Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

A scale model means that the ratios stay the same.

Therefore, Earth's diameter divided by Pluto's diameter is equal to the ratio of Earth's model's diameter divided by Pluto's model's diameter.

We can write this as

8000 / 1500 = 32/ Pluto's model's diameter. Representing Pluto's model's diameter as P, we can say

8000 / 1500 = 32 / P

multiply both sides by 1500 to remove a denominator

8000 = 32 * 1500 / P

multiply both sides by P to remove the other denominator

8000 * P = 32 * 1500

divide both sides by 8000 to isolate the P

P = 32 * 1500/8000

= 6 inches

Point X is the incenter of ΔABC.
Gnoma [55]

The measures of GX = 13

The measures of \angle ABX=22^0

EX = 4z + 1  and XF = 2z + 7

Take EX and XF equal time each other and then solve for z and then you will get GX because EX = XF = GX are congruent.

EX = XF

<h3>What is congruent?</h3>

Two figures or objects are congruent if they have the same shape and size, or if one has the same shape and size as the mirror image of the other.

4z + 1 = 2z + 7

2z = 6

z = 3

As,    EX = XF = GX

EX = 4(3) + 1

EX = 13

Therefore, GX = 13      ------      ( EX = XF = GX )

To find the angle ABX, divide the angle ABC by 2 you will get

\angle ABX=22^0

  • [Right Triangles Only] Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Identify Variables</u>

Leg <em>a</em> = 8

Leg <em>b</em> = <em>x</em>

Hypotenuse <em>c</em> = 10

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Substitute [PT]:                    8² + x² = 10²
  2. Isolate <em>x</em> term:                      x² = 10² - 8²
  3. Exponents:                           x² = 100 - 64
  4. Subtract:                               x² = 36
  5. Isolate <em>x</em>:                               x = 6
