Answer:
x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
2/3=8/x+6
Using cross products
2 * (x+6) = 3*8
2(x+6) = 24
Divide by 2
x+6 =12
Subtract 6
x = 6

Answer:
a) yes; 12/15/17 ~ 20/25/x; SAS
b) x = 28 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
The left-side segments are in the ratio ...
top : bottom = 12 : 8 = 3 : 2
The right side segments are in the ratio ...
top : bottom = 15 : 10 = 3 : 2
These are the same ratio, and the angle at the peak is the same in both triangles, so the triangles are similar by the SAS postulate.
Normally, a similarity statement would identify the triangles by the labels on their vertices. Here, there are no such labels, so we choose to write the statement in terms of the side lengths, shortest to longest:
12/15/17 ~ 20/25/x
__
The sides of similar triangles are proportional, so the ratio of longest to shortest sides will be the same in the two triangles. In the smaller triangle, the longest side is 17/12 times the length of the shortest side. The value of x will be 17/12 times the length of the shortest side in the larger triangle:
x = 17/12 · 20 = 340/12
x = 28 1/3
Answer:
Approximately 920.324 p/m
Step-by-step explanation:
so to figure this out, we need to simply divide 6,688 people by 7.267 square miles. 6,688/7.267=920.324.... So we have approximately 920.324 people per square mile
WHat do you mean when you say you don't know "which graph is which"
Let x = hours to meet
train one has a 2 hour head start or 210 km head start
210 + 105x = 135x
30x = 210
x = 7 hours to meet
