OpenStudy (skittles_for_life6422):

so do guys know how to solve this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm just checking it out. I've been half asleep all day :P

Directrix (directrix):

This is going to be a two-step problem, I think. First, solve this for x: (2x)/27 = 24/(4x)

Directrix (directrix):

Post what you get for x so that we can go to the next step.

OpenStudy (skittles_for_life6422):

ok btw should i cross multiply

Directrix (directrix):

Right

OpenStudy (skittles_for_life6422):

81=x

OpenStudy (skittles_for_life6422):

is that correct

Directrix (directrix):

I did not get that. I will check my work.

Directrix (directrix):

Check and see if you got x^2 = 81. If so, take square roots to solve for x.

OpenStudy (skittles_for_life6422):

x=9

Directrix (directrix):

Yes

Directrix (directrix):

Let y = DA 20/y = 24/36 Solve for y.

OpenStudy (skittles_for_life6422):

y=30

Directrix (directrix):

Correct. That is the answer for DA.
