Answer:

x = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle ABP and triangle CDR are similar.  Thus, we can solve this problem for x using an equation of proportions:

hypotenuse     leg length

    15+42               10+x

----------------     =   ----------

       42                     x

Then (15+42)x  =  42(10+x) after cross multiplication

      57x            =  420 + 42x

Subtracting 42x from both sides, we get

      15x             =    420.

Dividing both sides by 15 results in

        x               =   28

Marcs is growing three bean plants as part of a science experiment. Plant A 1/3 inch tall. Plant B is 3/4 inch tall. Plant C is
snow_tiger [21]
Shortest to tallest: Plant A, Plant B, Plant C.

Given:
Plant A 1/3 inch tall
Plant B 3/4 inch tall
Plant C 5/6 inch tall

Order from shortest to tallest.

First we need to get the least common multiple of the three fractions.

Multiple of 3: 3, 6, 9, 12
Multiple of 4: 4, 8, 12, 16
Multiple of 6: 6, 12, 18

Their least common multiple is 12. We need to multiply each fraction by the number that will give the product of 12 to the denominator.

Plant A: 1/3 * 4/4 =   4/12
Plant B: 3/4 * 3/3 =   9/12
Plant C: 5/6 * 2/2 = 10/12

Since the denominator is common, we will use the numerator as basis in ordering the plants from shortest to tallest. 

4 is less than 9 and 9 is less than 10.

so, Plant A is the shortest, Plant B is the medium height, and Plant C is the tallest.
