Awhole number is 6 more than 2 times another number. the sum of the two numbers is less than 50. this can be written in an inequality as x + 2x + 6 < 50, where x represents the smaller number.
from the set {13, 14, 15, 16, 17}, the values of x for which the inequality holds true are

a: {13, 14}

b: {13, 14, 15}

c: {15, 16, 17}

d: {16, 17}

5/12, or 5: 12

step-by-step explanation:

c.   x=2.4cm

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.
