Answer: WX = 4

Concept:

Here, we need to know the idea of segment addition postulate.

The Segment Addition Postulate states that given 2 points A and C, a third point B lies on the line segment AC if and only if the distances between the points satisfy the equation AB + BC = AC.

Solve:

<u>Given information</u>

VX = 18

VW = 14

<u>Given expression deducted from the segment addition postulate</u>

WX = VX - VW

<u>Substitute values into the expression</u>

WX = 18 - 14

<u>Simplify by subtraction</u>

WX = 4

Hope this helps!! :)

Answer:

66600 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

First draw a rectangle and draw a diagonal line in the middle. The line makes two triangles, and the line itself is the hypotenuse. So, to find hypotenuse, the formula is:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

The variable c defines the hypotenuse. Therefore:

a = 150

b = 210

Let's solve:

150^2 + 210^2 = c^2

22500 + 44100 = c^2

66600 = c^2

Therefore, in conclusion, the result we are getting is 66600 ft.

A) Scale factor:

Divide 2 congruent sides:

24 / 36 = 0.667

From PQR to XYZ is a 0.667  (2/3 as a fraction) scale factor.

B) Volume = (1/2 x base x side) x height:

Volume = 1/2 * 36 x 48 = 864 * 15 = 12,960 cubic inches.

C) Find the height of the prism:

7776 = (1/2 * base * sides) x height

7776 = (1/2 x 36 x 48) * height

7776 = 864 * height

Height = 7776 / 864 = 9 inches.

The scale factor is 2/3, the height of XYZ = 2/3 *9 = 6 inches.

Volume of XYZ = 1/2 x 24 x 32 = 384 x 6 = 2,304 cubic inches.
