Answer:
C. 60 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
If triangles ABC and EDC are in a 1:1 relation, they are congruent, and
AC = EC
5x - 5 = 3x + 9
5x = 3x + 14
2x = 14
x = 7
AC = 5x + 5 = 5(7) - 5 = 35 - 5 = 30 ft
EC = 3x + 9 = 3(7) + 9 = 21 + 9 = 30 ft
Distance between top and bottom of bridge = AC + EC = 30 + 30 = 60 ft
There are exactly 2.54 centimeters in 1 inch.
So 12 multiplied by 2.54 = 30.48 centimeters.
There are 30.48 centimeters in 12 inches.
Hope this helped!
5a + 15 = 24b so,
10a + 30 = 48b,
sub to third equation,
10a + 30 + 35c = 49
10a + 35c = 19
perform elimination with second equation
10a + 45c = 21
10a + 35c = 19
________________-
10c = 2
c = 1/5
sub to second equation,
10a + (45)(1/5) = 21
10a + 9 = 21
10a = 12
a = 6/5
sub to first equation
(5)(6/5) - 24b = -15
6 + 15 = 24b
21 = 24b
b = 7/8
redo the calculations, correct me if I'm wrong
