Step-by-step explanation:
Rationalize the denominator first (keep in mind we are NOT solving this because there is no equals sign here. We are merely simplifying.)
Now simplify by taking the square root of 100 to get:
Divide numerator and denomiator by 10 to get:
Answer:
B. 12
Step-by-step explanation:
✔️Find the value of x
The side lengths of two similar triangles are always proportional.
Given that ∆ABC ~ ∆LMN, therefore:
AB = 5
LM = 10
AC = x + 5
LN = 3x + 3
Plug in the values
Cross multiply
(distributive property)
Collect like terms
Divide both sides by 5
x = 7
✔️Find AC
AC = x + 5
Plug in the value of x
AC = 7 + 5
AC = 12
