When two triangles are similar, they're sides are in proportion.

In order to find the unknown side, we first have to find the ratio of the larger triangle to the smaller triangle.

We can use the sides TV and LN to make the proportion.

$\frac{LN}{TV}$ = $\frac{21}{6}$

The ratio between the two triangles is 21:6

Now we can solve for the unknown side.

$\frac{21}{6}$ = $\frac{LM}{8}$

Cross multiply:

8 * 21 = 6 * LM

168 = 6LM

Divide both sides by 6:

LM = 28

The unknown side's length is 28 centimeters

Good luck!

Answer:

28cm is the measurement

Step-by-step explanation:

The TU side is 1/4 longer than the TV side.

So if you apply this rule to the LMN triangle:

7x4=28cm.

Hope this helps ;-))

HELP PLS FIRST RIGHT ANSWER BRAINLIEST

harkovskaia [24]

okay, so.

it's a rectangle with a nub. We do the area without the nub first. so 8x16 is 128

now, its time for the nub.

6x12-8, that would be 4, so 6x4 is 24+128= 152

So it's B.

Hope i helped Mark brainliest pls

An open-top box is to be made from a 70-centimeter by 96-centimeter piece of plastic by removing a square from each corner of th

elixir [45]

Answer:

$177 \frac{7}{9} cm^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the Plastic Sheet= 96cm

Width of the plastic Sheet =70cm

If a square of side x is cut from each corner of the plastic sheet to form the box.

Length of the box=96-2x

Width of the box=70-2x

Height of the box =x

Volume of the box = LWH

Volume=(96-2x)(70-2x)x

The maximum volume of the box is obtained at the point where the derivative is zero.

$V=(96-2x)(70-2x)x\\V^{'}=4(x-42)(3x-40)$

Setting the derivative to 0.

$4(x-42)(3x-40)=0\\x-42=0\: 3x-40=0\\x=42\:or\: x=\frac{40}{3}$

Since we are looking for the minimum value of x,

$x=\frac{40}{3}\\\text{Area of the Square} = x^2\\=\frac{40}{3} X \frac{40}{3}\\=177 \frac{7}{9} cm^2$
