Use an alternative method such as plugging the answer onto the formula to solve the equation Length of the pool = 24 feet

Width of the pool = 14 feet

Depth of the pool = 5 feet

Volume of the pool = length × width × depth

= 24 ft * 14 ft * 5 ft

= 1,750 ft³

Volume of the pool = 1,750 ft³

He needs to add 4 drops of chlorine for every 50 cubic feet in his pool.

Number of 50 cubic feet in the volume of the pool = Volume of the pool / 50 ft³

= 1,750 ft³ / 50 ft³

= 35

Number of 50 cubic feet in the volume of the pool = 35

How many drops of chlorine should Jorge use to chlorinate his pool properly?

Number of drops of chlorine Jorge should use = number of drops per 50 ft³ × Number of 50 cubic feet in the volume of the pool

= 4 × 35

= 140 drops

Number of drops of chlorine Jorge should use = 140 drops

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2

second option

step-by-step explanation:

the measures of a triangle equal 180. use that to find x.

2x+3x+4x=180

9x=180

9x/9=180/9

x=20

now you know x, you know angle a is 40°, angle b is 60°, angle c is 80°.

because angle a is 40°, the first option doesn't work.

because angle b is 60°, the second option does work.

when you add angle a and b, you get 100°. complementary means it equals 90°, so the third option doesn't work.

when you add angle a and c, you get 120°, which is not 100.
