30 POINTS GEOMETRY QUESTION

2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

x/1 = (9+x)/5

9 + x = 5x

9 = 4x

x = 2.25

x = 9/4

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the triangles are similar

We can use ratios to solve

x          x+9

=

1            5

Using cross products

5x = 1(x+9)

5x = x+9

Subtract x

5x-x = x+9-x

4x= 9

Divide by 4

4x/4 = 9/4

x = 9/4

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

step-by-step explanation:

what level of math? also i don't need to be paid if i can you.
