Given:

It is given that

C divides AB so that, AC:AB = 3:8

To find the wrong option among the given options.

Let us take,

AB = $8x$ unit

AC = $3x$ unit

So,

CB = $8x-3x$

CB = $5x$ unit

So, we can conclude that,

AC: CB: AB = 3:5:8

Hence,

The wrong option is C i.e, Point C is $\frac{3}{5}$ of way from point A to point B.

Answer:

$A=256\ units^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given figure shows a triangular pyramid having 16 units as height. The base of pyramid is triangle.

The area of a triangular pyramid is given by :

$A=\dfrac{1}{3}bH$

Where

b is the area of base

$A=\dfrac{1}{3}\times \dfrac{1}{2}\times B\times h\times H\\\\=\dfrac{1}{6}\times 12\times 8\times 16\\\\=256\ units^2$

So, the required area is equal to $256\ units^2$ .

Sara is collecting signatures to pu on her towns ballot. So far, she has 432 signatures. This is 36% of the number of signatures

In-s [12.5K]

Sara needs to collect 1200 signatures.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

x be the total number of signatures she needs to collect

Given percentage = 36%

Signature collected = 432

According of statement;

36% of x = 432

$\frac{36}{100}*x=432\\$

$\frac{36x}{100}=432\\Multiplying\ both\ sides\ by 100\\100*\frac{36x}{100}=432*100\\36x=43200\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 36\\\frac{36x}{36}=\frac{43200}{36}\\x=1200$

Sara needs to collect 1200 signatures.

Find X <br><br> Simplify answer type exact number or use radicals as needed

On a right triangle, to find one missing side you can use this equation
a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a and b are the sides next to the right angle, and c is the hypotenuse (side not connected to right angle).

You first need to find the length of the dotted line before finding x. This is because to be able to use the above formula, you have to know the length of two out of three of the sides.

To solve the length of the dotted line, note that it also makes a triangle with the 5 unit line and the 5 √5 unit line. You can plug these numbers into the formula.
(5)^2+b^2=(5 √5)^2
25+b^2=125
b^2=100
b=10

Now that you know the length of the dotted line is 10 units, you can now solve for x

(20)^2+(10)^2=x^2
400+100=x^2
500=x^2
x= √500, which equals 22.361
