Answer:

\text{C. }7.2

Step-by-step explanation:

In the figure, all three triangles are similar. By definition, the corresponding sides of similar polygons must be in a constant proportion. Therefore, we can set up the following proportion to solve for x by dividing corresponding sides:

\frac{x}{12}=\frac{12}{20},\\20x=144,\\x=\frac{144}{20}=\boxed{\text{C. }7.2}

The perimeter of the triangle is 13 inches. What is the length of the shortest side?
netineya [11]

Answer:

shortest side = 3 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum the 3 sides and equate to 13, that is

x - 5 + 6 + \frac{x}{2} = 13, that is

x + 1 + \frac{x}{2} = 13 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

x + \frac{x}{2} = 12 ( multiply through by 2 to clear the fraction )

2x + x = 24

3x = 24 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 8

Thus

x - 5 = 8 - 5 = 3 and \frac{x}{2} = \frac{8}{2} = 4 , then

The shortest side is x - 5 = 3 in
