Answer:

Option (A)

Step-by-step explanation:

From the picture attached,

ΔABC and ΔDEF are the similar triangles.

Therefore, by the property of similar triangles, their corresponding sides will be proportional.

\frac{AB}{DE}= \frac{BC}{EF}= \frac{AC}{DF}

\frac{5.75}{18}=\frac{BC}{12}

BC = \frac{12\times 5.75}{18}

BC = 3.83 ft

Option (A) will be the correct option.

10p - (3p - 4) = 4(p + 1) + 9
andrezito [222]

Answer:

p = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

distribute parenthesis on both sides of the equation

10p - 3p + 4 = 4p + 4 + 9 ( simplify both sides )

7p + 4 = 4p + 13 ( subtract 4p from both sides )

3p + 4 = 13 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

3p = 9 ( divide both sides by 3 )

p = 3
