Answer:
X=18, Y=6
Step by Step Explanation:
This is a little long winded.. Let's solve for Y first.
First looking at the problem, you can note a few things. First of all, there is an Isosceles triangle, and there is an equilateral triangle. Where they connect, there is a 90° angle.
Now, all equilateral triangles have the same angle measurement. 60°. Now, if you look where the right angle is, it is showing a 60° angle, a total of 90°, and an unknown area. So simply subtract. 90-60=30. Divide that by 5, and you have your answer of 6.
Now let's solve X. X is very simple. On an isosceles triangle, the two top sides are the same length. And one of the top sides is the same size as the equilateral triangle. And on equilateral triangles, all sides are the same.
So the 11 transfers over to the X side. So let's make a small equation. 11=X-7. To make it even, let's add 7 to both sides. 11+7=X+7-7. Simplify to get 18=X, which is your answer.
1) A: The first table
2) B: The water level increases by 2 inches each hour.
Hope this helps
Ben is right, you must add 25 not subtract it
1st side = x
2nd side = 2x
3rd side is x-5
so x +2x + x-5 = 31
answer is A
