Answer:

  300

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of ratio units in 6:5 is 6+5=11, so each of those ratio units must stand for 550/11 = 50 detectives. Then the 6 ratio units of police detectives stand for 6·50 = 300 police detectives.

6) If the perimeter of the equilateral triangle ABC is x inches. The mid points of the sides are joined to form the smaller tria
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

96 in

Step-by-step explanation:

If the midpoints of the sides are joined to form the smaller triangle, then the perimeter of the smaller triangle is half the perimeter of the greater triangle, because the sides of the smaller triangle are midlines of the greater triangle. By the triangle's midline theorem, each triangle's midline is half the side to which this midline is parallel.

So, if the perimeter of 6th triangle is 3 inches, then the perimeter of 5th triangle is 6 inches, the perimeter of 4th triangle is 12 inches, the perimeter of 3rd triangle is 24 in, the perimeter of 2nd triangle is 48 in and the perimeter of the initial triangle is 96 in

Solve for z: 4 (z+6) -11 = 25<br> I need to show my work
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

z=3

Step-by-step explanation:

4(z+6)-11=25

add 11 to both sides

4(z+6)-11+11=25+11

simplify

4(z+6)=36

divide each side by 4

(4(z+6))/4=36/4

Simplify

z+6=9

subtract 6 from each side

z+6-6=9-6

simplify

z=3
