Answer:
10
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the value of x, create a proportion. A proportion is two equal ratios for similar figures. The two triangles are similar because they are the same shape but not the same size. Create ratios between corresponding sides of figures.
To solve for x, cross multiply:
12(x+4) = (2x+1)(8)
12x + 48 = 16x + 8
48 = 4x + 8
40 = 4x
10 = x
Look for patterns
1 to 3 is plus 2
3 to 6 is plus 3
6 to 10 is plus 4
Answer:
17 feets 3 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
Converting the parameters to inches only:
Recall:
1 feets = 12 inches
Man's height : 5 feets 9 inches = (12 *5) + 9 = 69 inches
Man's shadow : 3 feets 6 inches = (12 * 3) + 6 = 42 inches
Tree's shadow : 10 feets 6 inches = (12 * 10) + 6 = 126 inches
(Tree's height / tree's shadow) = (man's height / man's shadow)
Let tree's height = x
x / 126 = 69 / 42
Solve for x
42x = 126 * 69
42x = 8694
x = 8694 / 42
x = 207 inches
207 / 12 = 17 feets 3 inches

Answer:
1. z = 128
2. x = 4.2
3. c = 10
4. w = 100
5. a = 95.2
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Solve for z:
z/16 = 8
Multiply both sides of z/16 = 8 by 16:
(16 z)/16 = 16×8
(16 z)/16 = 16/16×z = z:
z = 16×8
16×8 = 128:
Answer: z = 128

2. Solve for x:
3.5 x = 14.7
Divide both sides of 3.5 x = 14.7 by 3.5:
(3.5 x)/3.5 = 14.7/3.5
3.5/3.5 = 1:
x = 14.7/3.5
14.7/3.5 = 4.2:
Answer: x = 4.2

3. Solve for c:
32 = 3.2 c
32 = 3.2 c is equivalent to 3.2 c = 32:
3.2 c = 32
Divide both sides of 3.2 c = 32 by 3.2:
(3.2 c)/3.2 = 32/3.2
3.2/3.2 = 1:
c = 32/3.2
32/3.2 = 10:
Answer: c = 10

4. Solve for w:
(2 w)/5 = 40
Multiply both sides of (2 w)/5 = 40 by 5/2:
(5×2 w)/(2×5) = 5/2×40
5/2×2/5 = (5×2)/(2×5):
(5×2)/(2×5) w = 5/2×40
5/2×40 = (5×40)/2:
(5×2 w)/(2×5) = (5×40)/2
(5×2 w)/(2×5) = (2×5)/(2×5)×w = w:
w = (5×40)/2
2 | 2 | 0
| 4 | 0
- | 4 |
| | 0
| - | 0
| | 0:
w = 5×20
5×20 = 100:
Answer: w = 100

5. Solve for a:
a/14 = 6.8
Multiply both sides of a/14 = 6.8 by 14:
(14 a)/14 = 14×6.8
(14 a)/14 = 14/14×a = a:
a = 14×6.8
14×6.8 = 95.2:
Answer: a = 95.2
