Answer:
e. 10√30
Step-by-step explanation:
In this right triangle geometry, all of the right triangles are similar. This means that the ratio of long side to hypotenuse is the same for all triangles:
x/(10+50) = 50/x
Multiplying by 60x, we have ...
x^2 = 3000
x = 10√30 . . . . . take the square root. Matches choice E.

<em>Comment on estimating</em>
You're looking for x. Examining the figure, you see that x is the long side of the triangle with hypotenuse 10+50=60, so it will be shorter than that value. x is also the hypotenuse of the triangle with long side 50. So, x will be longer than 50.
The only answer choice with a value between 50 and 60 is choice E.
You don't even need to know how to find x. You only need to know that the hypotenuse is the longest side in a right triangle.
Answer:
Side 1 = 8, side 2=6, side 3=3 1/3 or 10/3
Step-by-step explanation:
We can set up a proportion comparing the sides of the original triangle to the new triangle.
The original triangle has sides 12, 9, and 5. The new triangle has sides 8, e, and f (use whatever letters you like, it doesn't matter, but for me, e is the side with the middle length and f is the side with the shortest length.
We can write 3 ratios, with the length of the new triangle over the length of the old triangle.
8/12 e/9 f/5
To figure out e and f, put each ratio equal to 8/12.
<u>8 </u> = <u>e</u> Then multiply both sides of the equation by 9 and get <u>72 </u> = e, 6=e.
12 9 12
<u>8 </u> = <u>f </u> Then multiply both sides of the equation by 9 and get <u>40 </u> = f, <u>10</u>=f.
12 5 12 3
10/3 can be rewritten as 3 1/3.
