8d = -56
Divide both sies by 8:-
d = -56/8
d = -7 (answer)
If 2 triangles are similar, the ratio of one side of the triangle to the corresponding side of the other is always same for all 3 sides.
We can make use of this rule to calculate the length of sides.
From the image,
3 / 15 = 6 / x
Simplify,
1 / 5 = 6 / x
Use cross method to solve this.
5 x 6 = 1 x x
X = 30
Therefore the length of x is 30ft., A.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1l ........8.5 miles
x l .......6 miles
-----------------------
x=6*1/8.5
x=0.70 l
2*0.7=1.4 l petrol/day ( to work and come back home)
5*1.4=7 l/week ( 5 days works in a week)
7*1.26=8.82 L /week
8.82>8.5
The petrol costs more
So the answer is NO
Why is there a question mark?
