Given:
width of bookshelf no greater than 6 1/2 feet
purchased bookshelf that is 77 inches wide
We need to find the equivalent value in feet of the purchased bookshelf.
1 foot is equal to 12 inches
77 inches * 1 foot/12 inches = 77 ft/12 = 6 5/6 ft
Or we can convert the feet into inches:
6 1/2 feet convert to improper fraction.
((6*2)+1)/2 = 13/2 feet
13/2 ft * 12 inches/1ft = (13 * 12)/2 = 156/2 = 78 inches
Compare the maximum width of 78 inches to the actual width of 77 inches.
The purchased bookshelf can fit between two windows.
Answer:
x = 5/4
y = 7/4
Step-by-step explanation:
The smaller triangle and the larger one are similar, so the sides are proportional.
(x+5)/5 = 10/8
x/5 + 1 = 1/4 + 1 . . . . . divide it out
x/5 = 1/4 . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 1
x = 5/4 . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 5
___
For y, you can do exactly the same computations, replacing every instance of 5 with a 7. Then you get ...
y = 7/4
19-y because you are taking away y from 19
Answer:
x=5
Step-by-step explanation:
19x and its vertical angle are equal. Lets call that angle y
<y and 17x are same side interior angles. Same side interior angles add to 180 if the lines are parallel. Since l is parallel to m.
<y + 17x=180
We know that y and 19x are equal since they are vertical angles, so we can substitute this in.
19x+ 17x = 180
Combine like terms.
36x = 180
Divide each side by 36
36x/36 = 180/36
x = 5
To solve divide both sides by 4 to cancel out the 4 on the x side to get x alone. Then just do -10/4. That gives you 2.5 so (X=2.5). Hope I helped and have a great day and night
