First notice that the triangle with sides
and the triangle with sides
are similar. This is true because the angle between sides
in the smaller triangle is clearly
, while the angle between sides
in the larger triangle is clearly
. So the triangles are similar with sides
corresponding to
, respectively.
Now both triangles are
, which means there's a convenient ratio between its sides. If the length of the shortest leg is
, then the length of the longer leg is
and the hypotenuse has length
.
Since
is the shortest leg in the larger triangle, it follows that
, so
Answer:
e. 10√30
Step-by-step explanation:
In this right triangle geometry, all of the right triangles are similar. This means that the ratio of long side to hypotenuse is the same for all triangles:
x/(10+50) = 50/x
Multiplying by 60x, we have ...
x^2 = 3000
x = 10√30 . . . . . take the square root. Matches choice E.

<em>Comment on estimating</em>
You're looking for x. Examining the figure, you see that x is the long side of the triangle with hypotenuse 10+50=60, so it will be shorter than that value. x is also the hypotenuse of the triangle with long side 50. So, x will be longer than 50.
The only answer choice with a value between 50 and 60 is choice E.
You don't even need to know how to find x. You only need to know that the hypotenuse is the longest side in a right triangle.
Answer:
DONE
Step-by-step explanation:
HE CHARGES $145 PER HOUR
1 HOUR=$145
2 HOUR= $145*2= $290
3 HOUR= $145*3= $435
4 HOUR= $145*4=$580
Answer:
Dog Clients = 770
Cat Clients = 154
Step-by-step explanation:
1) We are given 5/6 and the number 924. To find the total dog clients, we need to multiply 5/6 by 924 = 770.
2) To find the cat clients, we subtract the dog clients (770) from the total amount of clients, which gives us 154
<h2>8 unit tiles should be added</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Function given is 
. We wish to add more unit tiles to the function so that it becomes a complete square.
Since the given function is of order 2, the side of the square will be order 1. Let us assume a general order 1 expression 
to be the side of the square.
As the function forms the square after adding some 
unit tiles, 
From comparision, 
∴ 8 more unit tiles are required to complete the square.
