Answer:

x= 5*400 ft = 2000 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can use the figure attached and we are interested in order to find the value of x.

We have two similar triangles (DEC and ABC) and we can find the scale factor like this:

Factor= \frac{EC}{BC}=\frac{500ft}{100ft}=5

And now we can apply proportions in order to find the value of x using the two sides DE and BA, since we have the ratio between the triangle DEC and ABC we have this:

Factor=5=\frac{x ft}{400 ft}

And solving for x we got:

x= 5*400 ft = 2000 ft

And then the distance across the lake would be 2000 ft

What is the value of x?<br><br> Enter your answer in the box.<br><br> x =
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle.

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is

x² + 12² = 13², so

x² + 144 = 169 ( subtract 144 from both sides )

x² = 25 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = \sqrt{25} = 5

A sum of money was to be shared among three friends,Albert,Micheal,Moses in the ratio 3:5:6.if Micheal receives $45,find the sum
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

The sum of the money shared is $1372

Step-by-step explanation:

The given ratio is

Albert:Michael:Moses=3:5:6

The total ratio is 3+5+6=14

Let the sum of money shared be $x.

Then Albert's share = 3/14 x x = 3x/ 14

Michal's Share   = 5x/14

If Michael received $196 more than Albert, then the difference between their share is the $196.
