Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up ratios of corresponding sides. x+2 is to 6 as 2 is to 3:
Now cross multiply to get
3(x + 2) = 12 and
3x + 6 = 12 so
3x = 6 and
x = 2. That means that side AB, x + 2, is 2 + 2 which is 4
3/x=36
Multiply both sides by x
3=36x
Then divide both sides by 36
3/36=x
1/12=x
Final answer: 1/12
Each yard is 3 feet, so
15•3= 45 feet
Answer
x = 7.5
Explanation
This is a case of similar triangles.
Similar triangles have bigger triangles which have sides which are multiples of smaller triangles sides.
We know that the adjacent side of the bigger triangle is 6 and for the smaller triangle it’s 4 so the constant factor by which the sides of the small triangle are multiplied to obtain the sides of the large triangle is
6/4 = 3/2
Since we know the hypotenuse of the smaller triangle is 5.
Multiply this by 3/2 to get the hypotenuse of the bigger triangle
3/2 • 5 = 7.5
