides and 96 from both sides
12x (-8x) + 96 (-96) = 8x (-8x) + 112 (-96)
12x - 8x = 112 - 96
4x = 16
Isolate the equal sign. Divide 4 from both sides
4x/4 = 16/4
x = 16/4
x = 4

4 is your answer for x

P = 4s
P = (120)^1/2
4s = sqrt120
s = sqrt120/4
A = 2s
2*sqrt120/4 = sqrt120/2
Number 5 is the square root of 120 divided by 2
<span>$16,000 / (100% - 20%) = $16,000 / .8 = $20,000
to verify, work the answer backwards.
$20,000 - $20,000 * 20% = $20,000 - $4,000 = $16,000
