<u>Given</u>:
The given triangle is a similar triangle.
The length of the hypotenuse is 18 units.
The length of the leg is a.
The length of the part of the hypotenuse is 16 units.
We need to determine the proportion used to find the value of a.
<u>Proportion to find the value of a:</u>
We shall find the proportion to determine the value of a using the geometric mean leg rule.
Applying the leg rule, we have;

Substituting the values of hypotenuse, leg and part, we get;

Thus, the proportion used to find the value of a is 
Hence, Option D is the correct answer.
Y= 40 explanation don’t want to just trust me it’s 40
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
10×-28=-280
35-8=27
35×(-8)=-280
10x²+27x-28
=10x²+(35-8) x-28
=10x²+35x-8x-28
=5x(2x+7)-4(2x+7)
=(2x+7)(5x-4)
Since the photo booth charges a $500 fee for two hours at the party and an additional 50 dollars per hour, we have:
50x+500=C
Where x is the hours stayed and C is the total cost. Since Cindy doesn't want to spend more than 700 dollars, we have:

So she spent an additional 4 hours on the rental.
