Answer:

x ≈ 12.96

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle

x² + 11² = 17²

x² + 121 = 289 ( subtract 121 from both sides )

x² = 168 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = $\sqrt{168}$ ≈ 12.96 ( to the nearest hundredth )

ms. eskew's class had a class average of 77 % on their math test. how would this be written as a ratio? a. 23:100 b. 77:100 c. 5

Writing in percentages is actually writing a fraction with 100 on its denominator.
By doing so, we can easily compare data.
For example 1/2 may be written as 50/100 and it is denoted by 50%.

So, in your question, 77% means 77/100.
Since fractions represent ratios, writing in ratio form, we get 77:100. The answer is (b)77:100

Answer:

a. $\frac{x + 3}{21}=\frac{x + 1}{15}$

b. x = 4 (see steps below)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the two polygons are similar, the sides are proportional to each other. Using a proportion, you can solve for 'x' using cross-multiplication and division:

$\frac{smaller}{larger}=\frac{x + 3}{21}=\frac{x + 1}{15}$

Cross-multiply: 15(x + 3) = 21(x + 1)

Distribute: 15x + 45 = 21x + 21

Subtract '15x' from both sides: 15x + 45 - 15x = 21x + 21 - 15x or 45 = 6x + 21

Subtract '21' from both sides: 45 - 21 = 6x + 21 - 21 or 24 = 6x

Divide by 6 on both sides: 24/6 = 6x/6

Solve for x: x = 4
