Given the dimensions of 72 yards by 1.5 yards, we can find that the total area of material the manufacturer has is 72 x 1.5 = 108 sq. yards. Dividing this by the 2.7 sq. yards required per shirt, they can make 108/2.7 = 40 shirts.
If 2 triangles are similar, the ratio of one side of the triangle to the corresponding side of the other is always same for all 3 sides.
We can make use of this rule to calculate the length of sides.
From the image,
3 / 15 = 6 / x
Simplify,
1 / 5 = 6 / x
Use cross method to solve this.
5 x 6 = 1 x x
X = 30
Therefore the length of x is 30ft., A.

"<span>Heather measured a swimming pool and made a scale drawing. In real life, the pool is 45 meters long. It is 65 millimeters long in the drawing. What scale did Heather use for the drawing?"...
65mm=</span>45m<span>
Reduce to Simpliest Form.
</span>65/5=<span>45/5
13mm=9m
As a Representative Fraction (scale), it would look like: (in regards to mm)
13:9000
Hope this helps.

So, put your "x's" together first and then your intercepts. That should answer your question :)
