Answer:
The proportion is =
, and the length of the unknown side is
or 27.22 approximately rounded to the nearest hundredth.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangles are similar, the proportion of corresponding sides are equal. The pairs of corresponding sides in these triangles which we'll use to solve it are LK, KE, MK, and KF. LK and KE are corresponding sides, and their proportion is . MK and KF are corresponding sides, and their proportion is
in which x represents the missing side. The proportions are equal, so
=
. Multiply both sides by 84 to isolate the variable, and you'll get
, which is
or

Answer:
a) <em>t</em> ≥ 5
b) (see below)
Step-by-step explanation:
First, make note of the info you are given and what you're trying to do:
- at midnight, 5°C
- drops consistently 2°C per hour
- finding <em>t</em>
- <em>t </em>= # of hours past midnight when temp. was past -4°C
- put <em>t</em> on a number line
So, first, you need to find the first point at when the temperature goes past -4°C. Notice that the question is asking for past -4°C, not -4°C<em> and</em> past. This means we're not including -4°C.
Every hour, we're dropping by 2°C. You can draw a visual to better understand the situation. See the image below.
So we know that starting from 5 am, we are lower than -4°C.
This is 5 hours from midnight.
So <em>t</em> ≥ 5. This means that the number of hours past midnight when the temperature was colder than -4°C was 5 or more hours.
On the number line, draw a circle on 5 (between 4 and 6), but shade it in because it includes 5. Then, shade or highlight to the right of that circle to the end of the number line.
This shows that <em>t</em> is equal to or greater than 5.
