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

The difference between two numbers is 25. The smaller number us 1/6th of the larger number. What is the value of the smaller num
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L be the larger number and s be the smaller one.

Then we have two equations.

(1) L – s = 25

(2)       s = L/6     Multiply both sides by 6

        6s = L         Substitute the value for L in Equation(1)

 6s – s = 25        Combine like terms

       5s = 25        Divide both sides by 5

         s = 5

The value of the smaller number is 5.

What is the distance between the points 1 - 6 + -5 2
Nata [24]
(1, -6) and (-5, 2)

Distance between 1 and -5 = 6
Distance between -6 and 2 = 8

6²+8²=x² (PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM)
36+64=x²
x² = 100
x = 10

Note: Not -10 because <em>distance cannot be negative.</em>
