Answer:

x = 7.2

y = 10

z = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since ABCD ~ JKLM, therefore, the ratio of their corresponding sides would be equal. Thus:

JK/AB = KL/BC = LM/CD = JM/AD

Substitute

12/x = y/6 = 15/9 = 10/z

✔️Find x:

12/x = 15/9

12/x = 5/3

Cross multiply

x*5 = 3*12

5x = 36

x = 36/5

x = 7.2

✔️Find y:

y/6 = 15/9

y/6 = 5/3

Cross multiply

y*3 = 5*6

3y = 30

y = 30/3

y = 10

✔️Find z:

15/9 = 10/z

5/3 = 10/z

Cross multiply

5*z = 10*3

5z = 30

z = 30/5

z = 6

Fencing a horse corral carol has 2400 ft of fencing to fence in a rectangular horse corral. (a) find a function that models the

Vanyuwa [196]

Here it is given that the width is x ft and total length of the fence is 2400 ft .

Let the length be y ft

So we have

$2(x+y) =2400
\\
x+y=1200
\\
y = 1200 -x$

Let A represents area, and area is the product of length and width .

So we get

$A = x y$

Substituting the value of y, we will get

$A = x (1200-x)= 1200x -x^2$

Second part

The area is maximum at the vertex, and vertex is

$x = - \frac{1200}{2(-1)} = 600 feet$

And

$y=1200-x = 1200-600 = 600 feet$

And that's the required dimensions .

You forgot to add in your height to your question. To find your area you need to do 8 + 14 and get 22 then you nee to do the height divided by two. If you give me the height of the triangle I can tell you the area.
