If the triangles are similar, the proportion of the legs on the left to the legs on the right will be equal. This proportion would look like:
(You needed to combine the orange segment and the yellow segment to find the total length of the large triangle).
Now, cross multiply and solve for x:
28x+14=30x
<em>*Subtract 28x from both sides to isolate the variable*</em>
14=2x
<em>*Divide both sides by 2*</em>
7=x
Hope this helps!!
To solve this equation you must add $400 and $50 togeather. After you do that your equation will then be. M=450(2)x.
X-3y-3=
2-3(3)-3=
2-9-3=
-10
Hope I didn't mess up for your sake
Answer:
There are an infinite number of values satisfying the requirements; every couple of numbers satisfying the following conditions are valid:
base = 60-w meters
width = w meters
0 < w <= 22
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the playground has a rectangular shape, let us us call b the base of the rectangle and w its width. In order for the rectangle to satisfy the condition of P = 120, we need for the following equation to satisfy:
2b + 2w = 120
Solving for b, we get that b = (120 - 2w)/2 = 60 - w .
Given a particular value (w) for the width, the base has to be: (60-w).
Therefore, the possible lengths of the playground are (60-w, w), where 60-w corresponds to the base of the rectangle and w to its width. And w can take any real value from 0 to 22.
