Mathematics

MAVERICK [17]3 years ago

X = 10

The triangles are similar by SAS, so we can set up a proportion of their sides.

9/(33-9) = 12/(3x+2)
9/24 = 12/3x+2

Reduce
3/8 = 12/3x+2

Cross multiply
3(3x+2) = 12*8

Distribute and multiply
9x + 6 = 96

Subtract 6
9x = 90

Divide by 9
x = 10

Check:
9/24 = 12/3x+2
9/24 = 12/3*10 + 2
9/24 = 12/30 + 2
9/24 = 12/32
3/8 = 3/8 :)

A long jump pit is 10m long 3m wide and 50cm deep. How many cubic metres of sand are needed to fill it?
ahrayia [7]
Answer= 15 cubic meters

Explanation:
To find the answer you will need to find the volume of the sand pit. To find the volume you do length x height x width. However, you first need to convert the 50cm to metres, which would be 0.5 metres. So you would do 10 x 3 x 0.5 = 15
