Answer:

Missing length = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the missing length.

Since the triangles are similar, ∆KLM ~ ∆KRS, therefore, the ratio of their corresponding side lengths would be the same. This implies that:

KL/KR = KM/KS

KL = 65

KR = 65 - 52

KR = 13

KM = 60

KS = x

Plug in the values

65/13 = 60/x

Cross multiply

65*x = 60*13

65x = 780

Divide both sides by 65

65x/65 = 780/65

x = 12

Is (x + 7) a factor of f(x) = x3 − 3x2 + 2x − 8? Use either the remainder theorem or the factor theorem to explain your reasonin

guajiro [1.7K]

Step-by-step explanation:

If x + 7 is a factor of f(x), then f(-7) = 0.

f(-7) = (-7)³ − 3(-7)² + 2(-7) − 8

f(-7) = -343 − 147 − 14 − 8

f(-7) = -512

x + 7 is not a factor of f(x).

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

set up a proportion where 20% is represented as 20/100 and set it equal to 1.80/x

cross multiply and you should get 180=20x

divide by 20 to solve for x

you then get 9, which is the amount you were looking for
