Answer:

BC = 28 $\frac{1}{3}$ ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

$\frac{AX}{AB}$ = $\frac{XY}{BC}$ , substitute values

$\frac{12}{20}$ = $\frac{17}{BC}$ ( cross- multiply )

12BC = 340 ( divide both sides by 12 )

BC = $\frac{340}{12}$ = $\frac{85}{3}$ = 28 $\frac{1}{3}$

What it the inequality for this interval? (-00, 2] u (8,00)

stepan [7]

Interval notation tells you what values where the function is defined. It’s defined all the way from negative infinity to positive 2, then there’s a gap all the way to positive 8, then we continue on to positive infinity. So x, would be literally every single number besides the number between 2 and 8. Oh and don’t forget that brackets mean included, so 2 is also a value that’s acceptable.

x is less than or equal to 2
and
x is greater than 8

Megan and Kate decided to race their bikes. If Megan can ride at 12 mph and Kate can ride at 16 mph, how long until they are 1 1

Shkiper50 [21]

You would have to use an equation. The equation should be 12n+16n=1.5 When you found your answer, you should then use that decimal amount to "times" one hour to get the time. I am pretty sure that this is correct.

Lena's guest house is 15 m long and 12 m wide. How long is the diagonal of the house?

Lerok [7]

Draw dagarm (see attachment)

we've got a right triangle
the legs are 12 and 15
and the hypohuse is the diagonal

remember, for any right tirnalge
when the legs are a and b and hytponuse is c then
a²+b²=c²

so
12²+15²=c²
144+225=c²
369=c²
sqrt both sides
√369=c
3√41=c
the diagonal is 3√41 m or about 19.2m
