Answer:

14/1.8 = x/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Using similar triangles,

height of man/length of man's shadow = height of tree/length of tree's shadow

1.8/4 = x/14

x/14 = 1.8/4

If we cross-multiply, we have

1.8 × 14 = x × 4

dividing both sides by 4 and 1.8,we have

14/4 = x/1.8

x/1.8 = 14/4

So, the two expressions we have are

x/14 = 1.8/4 and x/1.8 = 14/4.

So, the answer is 14/1.8 = x/4 since the product 1.8 × 14 = x × 4 cannot be expressed in the given ratio.

Find the measure of each angle :Supplementary angles with measures (2x+4) and (3x+1)
denpristay [2]
First of all, we need to know what is supplementary angle is. It's means that two angles add together to get 180° angle. For examples, 135° and 45° angles add together called supplemtary angles.
Now, we know Supplementary angles with measures (2x+4) and (3x+1), so
(2x+4)+(3x+1)=180
2x+4+3x+1=180
Combining like terms
2x+3x+4+1=180
5x+5=180
Subtract 5 to each side
5x+5-5=180-5
5x=175
Divided 5 to each side
5x/5=175/5
x=35°
Next, find the measure of two angles by substitute x=35° with (2x+4) and (3x+1), so
2x+4
=2(35)+4
=70+4
=74°

(3x+1)
=3x+1
=3(35)+1
=105+1
=106°. As a result, the two supplementary angle are 106° and 74°. Hope it help!

Edith is x years old. Her sister,Madison is six years older than her. Their mother is twice as old as Madison. Their aunt, Eliza
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Edith is x years old.

Her sister,Madison is six years older than her. This means that the age of Madison is x + 6

Their mother is twice as old as Madison. This means that the age of their mother is expressed as

2(x + 6)

= 2x + 12

Their aunt, Elizabeth is x years older than their mother. This means that the expression that represents Elizabeth's age in years is

2x + 12 + x

= 3x + 12
