Answer:
c. Change the length of side CB to 8 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
If the figures are similar, the ratios should be the same
Take the side of the larger triangle over the same side of the smaller
PR PQ RQ
----------- = --------------------= ----------------
AC AB CB
7.5 5 10
----------- = --------------------= ----------------
6 4 9
7.5 /6 = 1.25
5/4 = 1.25
10/9 =1.1111(repeating)
The bases are not in the right ratio. RQ over CB = 1.25. Since RQ = 10 and the ratio is 1.25, we can solve for CB
10/CB = 1.25
Multiply by CB on each side
10 = 1.25CB
Divide by 1.25 on each side
10/1.25 = CB
8 =CB
Answer:
1375
Step-by-step explanation:
We can just follow what it says.
16 times 3 times 29 = 1392
1392 - 17 = 1375
The height of the platform would be the last part of the equation
45 feet
The answer for this problem is 1661
72 people stayed, because 96 ÷ 4 = 24, and 24 * 3 is 72.
