Answer:
E) 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
This is no ordinary problem. It actually requires you to solve two different problems in order to figure out the correct answer.
First, we must figure out what the hypotenuse of the triangle is. We have the two small sides (5 and 12), but don't have the larger side. To find this, we must use the Pythagorean theorem: 
Let's plug in our a and b values

Simplify


Square both sides

But sadly, we aren't done yet. Now we know the length of the whole hypotenuse side. Time to figure out what X is by a simple equation.

Simplify

Divide by 26
Answer is 1/2
C, see explanation in the picture attached below.
Answer:
The Order of operations is PEMDAS: Parentheces, Exponents, Multiplcation, Division, Addition, Subtraction
Step-by-step explanation:

Option A is not correct because it equals 9.
Option B is not correct because it equals -66
Option C is CORRECT because it equals 3 that is your ANSWER
Option D is not correct because it equals 0

Answer:
17. Scale Factor is 3:1
18. Scale Factor is 1:3
Step-by-step explanation:
Scale Factor: In two similar shapes, the ratio of their corresponding sides is called scale factor.
17. Give the scale factor of Figure A to Figure B
Figure A has sides:
Hypotenuse = 15
Perpendicular = 12
Base = 9
Figure B has sides:
Hypotenuse = 5
Perpendicular = 4
Base = 3
So, if we divide all sides of figure A by 3 we get Figure B
So, Figure A : Figure B
3:1
18. Give the scale factor of Figure B to Figure A
Figure B has sides:
Hypotenuse = 5
Perpendicular = 4
Base = 3
Figure A has sides:
Hypotenuse = 15
Perpendicular = 12
Base = 9
If we multiply 3 with the sides of Figure B we can get the sides of Figure A.
So scale factor is 3.
So, Figure B : Figure A
1:3
