26, 24, 28 could be the answer
Caution: you need to use the same units of measurement throughout. If the spring stretches by 21 cm when a 135 newton object is attached, then you must ask for the mass (in newtons) of a fish that would stretch the spring by 62.1 cm.
We will need to assume that the spring is not stretched at all if and when no object is attached to the spring.
Write the ratio
21.0 cm 135 newtons
------------- = --------------------
62.1 cm x
Solve this for x. This x value represents the mass of a fish that would stretch the spring by 62.1 cm. You can cancel "cm" in the equation above:
21.0 135 newtons
------ = --------------------
62.1 x
Then 21.0x = (62.1)(135 newtons). Divide both sides of this equation by 21.0 to solve it for x.
ABC=DBC
(This will probably be a way more complex explanation than you need but it’s what I did.)
Okay so you know B=B because they’re both right angles. You know A=D because of the isosceles triangle theorem- if two sides of a triangle are congruent, then the angles opposite those sides are congruent. That leaves C=C. If B=B and A=D and all triangles add up to 180 degrees, C and C need to be the same.
