Remark
If the lines are parallel then triangle RQS will be similar to triangle RTP
From that, all three lines in one triangle will bear the same ratio to all three lines of the second triangle.
Givens
PQ = 8
QR = 5
RS = 15
ST = x + 3
Ratio
QR/RP = RS/RT
Sub and solve
RP = 5 + 8
RP = 13
RT = 15 + x + 3
RT = 18 + x
5/13 = 15 / (18 + x) Cross multiply
5(18 + x) = 195 Remove the brackets on the left.
90 + 5x = 195 Subtract 90 from both sides.
5x = 105 Divide by 5
x = 105/5
x = 21 Answer <<<<<<<
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
The green is the starting place, when you move from a point on the green triangle to the blue one, you go 5 to the left and 3 down.
Agree....There are 12 boys and every 2 = 6 groups 6x2
There are 24 girls and every 4 to the 2 =6 groups 6x4
