PLEASE HELP!!!! In the problem below, the student made a mistake. What is the students mistake in 1-2 sentences?

1 answer:

3 0

1. The student changed -5x to -6x -1x. You can not simplify things like that, and it is not even equal to it’s original value.

2. The student correctly had x and -1 outside of the parenthesis, and should have stopped solving there. But those numbers totally vanished.

Caroline bald 20 shares of stock at 10 1/2 and after 10 months the value of the stock was 11 one fourth if Caroline was to sell

lozanna [386]

10 1/2 = 10.5

20 * 10.5 = 210

20 * 11.25 = 225

225 - 210 = 15

answer: Caroline would make $15 profit

a triangular sail has sides of 10 ft ,24ft,and 26ft .if the shortest side of a similar sail measures 6ft , what is the measure o

Katarina [22]

Answer:

15.6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the sails are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal.

Comparing the shortest sides, that is

10 : 6 = 5 : 3

let the longest side be x, then using proportion

$\frac{26}{5}$ = $\frac{x}{3}$ ( cross- multiply )

5x = 78 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 15.6

The longest side is 15.6 ft

the two triangles below are similar use what you know about similar triangles to find the missing side. show your work

lara31 [8.8K]

If both triangles are similar the ratio of sides will be same

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \frac{x}{24} = \frac{6}{12} \\ \\ \sf\longmapsto 12x = 6 \times 24 \\ \\ \sf\longmapsto 12x = 144 \\ \\ \sf\longmapsto x = \frac{144}{12} \\ \\ \sf\longmapsto x = 12$
