Question

The triangles below are similar. Find the length and round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

Answer 1

The length of the hypotenuse of the triangle is 10.3 blocks.

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypotenuse of the triangle is the straight-line path, and so in this case its length in units of city blocks is 10.3 blocks, considerably shorter than the 14 blocks you walked. (Note that we are using three significant figures in the answer. Although it appears that '9' and '5' have only one significant digit, they are discrete numbers. In this case '9 blocks' is the same as '9.0 or 9.00 blocks.' We have decided to use three significant figures in the answer in order to show the result more precisely.)

Answer 2

x=48

Step-by-step explanation:

You start with the values of 4 and 16. Figure out how many times 4 goes into 16, which is 4. (4*4=16)

Now, since 4 is multiplied by itself to reach the value of 16, 12 will also be multiplied by 4 to give you the value of x.
