Find an ordered pair to represent ; in the equation 7 - 8 tj if - (-1.4) and 5 = (3. - 2).
a. 1-2, - 2)
c. (-2, 2)
d. 2. - 2)
b. (2,2)

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4

step-by-step explanation:

what is the figure? attach a picture.

the distance between the school and her home is 3.6km.

12 mins = 0.2 hours = 1/5 hour

54 ÷ 3 = 18km per hour

1/5 of 18 = 3.6km per 12 mins
