40 Why? 80%x X=50 or 80/100x X=50
Answer: a) Yes b) Polygon ABCD ~ Polygon EFGH c) JKLM is 3x bigger than polygon ABCD
Step-by-step explanation:
(for part c)
JM= 36
AD= 12
36/12= 3

The base is x.
The height is 5 feet more than the base, so it's x+5.
The area of a parallelogram is the product of its base and its height. The area is 204 square feet.

The length of the base of a parallelogram must be a positive number, so x=12.

The base is 12 feet long, the height is 17 feet long.
A whole number? ok. 24x10^4. usually though you would use standard form so it would be 2.4x10^5
Answer: x = 9
Mel's mistake was in the last step, she multiplied by 2 instead of dividing by 2

2x + 1 = 19
Subtract 1 from each side
2x = 18
Divide by 2
x = 9
