A. 5.6 inches
B. 7.5 inches
C. 10 inches
D. 12 inches<< My answer


is this right?

Answer 1

9/x = x/16
x^2 = 144
x = 12

Answer 2

Look at the figure below.

What is the value of x rounded to the nearest tenth?
A. 2
B. 2.4
C. 3
D. 8.5<<My answer

is this right

Answer 3

6/x = x/12
x^2 = 72
x = 8.48 or 8.5

Answer 4

first one is correct x = 12 inch

Answer 5

awesome! :)

Answer 6

second one , check again

Answer 7

did I do the set up wrong...
6/x = x/12?

Answer 8

perfect now :)

Answer 9

noo wait a sec

Answer 10

RSQ ~ PRQ

=>

SQ/RQ = RQ/PQ

x/6 = 6/12

x = 36/12

x = 3

Answer 11

from there I cross multiplied to get x^2 = 72 and the sqrt of 72 is 8.48 or 8.5

Answer 12

ohhh okay, I see what I did

Answer 13

great :)
