Find the missing length. The triangles are similar.

Answer:

182

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we can say that ∠ACB and ∠BCF are opposite angles because they are not next to each other and are formed by intersecting lines. Therefore, ∠ACB = ∠BCF

Next, angles correspond with the side opposite of it. This means that, for example, ∠ACB corresponds with line AB and ∠BCF corresponds with line BF. Because ∠ACB and ∠BCF are equal and the triangles are similar, we can say that their corresponding sides have a ratio with each other. Similarly, ∠CAB corresponds to CB, ∠ABC corresponds to AC, ∠CWV corresponds to CV, and ∠CVW corresponds to CB.

Because the triangle CVW is isosceles, we can say that the angles whose corresponding sides are equal are equal as well, so ∠CAB = ∠ABC and ∠CVW = ∠CVW. Next, because ∠ACB and ∠BCF are equal and correspond to each other, and the other two angles in each triangle are equal to each other, we can say that the other two angles must be equal. Another way of putting this is like this:

Say that x = ∠CAB. Then,

∠CAB + ∠ABC + ∠ACB = 180

x + x + ∠ACB = 180

2x + ∠ACB = 180

subtract ∠ACB from both sides

180 - ∠ACB = 2x

Similarly, if y = ∠CWV,

180 - ∠WCV = 2y. Therefore, 2y=2x and y=x, so ∠CAB = ∠ABC = ∠CWV = ∠CVW.

Given this, we can say that sides CV and CW correspond with BC and AC. This means that the ratio between, for example, CV and BC is equal to the ratio between CW and AC. Therefore,

CV/BC = CW/AC

84/182 = 84/?

Filling in the blank, 84/182 is equal to 84/182, so ? = 182

In one day, Ricardo hiked 2_ 2 3 times as far as Bernie and Chloe hiked before they ate lunch. How far did he hike?
umka21 [38]

Complete question :

Bernie and Chloe hiked the Tremont Trail to the end and back. Then they hiked the Wildflower trail to the end before stopping to eat lunch. Before Ricardo ate his lunch, he hiked 2 2/3 times as far as Bernie and Chloe. How far did he hike?

Required diagram is attached below

Answer:

25 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Tremont Trail = 3 1/2 miles

Wildflower trail = 2 3/8 miles

Distance covered ; Tremont Trail and back : (3 1/2 * 2). = 7/2 * 2 = 14 /2 = 7 miles

Total distance covered by Bernie and Chloe before stopping for lunch /

(7 miles + 2 3/8 Miles) = 9 3/8 miles = 75/8 miles

Ricardo's distance = 2 2/3 * Bernie and Chloe's total distance

Ricardo's distance = 8/3 * 75/8 = 600 /24 = 25 miles
