Answer: x = 7
`Step-by-step explanation:
Because the figure shows two triangles that are similar. we can write and solve an equation of ratios:
9 cm 72 cm
----------- = -----------
3x - 20 56 cm
Cross-multiplying, we get (3x - 20)(72 cm) = (9 cm)(56 cm) = 504 cm²
Dividing both sides by 72 cm, we get:
3x - 20 = (504 cm²) / (72 cm) = 7
Then 3x - 20 = 7, and 3x = 27. Then x must be 9.
The value of y=29
the value of x=61
Answer=60
Since the base of the prism is a right triangle, we can use the pythagorean theorem to solve for x.
a²+b²=c²
plug in the data
a²+24²=30²
a²+576=900
subtract 576 from both sides
a²=324
sq root
a=18
So x=18
The formula for the volume of a triangular prism is...
V=(area of the base)*(height)
V=1/2bh*H where b=base of triangle h=height of triangle, H=height of prism
plug in the data that we know
720=1/2*18*24*H
720=216*H
divide both sides by 216
3 1/3=H
So x=18 and y=3 1/3 or 3.33 repeating
The product of the two
18*3 1/3=60
Answer=60
Y=$175+x I think this is it? one half of 175 is 87.5 so you know.
