Answer: 7 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
If x is the first piece, and the second piece is twice as long, then the second piece is 2x.
If the third piece is three times as long as the first piece, x, then the third piece is 3x.
The 42-inch board must be equal to all 3 pieces, so we will set up an equation and solve for x.
42 = x + 2x + 3x
42 = 6x
42 = 6x
7 = x
The first piece is 7 inches long.

Answer: Choice C
x/w and z/(y+v)
======================================================
Explanation:
All answer choices have that first fraction with a denominator of w. This implies that AB = w is the hypotenuse. This only applies to triangle ABD.
Focus on triangle ABD. It has an opposite leg of AD = x, when the reference angle is ABD (or angle B for short).
So we can say sin(ABD) = opposite/hypotenuse = AD/AB = x/w
x/w is one of the answers
-----------
Also note how y+v is the same for each denominator in the second fraction. y+v is the hypotenuse of triangle ABC. When the reference angle is ABD (aka angle ABC), the opposite side of this same triangle is AX = z
Therefore,
sin(ABD) = sin(ABC) = opp/hyp = AC/BC = z/(y+v)
z/(y+v) is the other answer
Side note: triangle ACD is not used at all.
9-5=4 Therefore f=4
