Answer:
845
Step-by-step explanation:
Because they are similar triangles you can find the scale factor first.
395/553 is the scale factor
(395/553)*280=200
(395/553)*350=250
200+250+395 = 845

Given

we have

Squaring both sides, we have

And finally

Note that, when we square both sides, we have to assume that

because we're assuming that this fraction equals a square root, which is positive.
So, if that fraction is positive you'll actually have roots: choose

and you'll have

Which is a valid solution. If, instead, the fraction is negative, you'll have extraneous roots: choose

and you'll have

Squaring both sides (and here's the mistake!!) you'd have

which is not a solution for the equation, if we plug it in we have

Which is clearly false
A+5=5a+5 Subtract a from each side
5=5a+5 Subtract 5 from each side
0=5a Divide each side by the number before the variable to get it alone.

5 5
a=0
