What is the value of a in the diagram below?​

Mathematics
1 answer:
adell [148]3 years ago

Answer:

a=8

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use ratios of similar triangles to solve

The smaller triangle has sides a and 12  and the larger triangle has sides a+a+4  and 12+18  which combine to 2a+4  and 30

a               2a +4

--------- = -----------

12            30

Using cross products

30a = 12(2a+4)

30a = 24a +48

Subtract 24a from each side

30a -24a = 24a-24a +48

6a = 48

Divide each sdie by 6

6a/6 =48/6

a =8

3x + 4y = 24<br> 6x + 8y = 24 using process of elimination
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

false

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+4y=24 multiplied by 2 equals: 6x+8y=48

if you subtract 6x+8y=24 from 6x+8y=48, you get 0=24, which is not true. Therefore the statement is false.

Which inequality is true?
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

C. | -100 | > 50

Step-by-step explanation:

The left side 100 is greater than 50. Using || pretty much makes the number the inverse/opposite in any equation.

Hopefully this helps :)
