Now there is a square city of unknown size with a gate at the center of each side. There is a tree 20 b from the north gate. Tha
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

The length of each side of the city is 250b

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

a = 20 --- tree distance from north gate

b =14 --- movement from south gate

c = 1775 --- movement in west direction from (b)

See attachment for illustration

Required

Find x

To do this, we have:

\triangle ADE \sim \triangle ACB --- similar triangles

So, we have the following equivalent ratios

AE:DE = AB:CB

Where:

AE = 20\\ DE = x/2 \\ AB = 20 + x + 14 \\ CB = 1775

Substitute these in the above equation

20:x/2 = 20 + x + 14: 1775

20:x/2 = x + 34: 1775

Express as fraction

\frac{20}{x/2} = \frac{x + 34}{1775}

\frac{40}{x} = \frac{x + 34}{1775}

Cross multiply

x *(x + 34) = 1775 * 40

Open bracket

x^2 + 34x = 71000

Rewrite as:

x^2 + 34x - 71000 = 0

Expand

x^2 + 284x -250x - 71000 = 0

Factorize

x(x + 284) -250(x + 284)= 0

Factor out x + 284

(x - 250)(x + 284)= 0

Split

x - 250 = 0 \ or\ x + 284= 0

Solve for x

x = 250 \ or\ x =- 284

x can't be negative;

So:

x = 250

4. The distance covered by the cook in Triangle A equals _______________ eighteen-inch steps.
laiz [17]
We know that

<span>to convert feet to inches we must multiply by 12

</span>4. The distance covered by the cook in Triangle A equals 
a) fridge and stove-----------> 5*16*12=960 in
b) fridge and sink-------------> 10*22*12=2640 in
c) sink and stove--------------> 15*16*12=2880 in
then add, 960 + 2640 + 2880 = 6480 in

the answer asks for the distance in 18 in lengths 
so divide 6480 by 18 -------------> 6480/18=360 

the answer part N 4) is 360 eighteen-inch steps
<span>
5. The distance covered by the cook in Triangle B equals 
a) fridge and stove-----------> 5*16*12=960 in
b) fridge and sink-------------> 10*16*12=1920 in
c) sink and stove--------------> 15*16*12=2880 in
</span><span>then add, 960 + 1920 + 2880 = 5760 in
</span>
<span>the answer asks for the distance in 18 in lengths
so divide 5760 by 18 -------------> 5760/18=320 
</span><span>
the answer part N 5) is 320 </span>eighteen-inch steps

6. The distance covered by the cook in Triangle A equals 
a) fridge and stove-----------> 5*15*12=900 in
b) fridge and sink-------------> 10*22*12=2640 in
c) sink and stove--------------> 15*15*12=2700 in
then add, 900 + 2640 + 2700 = 6240 in

the answer asks for the distance in 18 in lengths 
so divide 6240 by 18 -------------> 6240/18=346.67------> 347

the answer part N 6) is 347 eighteen-inch steps<span>
