Answer: Fish A: 9 inches ; Fish B: 6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be turned into a systems of equation, where x equals the length of fish A and y equals the length of fish B:

3x + 2y = 39 → -3x - 2y = -39

3x + 4y = 51 → 3x +4y = 51

Combine: 0 + 2y = 12 → y = 6 inches.

Plug back in: 3x + 2(6) = 39 → 3x = 27 → x = 9 inches.

ADHE - ADGF below. Find the value of 'x'.<br> X<br> H н<br> E<br> 8<br> 2.<br> 12
Vlad1618 [11]

Given:

\Delta DHE\sim \Delta DGF

To find:

The value of x.

Solution:

We know that, corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional.

Since,\Delta DHE\sim \Delta DGF, therefore

\dfrac{HE}{GF}=\dfrac{DE}{DF}

On substituting the values from the figure, we get

\dfrac{8}{12}=\dfrac{x}{x+2}

\dfrac{2}{3}=\dfrac{x}{x+2}

On cross multiplication, we get

2(x+2)=3x

2x+4=3x

4=3x-2x

4=x

Therefore, the value of x is 4.
