First draw a rectangle. Label the longer sides as 20 feet long each. 20 + 20 = 40. that means there is 16 feet of fencing left for the shorter sides. This means that each of the shorter sides is 8 feet long <span />
If two triangles are similar, then their side lengths are proportional.
RS / JK = RT / JL
5 / x = 4 / 7
4x = 35
x = 35/4 = 8.75
RT / JL = TS / LK
4 / 7 = 6 / (y + 2)
42 = 4(y + 2)
42 = 4y + 4
4y = 38
y = 38/4 = 9.5
LK = 9.5 + 2 = 11.5 cm
JK = x = 8.75
Hope this helps!
She bought N pencils last month for 288, as the amount is in pennies. This month she bought N+12 for 720.
288/N = 720 / (N+12)
288(N+12) = 720N
288N + 3456 = 720N
3456 = 720N - 288N
3456=432N
N=8
She bought 8 pencils last month for 288, which is 36 cents each. And she bought 20 pencils this month for 720 which is 36 cents each. Hope this helped :)
