Answer:
2 385/3913
i think..
Step-by-step explanation:
<span>By similarity of triangles we have the following relationship:</span>
<span> (x) / (6) = (18) / (9)</span>
<span> Simplifying we have:</span>
<span> (x) / (6) = 2</span>
<span> Clearing the value of x we have:</span>
<span><span> x = 6 * 2</span></span>
<span><span> X = 12</span></span>
<span><span> Answer:</span></span>
<span><span> The value of x for this case is equal to:</span></span>
<span><span> <span>X = 12</span></span>
</span>
Let x = the length of the shorter piece
x+x+16=50in
2x=50-16
2x=34
x=17
Then
x+16=17+16
x+16=33
Subtract 16 from both sides
The lengths are 17in and 33in
i am sorry if i'm wrong but i believe the answer is Courtney's age
Lots of red herrings in this question! The beacon is circular, so you need to find the area of a circle with a diameter of 36 inches.
Area of a circle = pi x radius^2
remember radius is half the diameter!
