Answer: 7.5

Form your proportion. Let x be the width of QRST.

Length of ABCD      Length of QRST
-----------------------  =  ------------------------- 
Width of ABCD         Width of QRST

8/5 = 12/x

Solve for x by cross-multiplying.
(8)(x) = (12)(5)
8x = 60
x = 7.5

Find the missing length of the triangle.
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

a = 13.8

(missing length of triangle = 13.8 meters)

Step-by-step explanation:

The side lengths of a triangle can be related using the Pythagorean Theorem;

a² + b² = c²

where

a = one side length

b = other side length

c = hypotenuse (long side --across from 90° angle)

So, by plugging our values into the Pythagorean Theorem, we can solve for a:

a = unknown

b = 18.4

c = 23

a² + b² = c²

a² + 18.4² = 23²

a² + 338.56 = 539

    - 338.56   - 338.56       {subtract 338.56 from both sides to isolate a}

a² = 190.44

√a² = √190.44

a = 13.8

so, the missing length of the triangle is 13.8 m

hope this helps!!

Answer:

The correct answer is C. 54.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Danielle started her postcard collection with 6 cards that she received from her uncle during his trip to France, and Danielle's uncle sends her 2 more cards each month as he travels for business, and the table below shows the relationship between the number of months Danielle has been collecting cards and the number of cards she has.

Number of Months Danielle

Has Been Collecting Cards Number of Cards in the

Collection

2 10

4 14

8 22

24?

To determine how many cards Danielle can expect to have after 24 months, the following calculation must be performed:

(24 x 2) + 6 = X

48 + 6 = X

54 = X

Therefore, after 24 months Danielle will have 54 cards.

How do you do 3x (3X+6) please list how to do in order please. thanks!
Nadusha1986 [10]
Do what?  If you mean to find when it equals zero...

By inspection you can see that if x=0 or 2 the expression is equal to zero...

You multiply each term in the parentheses by the term outside the parentheses...like:

3x*3x+3x*6 which is equal to:

9x^2+18x   If you meant to expand it....

9x(x+2)      If you meant to factor it completely
