Yes, you are correct.
From the image, we can see 3 triangles, the large triangle and the two triangles that make the larger triangle.
All 3 of these triangles are similar since they're angle measurements are the same (can be proven by geometry).
We can gather the following information from the given information.
- The largest triangle (the one made up of two triangles) has a hypotenuse of 3+9=12, and a leg length of x. The hypotenuse to leg ratio is 12/x
- The second largest triangle has a hypotenuse length x and leg length 9. The hypotenuse to leg ratio is x/9
We know the hypotenuse to corresponding leg ratio must be equal since these two triangles are similar. Thus, we have the equation:
12/x = x/9
Using the cross product property gives us:
x² = 9 × 12
x² = 108
Taking the square root of both sides gives us:
x = √108
= 6 √3
Thus, your answer is correct. Great job!

Answer: D) -5/6 < -3/5 < -4/7 < -4/9
Step-by-step explanation:
Since putting fractions from least to greatest by using negatives the number or fraction has to be closed to 0. -5/6 is the farthest from 0 so it'll be the least -4/9 is closes to 0 so -4/9 is the most.
Step-by-step explanation:
1.
1% of 500 is 5 so multiply 5 by 8 for one year. which is 40 so multiply that by 2.
1% of 500 = 5
5 × 8 = 40
40 × 2 = 80
2.
1% of 1000 = 10
10 × 5 = 50
50 × 3 = 150
3.
12 months = 6%
6/12 = 1 month
0.5 = 1 month
0.5 × 9 = 4.5 (the amount of interest for 9 months.)
800 × 4.5% = 36
4.
12 months = 7%
7/12 = 1 month ( i'll leave this in fraction form because of the decimal points.)
7/12 x 8 = 4.666667 or 4.7 rounded.
1200 × 4.7% = 56.40
Answer:
1/3 of the pizza remains.
Step-by-step explanation:
Matthew eats 1/3 of 1/2 of the pizza, which is (1/3)*(1/2) = 1/6 of the pizza. The amount of pizza left is
1/2 - 1/6 = 3/6 - 1/6 = 2/6 = 1/3
1/3 of the pizza remains.
4 pounds. you subtract 39.08 from 70 and divide the result by 7.73
