Hi,

Think about it this way.

20%

40%

60%

80%

100%

We had to add 20% 5 times in order to get 100%.

The same goes for the fraction.

1/5

2/5

3/5

4/5

5/5

We had to add 1/5 5 times to get it to 5/5.

So...

20% is the same thing as... 20/100 and simplified, it's the exact same thing as 1/5.

They're basically the same exact thing except they're written in different ways.

I hope this helps, I didn't really understand what you needed exactly, but if you need anything else, feel free to let me know :)

Have a wonderful day.

Answer:

x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest way to solve this is to realise that a triangle takes up half the area of a rectangle of the same width and height.

We are told that the width of the triangle is 10, and that the line of length 10 is perpendicular to the longest side of the triangle. Because of that we know that x can be multiplied by ten to get the area of the rectangle that is twice the area of the triangle.

We are also told that the triangle's area is 75 units. With all of that put together, we can say:

$a = (10 * x) / 2\\75 = 5 * x\\x = 15$
