A trailer is 160 inches. A driveway is 60% longer than the car. How long is the driveway?!?

The word "is" in this kind of problem typically means "=", so we know that something =-8. Since we're finding the number, we should start with the closest thing in the phrase given to that number. In this case, it's 3/4x. Finally, since we have the "14 less than", we need to add that in. Your answer is:

3/4x-14=-8. Now we can just solve!
+14 +14

3/4x=6.
*4/3 *4/3

x=8.

Answer:

$A=189\ mm^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface Areas

Is the sum of all the lateral areas of a given solid. We need to compute the total surface area of the given prism. It has 5 sides, two of them are equal (top and bottom areas) and the rest are rectangles.

Computing the top and bottom areas. They form a right triangle whose legs are 4.5 mm and 6 mm. The area of both triangles is

$\displaystyle A_t=2*\frac{b.h}{2}=b.h=(4.5)(6)=27 mm^2$

The front area is a rectangle of dimensions 7.7 mm and 9 mm, thus

$A_f=b.h=(7.5)(9)=67.5 \ mm^2$

The back left area is another rectangle of 4.5 mm by 9 mm

$A_l=b.h=(4.5)(9)=40.5 \ mm^2$

Finally, the back right area is a rectangle of 6 mm by 9 mm

$A_r=b.h=(6)(9)=54 \ mm^2$

Thus, the total surface area of the prism is

$A=A_t+A_f+A_l+A_r=27+67.5+40.5+54=189\ mm^2$

$\boxed{A=189\ mm^2}$

Just answer what it asks in the picture PLEASE

Molodets [167]

m∠1 = 30° (by Vertical angle theorem)

m∠A = 80° (by Triangle sum theorem)

m∠D = 80° (by Triangle sum theorem)

The value of x is 7.5 and y is 9.

Solution:

∠ACB and ∠DCE are vertically opposite angles.

Vertical angle theorem:

If two lines are intersecting, then vertically opposite angles are congruent.

⇒ m∠DCE = m∠ACB

⇒ m∠1 = 30° (by Vertical angle theorem)

In triangle ACD,

Triangle sum property:

Sum of the interior angles of the triangle = 180°

⇒ m∠A + m∠C + m∠B = 180°

⇒ m∠A + 30° + 70° = 180°

⇒ m∠A + 100° = 180°

⇒ m∠A = 100° – 180°

⇒ m∠A = 80° (by Triangle sum theorem)

Similarly, m∠D = 80° (by Triangle sum theorem)

In ΔACD and ΔDCE,

All the angles are congruent, so ΔACD and ΔDCE are similar triangles.

In similar triangle corresponding sides are in the same ratio.

$$\frac{9}{12}=\frac{x}{10}$

Do cross multiplication.

90 = 12x

7.5 = x

Now, to find y:

$$\frac{9}{12}=\frac{6}{y}$

Do cross multiplication.

9y = 72

Divide by 9, we get

y = 8

Hence the value of x is 7.5 and y is 9.
