Answer: x = 67.5 ft

Explanation:

Following the statements you can draw the triangles mnp and mab.

1) Both are similar triangles with the common vertex m, and with these corresponding sides:

- segment mn corresponding to ma
- segment np corresponding np
- segment mp corresponding mb

2) So, by side-angle-side theorem

segment ma         segment mb
------------------ = ---------------------
segment mn          segment mp

3) You know:

- segment mn = 71.5
- segment ma = 71.5 - 22 = 49.5
- segment mb = x
- segment mp = 97.5

4) Therefore:

    x            49.5
--------- =  ----------
97.5            71.5

5) Solve for x:

x = 97.5 * 49.5 / 71.5 = 67.5

Answer: x = 67.5 ft.

PLEASE HELP‼️‼️Drag the expression that is the most reasonable measurement for each object.
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

<em>A. Length of a Tour Bus                       ↔     #2.      1.1 × 10¹ meters</em>

<em />

<em>B. Width of an apple                             ↔      #3.     4 × 10⁰ centimeters</em>

<em />

<em>C. Distance from Earth to a Satellite    ↔    #6.     8 × 10² kilometers</em>

<em />

<em>D. Thickness of a human hair               ↔     #5.      9 × 10¹ micrometers</em>

Explanation:

<u><em>A. Length of a tour bus.</em></u>

The length of a tour bus should be measured in meters. It sure is way less than 1 kilometer and way more than a few centimeters. It could be about some meters, more than 5 meters, may be between 10 meters and 15 meters.

The measurement in the box # 2. is 1.1 × 10¹ meters, which is equivalent to 1.1 × 10meters = 11 meters. Thus, this is a reasonable length.

<u><em>B. Width of an apple.</em></u>

The most appropiate unit to measure the width of an apple should be centimer. It certanly is shorter than 1 meter and bigger than 1 mm.

The width of an apple could be, more or less, around 8 centimeters. The only measurement in the boxes that is in that order is that in the box #3., 4 × 10⁰ centimeters, because 10⁰ = 1, so 4 × 10⁰ = 4 × 1 = 4centimeters.

<u><em>C. Distance from Earth to a Satellite</em></u>

The distance from Earth to a satellite should be measured in kilometers.

You can find in the internet that the distances of the satellites are between 700 kilometers and 36,000 kilometers.

The number in the box #1 is too big, in the order of ten trillions of kilometers, because one trillion is 10¹²; thus that is notreasonalbe (too big).

The number in the box #6 is  8 × 10² kilometers, which is equal to 8 × 100 = 800 kilometers.

Thus,  8 × 10² kilometers (box #6) is the most reasonable measurement for the distance from Earth to a Satellite

<u><em></em></u>

<u><em>D. Thickness of a human hair</em></u>

Of course, kilometers, meters, centimeters and even milimeters are units too big to measure the thickness of a human hair.

One micrometer is 10⁻⁶ meters or 10⁻³ milimeters.

In the internet you can find that diameter of the humar hairis in the range from 17 micrometers to 181 micrometers.

The measurement in the box #5. is 9 × 10¹ micrometers, which is equivalent to 9 × 10 = 90 micrometers.

Thus, 9 × 10¹ micrometers is the most reasonable measurement fot the thickness of a human hair.
