OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got b, 11.5. Do you agree?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

720 divided by 64?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

how u got 720?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6(20)6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no (6+20) 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait... that should be 156

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

yes, thts wht im thinking

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so what do I do with the (8+x)8?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

im getting 18.66

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

u will multiply (x+8) with 20.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and then what?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

20(x+8) = 26x 20x + 160 = 26x 6x = 160 x = 160/6 x = 26.66

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

finally, 26.66 - 8 equals 18.88

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

sorry, 18.66

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, so what accounts for the extra digit?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

hehe, hmm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your last problem - is that the one with sides 20, 6 and 8 and x in the circle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the two large triangles are similar so you can equate ratius of corresponding sides so (8+ x) / 26 = 6/8 x comes to 11.5
