Answer: 12,000 lbs is equal to 6 tons

Hello!</h2>
The answer is:
The length of "x" is equal to 4 units.
<h2>
Why?</h2>
To solve the problem and find the length of x, we need to remember the alternate angles rule. The alternate angles rule establish that alternate angles will be also equal.
So, for the triangles, we have:
The angle((α)) formed between the base (2.5) and the hypotenuse (5) of the big triangle is equal to the angle(α) formed between the base (2) and the hypotenuse (x) of the small triangle. It also means that the triangles are similar since they have congruent angles(α) and proportional sides (SAS).
We are given:
First triangle,

Second triangle,

So, using the cosine identity, we have:



Therefore, we have that the hypotenuse of the second triangle (x) is equal to 4 units.
Hence, the length of "x" is equal to 4 units.
Have a nice day!
Answer:
3.5 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
create a proportion:
inches / miles = inches / miles
let 'x' = distance in inches
<u>1/4</u> = <u> x </u>
18 252
18x = 252(1/4)
18x = 63
x = 63 / 18
x = 3.5
1) gradient of line = Δ y ÷ Δ x
= (5 -2) ÷ (3 - (-6))
= ¹/₃
using the point-slope form (y-y₁) = m(x-x₁)
using (3,5)
(y - 5) = ¹/₃ (x -3)
y - 5 = ¹/₃x - 1
⇒ <span> y = ¹/₃ x + 4 [OPTION D]
</span>2) y = 2x + 5 .... (1)
<span> </span>y = ¹/₂ x + 6 .... (2)
by substituting y in (1) for y in (2)
2x + 5 = ¹/₂ x + 6
³/₂ x = 1
x = ²/₃
by substituting found x (2)
y = ¹/₂ (²/₃) + 6
y = ¹⁹/₃
∴ common point is (²/₃ , ¹⁹/₃) thus answer is FALSE [OPTION B]
3) Yes [OPTION A]
This is because the both have a gradient of 5 and if they have the same gradient then that means that the two lines are parallel to each other.
4) No [OPTION B]
Two lines are perpendicular if their gradients multiply to give - 1 and as such one is the negative reciprocal of the other. Since both gradients are ¹/₂ then they are actually parallel and not perpendicular.
Ok. you're looking for the slope intercept, or how much each of them had before they started saving. Chris had $27, as that is where his line crossed the y axis, and Connie, when graphed, intercepted at $9. <span />
