Answer:
5 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Please see attached pictures for the full solution.
(This distance is the perpendicular distance between the 2 parallel lines, which is the shortest distance between them.)
So to start you need to add 7 and 4 to get 11
Then you divide 1650mL by 11 which gets you 150mL
You then times that by 7 to get the ratio of blue paint which is 1050mL and times 150mL by 4 to get the ratio of red paint which is 600mL
To solve this problem you must apply a theorem called: Intersecting secant theorem. The proccedure is shown below:
1) For the figure shown on the left:
(5)(x+5)=(6)(4+6)
5x+25=60
5x=60-25
x=35/5
x=7
2) For the figure shown on the right:
(3)(3+5)=(4)(x+4)
24=4x+16
24-16=4x
8=4x
8/4=x
x=2
I think it’s 8
Hope it helps
