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

Dominik [7]

Well obviously the two bottom graphs don't represent the two trucks meeting. So we can cross those out. Looking at the top two graphs we can tell that the line above is truck #2. In graph 1 it shows the second truck is slowing down which is wrong since that isn't told.

So the answer would be Graph #2

I hope this helps!
