Answer:
x = 2root(22)
see image.
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangle shown is one big triangle cut into two more smaller triangles: one medium-sized and one smaller.
ALL THREE TRIANGLES ARE SIMILAR BY AA.
Set the two smaller triangles up so you can see the corresponding sides. x is the short leg in one triangle and it is the long leg in the smallest triangle. Set up a proportion.
22/x = x/4
crossmultiply
x^2 = 22•4
x^2 = 88
square root both sides.
x = sqroot(88)
x = 2sqroot(22)
see image.
Answer:
17/16 OR minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Since Jayla spent 1/16 of a minute AND one whole minute watching a millipede crawl, we'd need to first add the two numbers.
Since the given minute is out of 16, we can convert the one minute to 16/16. This means we can add the other 1/16 of a minute.
This leaves us with Jayla watching the millipede for 17/16 OR minutes.
Hope this helps!! <3 :)
