Remark

If the lines are parallel then triangle RQS will be similar to triangle RTP


From that, all three lines in one triangle will bear the same ratio to all three lines of the second triangle.


Givens

PQ = 8

QR = 5

RS = 15

ST = x + 3


Ratio

QR/RP = RS/RT


Sub and solve

RP = 5 + 8

RP = 13


RT = 15 + x + 3

RT = 18 + x


5/13 = 15 / (18 + x) Cross multiply

5(18 + x) = 195 Remove the brackets on the left.

90 + 5x = 195 Subtract 90 from both sides.

5x = 105 Divide by 5

x = 105/5

x = 21 Answer <<<<<<<

Andrea has a goal of running at least 50 miles this month. She has already run 7 miles. How many miles does Andrea need to run e
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

At least 1.72 miles per day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Goal of running is at least 50 miles in a month.

           Andrea have already run 7 miles.

           Days left in the month is 25.

As given, Andrea have already run 7 miles.

∴ Andrea need to run this month= 50\ miles - 7\ miles= 43\ miles

Days remaining this month is 25.

Now, finding miles need to run each day to meet her goal.

Miles need to run each day= \frac{remaining\ miles}{remaining\ days}

⇒ Miles need to run each day= \frac{43}{25} = 1.72\ miles

∴ Andrea need to run at least 1.72 miles to meet her goal this month.
