Answer:

  a) yes; 12/15/17 ~ 20/25/x; SAS

  b) x = 28 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The left-side segments are in the ratio ...

  top : bottom = 12 : 8 = 3 : 2

The right side segments are in the ratio ...

  top : bottom = 15 : 10 = 3 : 2

These are the same ratio, and the angle at the peak is the same in both triangles, so the triangles are similar by the SAS postulate.

Normally, a similarity statement would identify the triangles by the labels on their vertices. Here, there are no such labels, so we choose to write the statement in terms of the side lengths, shortest to longest:

  12/15/17 ~ 20/25/x

__

The sides of similar triangles are proportional, so the ratio of longest to shortest sides will be the same in the two triangles. In the smaller triangle, the longest side is 17/12 times the length of the shortest side. The value of x will be 17/12 times the length of the shortest side in the larger triangle:

  x = 17/12 · 20 = 340/12

  x = 28 1/3

mariarad [96]

Answer:

  • Calculus texts: 600
  • History texts: 0
  • Marketing texts: 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Each Calculus text returns $10/2 = $5 per unit of shelf space. For History and Marketing texts, the respective numbers are $4/1 = $4 per unit, and $8/4 = $2 per unit. Using 1200 units of shelf space for 600 Calculus texts returns ...

  $5/unit × 1200 units = $6000 . . . profit

Any other use of units of shelf space will reduce profit.
