double check the answer, i didnt use a calculator so might be wrong
the answer is 4.5 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the two fugures in the question above are similar, it means they have the same shape, even though they are if different sizes, the ratio of their corresponding sides are proportional. Thus,
18/x = 8/2
Let's solve for x as required.
We have,
18/x = 8/2
=>Cross multiply:
18 × 2 = 8 × x
36 = 8x
=>Divide both sides by 8
36/8 = x
4.5 = x
x = 4.5 ft
It's impossible. Supplements need to add up to 180 degrees, and in order to be obtuse, the angles would both need to be larger than 90 degrees.
12/13 would be your answer if you were to simplify your answer
