Answer:

x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

First Polygon:

Top = 12

Bottom =5

Second Polygon

Top = 48

Bottom =x

Required

Find x

Since both polygons are similar, then:

Ratio = Top:Bottom

For the first:

Ratio = 12:5

For the second

Ratio = 48:x

Equate both ratios

12:5 = 48:x

Express as fraction

\frac{12}{5} = \frac{48}{x}

Cross Multiply

12 * x = 48 * 5

Solve for x

x = \frac{48 * 5}{12}

x = \frac{240}{12}

x = 20

The length of a rectangular field is 6 feet less than 5 times its width.
nordsb [41]

Answer:

5X-6)+(5X-6)+X+X=252 , now lets add all the X together, and then add the whole numbers.

12X-12=252 , now lets work this by adding 12 on each side of the equation:

12X-12+12=252+12

12X=264 , divide both sides by 12.

X=22

Now lets prove X =22:

(5·22–6)+(5·22–6)+22+22=252

(110–6)+(110–6)+22+22=252

104+104+44=252

208+44=252

252=252Therefore the length is 104 feet each and the width is 22 feet each.

What is 2 3/8 as an improper fraction?<br><br> Give answers, please.
m_a_m_a [10]

To convert a mixed fraction into an improper fraction, we must follow some steps.

First, we take the whole part and multiply it by the denominator of the fraction.

In this case, we take 2 and multiply it by 8.

Now we add the numerator:

16+3=19

The denominator stays the same:

\frac{19}{8}

Hope it helps! :)

A bird catches a fish, flies 100 yards upward in a straight line, and then drops the fish. The fish lands at a spot that is 50 y
Marina CMI [18]
You can solve this using trigonometric functions.

The angle between the fish and the ground is
tan θ = 100 / 50
θ = tan-1 (2)
θ = 63.43°

The height of the bird before it dropped the fish is already given, which is 100 yards.

What's the Constant of Proportianlity/Unit Rate?​
Leto [7]

Answer:

1/3 cup of juice per cup of berries

Step-by-step explanation:

The table shows that if we go from 0 to 4 cups (a "run" of 4 cups), the juice output is 1 1/3 (or 4/3) (a "rise" of 4/3 cups), and so the desired constant of proportionality is the unit rate

(4/3) cups

------------------------ = 1/3 cup of juice per cup of berries

  4 cups berries
