They are similar. Set the proportions equal to each other

(x + 8)/8 = (x+14)/12

Cross multiply

(x + 8)/8 (8)(12) = (x + 14)/12 (12)(8)

12(x + 8) = 8(x + 14)

Distribute the 12 and 8 to the corresponding monomials inside the parenthesis

12(x + 8) = 12x + 96

8(x + 14) = 8x + 112

12x + 96 = 8x + 112

Isolate the x. Subtract 8x from both sides and 96 from both sides

12x (-8x) + 96 (-96) = 8x (-8x) + 112 (-96)

12x - 8x = 112 - 96

4x = 16

Isolate the equal sign. Divide 4 from both sides

4x/4 = 16/4

x = 16/4

x = 4

4 is your answer for x

If XYZ ~ EDF, the measure of angle F is _____ a0°.
hoa [83]

Answer:

63° (same as Z)

Step-by-step explanation:

The question indicates that ΔXYZ is similar to ΔEDF.

By definition, when we indicate that triangle XYZ is similar to the triangle EDF, the order of the letters is important and match the congruent angles.

So, ∠X = ∠E, ∠Y = ∠D and ∠Z = ∠F

It's hard to see because the angles are quite similar in opening (56°, 63° and 61°), and the drawing doesn't seems to be to scale.

But according to the naming convention: ∠Z = ∠F

Since ∠Z = 63°, ∠F = 63°

1) John is going golfing and needs to rent equipment. It costs him $75 to rent the clubs and he needs to purchase golf balls for
daser333 [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So he has $100 and you want to see how many golf balls he can purchase well we know he spends $75 on the clubs so

 75

-100

--------

  25

John now has 25 dollars left. One ball is $1.50 so we keep adding or multiplying till we finish 25 dollars

1.50 + 1.50 + 1.50 + 1.50 + 1.50 + 1.50 + 1.50 + 1.50 + 1.50 + 1.50 + 1.50 + 1.50 + 1.50 + 1.50 + 1.50 + 1.50 = 24

or

  1.50

x    16

----------

    24

he can purchase 16 golf balls

and the reason why it's 16 is that 16 golf balls are equal to 24 dollars and he can't purchase 17 golf balls or else that would be $25.50 which is more money than he has.

Hope that helped!
