It is something that you see often. In the problem it may say what is the area of a square that is 6in by 6in. The BY represent multiplication
Answer:
8x + 100
Step-by-step explanation:
Your answer is correct! But because the equation is already set to "y =", you do not need the "f(x)" in your equation.
What do I solve? We need more info
There are two triangles: a small one to the left and a big one, which includes the small one. They both have a common angle (the leftmost angle) and since (we can assume) the two columns meet the floor at right angles, they both have two equal angles. This means they are similar (AAA).
Let the distance of the base of the stairs to the tallest column be d.
Because matching sides of similar triangles are in the same ratio,
4 / 6 = d / (6 + 12)
4 / 6 = d / 18
(4 * 18) / 6 = d
d = 12
The answer is C
