First of all, we have to observe this triangles separated by the height. These small and big triangles are similar according to the Angle-Angle-Angle principle.
a. We can find all of these length using the cosine of the angle, Pythagoras theorem and the principle of the similarity of triangles.
b. According to the cosine of the angle we can write that, cosθ = 12/a = 5/13 and from here a = 31.2. After finding that using Pythagoras theorem, we can write that 
. According to the similarity of the triangles, we can write that 31.2/d = 28.8/12 and d = 13. Applying Pythagoras theorem we find that c = 5.
c. We already gave the answer for this question in part b
Answer:
|−70 − 15| = |−85| = 85 units - B
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
3.75
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
D - 33.75
Step-by-step explanation:
If the rectangles are similar, then you can use this cheat:
Width:
9/4 = 2.25
2.25 is the scale factor between the two rectangles.
Using the new-found scale factor, you can do this:
15 x 2.25 = 33.75
This means the length on the second rectangle is 33.75 inches long.
Hoping this helps you! :)
Call the number x. Then we write
2x - 5 = 17
To solve, add 5 and divide by 2...
2x = 22
x = 11
