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
These angles are vertical angles meaning that they are equal to each other. Here is the equation for this problem:
x + 40 = 3x
Combine like terms
(x-x) + 40 = 3x - x
40 = 2x
Isolate x
40/2 = 2x/2
x = 20
Hope this helped!
Answer: Jane sells beaded bracelets for $2 each and beaded necklaces for $4 each. She sold 50 pieces of jewelry at the craft fair last weekend and made $160.
Step-by-step explanation: I just answer this and it's correct.
if we're factoring you can use the AC method. A multiplied by C is 24. and 4x6 is 24.
(x+4)(x+6) is your answer
The quotient of some number and four.
