Answer:
CU = 117
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is
=
substituting in values to the ratios
=
( cross- multiply )
24(36x - 1) = 3432 ( divide both sides by 24 )
36x - 1 = 143 ( add 1 to both sides )
36x = 144 ( divide both sides by 36 )
x = 4
CU = 36x - 1 - 26 = (36 × 4) - 27 = 144 - 27 = 117
Answer:
original is 4 & 6.
for 54 sq inch= 6 & 9 and for 96 sq inch=8 & 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: The length is 1.5 times the width.
so the length is, l = 1.5w ----(a)
lw = 24 =1.5w(w)
lw = 54= 1.5w(w)
lw = 96 =1.5w(w)
Further simplifying it,
1.5=24
1.5=54
1.5=96
so,
=
=16
=
36
=
64
taking the square root, we get:
w = 4
w = 6
w = 8
By putting the above values in eq (a), we can find their corresponding lengths:
l = 1.5(4) = 6
l = 1.5(6) = 9
l = 1.5(8) = 12
So a few lengths could be:
(l, w)
(6,4)
(9,6)
(12,8)
