A) The answer is 24 m

x - the distance from the spot on the beach to the parking lot

Triangles that are divided by x distance is similar, and therefore:
x : 18 = 32 : x
x * x = 18 * 32
x² = 576
x = √576
x = 24

Thus, the distance <span>the spot on the beach from the parking lot is 24 m.
</span>

b) The answer is 40 m.

x - the distance from the spot on the beach to the parking lot
b - distance from the parking lot to the refreshment stand.

First, find the horizontal leg (a) of the biggest right triangle. According to the Pythagorean theorem:
a² + b² = c²
a = ?
b = ?
c = 32 m + 18 m = 50 m

Find a from the right triangle which sides are a (as a hypotenuse), x, and 18 m.
x² + 18² = a²
x = 24
24² + 18² = a²
576 + 324 = a²
900 = a²
a = √900
a = 30 m

Now, find b:
a² + b² = c²
30² + b² = 50²
900 + b² = 2500
b² = 2500 - 900
b² = 1600
b = √1600
b = 40 m

Thus the distance from the parking lot to get the refreshment stand is 40 m.

Macs farm has a total of 18 horses and 27 cows. what is the ratio of horses to cows in simplest form?
Evgesh-ka [11]
The ratio is basically finding the quotient of two numbers. If you want to find the ratio of horses to cows, divide the number of horses to that of cows.

Ratio = 18/27

When expressing it to its simplest form, make sure it is reduced. 18 and 27 are both factors of 9. So,

Ratio = 9*2/9*3
Cancelling out 9, the ratio at its simplest form is: <em>2/3</em>

Describe at least two similarities between constructing a perpendicular line through a point on a line and constructing a perpen
Vitek1552 [10]

The similarities between constructing a perpendicular line through a point on a line and constructing a perpendicular through a point off a line include:

  • Both methods involve making a 90-degree angle between two lines.
  • The methods determine a point equidistant from two equidistant points on the line.

<h3>What are perpendicular lines?</h3>

Perpendicular lines are defined as two lines that meet or intersect each other at right angles.

In this case, both methods involve making a 90-degree angle between two lines and the methods determine a point equidistant from two equidistant points on the line.
