Let x be the capacity of the container in gallons. Half of the container is x/2 and 2/3 of it is 2x / 3. The equation that best represent the given situation above is,
                                         x / 2   + 2   = 2x / 3
The value of x from the equation is 12. Thus, the capacity of the container is 12 gallons.

Line WY is an altitude in triangle WXZ. If ΔYWZ ~ ΔYXW, what is true about XWZ? XWZ is an obtuse angle. XWZ is a right angle. XW
topjm [15]
<span>In triangle WXZ,

Line WY is an altitude (as shown in the attached picture)
Now, it is given that:
</span><span>If ΔYWZ ~ ΔYXW
</span>∠WXY = ∠WZY
<span>
Then, we can also conclude 
</span>∠WYX = ∠WYZ = 90°....(1) (because WY is the altitude)

Now, in any triangle, the sum of all the three angles is 180.

In triangle, WXY, ∠WYX = 90° (From 1)
Therefore, WXY + XWY = 90°

Similarly, in WZY.

Hence, we conclude that XWZ is a right angle.

A pencil is `120` millimeters long.
leva [86]

Given the length of the pencil, the length of the marker is 130.8 millimeters.

<h3>What are percentages?</h3>

Percentage can be described as a fraction of an amount expressed as a number out of hundred. Percentages are represented %.

<h3>How long is the marker?</h3>

Length of the marker = (1 + percentage) x length of the pencil

(1.09) x 120 = 130.8 millimeters
