Answer:
x = 27
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the value of x, create a proportion. A proportion is two equal ratios for similar figures. The two triangles are similar because they are the same shape but not the same size. Create ratios between corresponding sides of figures.
To solve for x, cross multiply:
(x+8)(14) = (10)(2x-5)
14x + 112 = 20x -50
112 = 6x - 50
162 = 6x
27 = x
68/18 = 3.77 miles to the gallon
754/3.78 = 199.47 gallons
It would be an odd number of teams. What I did was add 43 and 34 together. Which gave me 77. So 77 people total wanted to race. There can only be 8 racers on each team. Each means to divide. So I divided 8 and 77. It gave me 9 with a remainder of 5. So there will e 9 teams and 5 racers left out. (:
Answer:
b and c
Step-by-step explanation:
The Triangle Inequality Theorem lets us know that the sum of the two shortest sides of the triangle must be greater than the third side of the triangle.
In both A and D, the sum of the shortest two sides are equal to, not greater than the third side, so they will not form a triangle.
In B, 12+20 is 32, which is greater than 25. And in C, 18+24 is 42, which is greater than 30, so they both will form a triangle.
