In 8, 9, 10, all the triangles are similar, meaning corresponding sides have the same ratio.
8. hypotenuse / (short side) = 25/x = x/9
x² = 25*9 = 5²×3²
x = √(5²×3²) = 5*3 = 15
9. (long side) / (short side) = x/7 = 9/x
x² = 7*9
x = √(9*7) = 3√7
10. (short side) / (long side) = x/48 = 48/64
x = 48²/64 = 36

Answer:
2667
Step-by-step explanation:
4+4x6+3+9{9+89}x3 = 2667
The total weight of candies is unknown. Let x = the total weight of candies.
"One student ate 3/20 of all candies and another 1.2 lb":
The first student ate (3/20)x plus 1.2 lb which is 0.15x + 1.2.
"The second student ate 3/5 of the candies and the remaining 0.3 lb."
The second student ate (3/5)x and 0.3 lb which is 0.6x + 0.3.
Altogether the 2 students ate 0.15x + 1.2 + 0.6x + 0.3.
That was all the amount of candies, so that sum equals x.
0.15x + 1.2 + 0.6x + 0.3 = x
Now we solve the equation for x to find what the total amount of candies was.
0.75x + 1.5 = x
-0.25x = -1.5
x = 6
The total amount of candies was 6 lb.
The first student ate 0.15x + 1.2 = 0.15(6) + 1.2 = 0.9 + 1.2 = 2.1, or 2.1 lb of candies.
The second student ate 0.6x + 0.3 = 0.6(6) + 0.3 = 3.6 + 0.3 = 3.9, or 3.9 lb of candies.
Answer: The first student ate 2.1 lb of candies, and the second student ate 3.9 lb of candies.
