Answer:

x = 7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

A line parallel to a side of a triangle and intersecting the other 2 sides, divides those sides proportionally, that is

\frac{8}{10} = \frac{6}{x} ( cross- multiply )

8x = 60 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x = \frac{60}{8} = 7.5

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

The area of triangle K is 16 times greater than the area of triangle J

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If Triangle K is a scaled version of Triangle J

then

Triangle K and Triangle J are similar

If two triangles are similar, then the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared

Let

z -----> the scale factor

Ak ------> the area of triangle K

Aj -----> the area of triangle J

so

z^{2}=\frac{Ak}{Aj}

we have

z=4

substitute

4^{2}=\frac{Ak}{Aj}

16=\frac{Ak}{Aj}

Ak=16Aj

therefore

The area of triangle K is 16 times greater than the area of triangle J

vekshin1

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.
