Answer:

s = 12cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Since these are similar triangles, in order to find a missing side, you have to find the constant of proportionality

14/8 = 21/s >> cross multiply

14s = 168 >> divide both sides by 14 to get s alone

s = 12

<em />

<em>another way to find the answer......</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

You still have to find the constant of proportionality, it's just going to be a bit faster this way

14/8 = 1.75

21/1.75 = 12

s = 12

$7\sqrt3-4\sqrt6+\sqrt{48}-\sqrt{54}\\\\=7\sqrt3-4\sqrt6+\sqrt{16\cdot3}-\sqrt{9\cdot6}\\\\=7\sqrt3-4\sqrt6+\sqrt{16}\cdot\sqrt3-\sqrt9\cdot\sqrt6\\\\=7\sqrt3-4\sqrt6+4\sqrt3-3\sqrt6\\\\=\boxed{11\sqrt3-7\sqrt6}$
