Mathematics
1 answer:
hjlf2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Since they are similar triangles, their sides are proportional

12 : 15  :: 8 : x - 4

Product of extremes = Product of means

12 × ( x- 4 ) = 15 × 8

12x -48 = 120

12x = 120 + 48

12x = 168

x = 168/12

x = 14

A contractor is building a pool labeled ABCD on the plans. If AC = 5y + 6 and BD = 8y-3, what value of y ensures the pool is a r
KIM [24]

The value of y that ensures the pool is a rectangle is 3. Option D

<h3>How to determine the value</h3>

The formula for perimeter of a rectangle is expressed as;

Perimeter = 2 ( length + width)

It is important to note that parallel sides of a rectangle are congruent, that is, they are equal.

Given the sides as;

  • AC = 5y + 6
  • BD = 8y-3

5y + 6 = 8y -3

collect like terms

5y - 8y = -3 - 6

-3y = -9

Make 'y' the subject

y = 3

Thus, the value of y that ensures the pool is a rectangle is 3. Option D
