<h3>
Answer: Choice D. 12,600 feet</h3>
============================================================
Explanation:
We have two similar triangles here, so we can set up the proportion below to solve for x
5200/(5200+6500) = 5600/x
5200/11700 = 5600/x
5200x = 11700*5600 .... cross multiply
5200x = 65,520,000
x = (65,520,000)/(5200)
x = 12,600 which shows why the answer is choice D
side note: 12,600 ft = 2.386 miles approximately
The volume of a rectangular prism is given by length x width x height.
Now in the question the volume is given, length is given, and width is given.
First, change each mixed fraction into improper
2 3/8 = 19/8
1 3/4 = 7/4
The problem will look like: (19/8)/(7/4)
To solve, flip the second fraction, and change the division sign into a multiplication sign.
(19/8)/(7/4) = (19/8) x (4/7)
Multiply across
(19/8) x (4/7) = 76/56
Simplify.
76/56 simplified = 19/14
Change to mixed fraction
19/14 = 14/14 + 5/14 = 1 5/14
1 5/14 is your answer
hope this helps
ANSWER :
The center-radius form of the circle equation is in the format (x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2, with the center being at the point (h, k) and the radius being "r". This form of the equation is helpful, since you can easily find the center and the radius.
