Answer:

  x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of segments is used:

  EF +FG = EG

  3x +(5x +16) = 11x -2 . . . . substitute given expressions

  8x +18 = 11x . . . . . . . . add 2

  18 = 3x . . . . . . . . subtract 8x

  6 = x . . . . . . divide by 3

The value of the variable is 6.

__

<em>Check</em>

The segment lengths are ...

  EF = 3x = 3·6 = 18

  FG = 5x+16 = 5·6 +16 = 46

  EG = 11x -2 = 11·6 -2 = 64 = 18+46 . . . answer is correct

The ratio of the side lengths of a quadrilateral is 3:3:5:8, and the perimeter is 380cm. What is the measure of the longest side
MariettaO [177]

Answer: The second option (160 cm)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You can obtain the perimeter of a quadrilateral by adding the lenghts of the sides.

2. You know that the ratio of the side lengths is 3:3:5:8 and the perimeter is 380 centimeters.

3. Therefore, you can write the following expression, where x is an integer:

3x+3x+5x+8x=380

4. Solve for x:

3x+3x+5x+8x=380\\19x=380\\x=\frac{380}{19}\\x=20

5. Therefore, the longest side is:

8x=8*20=160 (160 cm)

Three months later, Pepe averaged a speed of 4/5 of a mile in 1/10 of an hour, while Paula averaged 5/6 of a mile in 1/12 of an
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

2 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate the miles per hour of each person

Formula = Distance in miles/ Time in hours

a) For Pepe

Pepe averaged a speed of 4/5 of a mile in 1/10 of an hour

Hence,

= 4/5 miles / 1/10 hour

= 4/5 miles ÷ 1/10 hour

= 4/5 miles × 10/1 hour

= 8 miles per hour

b) For Paula

Paula averaged 5/6 of a mile in 1/12 of an hour.

Hence,

= 5/6 miles / 1/12 hour

= 5/6 miles ÷ 1/12 hour

= 5/6 miles × 12 hour

= 10 miles per hour

Therefore, In miles per hour, the number of miles Paula ran faster than Pepe is calculated as:

10 miles per hour - 8 miles per hour

= 2 miles per hour

Can you confirm is hypotenuse should be AC...

ADB would make another right triangle if I am correct and you could use the pyth theorem to determine AB<span />
