There are two triangles, a big triangle and a small triangle that is inside the big triangle. Because the base of the triangles are parallel to each other( indicated by the arrow), and the small triangle is perfectly inside the bigger triangle, the sides of the triangles are proportional.
It is know that the base of the small triangle is 3.5, and the hypotenuse of the small triangle is 7cm. it is also known that the the hypotenuse of the big triangle is (7+8)=15 and the base of the big triangle is unknown.
Since the triangles are proportional,
to find the base of the big triangle
base(big)/hypotenuse(big)=base(small)/hypotenuse(small)
Plug in the numbers
x/15=3.5/7
x/15=1/2
x=15/2
x=7.5
The length of the base of the big triangle is 7.5cm
Answer: 20 inches
Step-by-step explanation: You will use the equation 48 x 28 x N = 26,880. To find the solution divide 48 and 28 from 26,880 to get N. To check your work just multiply what you got from N by 48 and 28.
X=1/3
Distribute 8 through the parentheses
8-40x+5=-2+5x
Add the numbers
13-40x+5=-2+5x
Answer: x=1/3
sorry I'm in 5 grade idc what that is tho
