Total hours worked = 5 x 3 = 15 hours
Amount collected = 50 x 15 = $750
Amount paid to the paralegal = 30 x 15 = $450
Amount made by the firm = 750 - 450 = $300
Since the triangles are similar, all sides are proportional by the same scale factor.
The relationship between the bases 32 and 8 is 4 (32/8 = 4). This means that the smaller triangle need to be multiplied by a scale factor 4 to result in the bigger triangle.
This means that 4x + 12 is 4 times greater than 15.
The equation to solve for x can be written as:
4x + 12 = 4*15
Now just solve for x as u normally would
4x + 12 = 60
(Subtract twelve from both sides)
4x = 48
(Divide both sides by 4 to isolate x)
x = 12
I hope this somewhat helped :)
Was my explanation clear enough?
Answer:
E) 16
Step-by-step explanation:
4 * 4 = 16
Hope this helps
A must be parallel to b.
Proof:
∠3 = <span>∠13 (given)
</span>∠15 = <span>∠13 (vertically opposite angles are equal)
Since </span>∠13 = ∠3 and ∠13 = ∠15, ∠15 = <span>∠3
Then, a must be parallel to b (transverse line d cuts parallel lines producing converse alternate angles that are equal (ie </span>∠15 = <span>∠3))
</span>
