Answer 1

@Vocaloid

Answer 2

so C is the only possibility

Answer 3

Thanks, can you help me with 5 more?

Answer 4

sure

Answer 5

Okay, I can solve this, but I need it set up for me. I'm terrible at knowing how to set it up http://prntscr.com/hykhi4

Answer 6

you can pick two corresponding sets of side to set up a ratio

Answer 7

so if 12/3 = x/4 what is x?

Answer 8

x=16

Answer 9

good

Answer 10

Thats the answer?

Answer 11

It is

Answer 12

Answer 13

side 1/side 2 = side 4/side 3

9/(2x+4) = 6/(x+4)

first step solve for x *** however do not stop here, there is more more step because we want the value of Ed not x

Answer 14

x=4

Answer 15

good

now, ED = x + 4 so simply add 4 to that value to get 8 = your answer

Answer 16

How would I set it up?
ED=4+4?

Answer 17

yup

since ED = x + 4 and x = 4 you just replace the x to get 4 + 4

Answer 18

So ED = 8

Answer 19

yes

Answer 21

since x is on the hypotenuse we will include the hypotenuse in our ratios since we need to solve for x

big hypotenuse/small hypotenuse = big leg/small leg

Answer 22

if you feel comfortable try to set up a ratio using this information, I'll help you if you get stuck

Answer 23

I have no clue how to set up the ratio XD

Answer 24

the hypotenuse is the biggest side of a right triangle

so bigger triangle hypotenuse/smaller triangle hypotenuse = ?

Answer 25

96:25?

Answer 26

so big hypotenuse/small hypotenuse = (6x+28)/25

Answer 27

now, we pick two corresponding legs from the big triangle and the small triangle

Answer 28

giving us:

big leg/small leg = 28/7

so (6x+28)/25 = 28/7 and then solve for x

Answer 29

Oh x=12

Answer 30

yup so x = 12 = your answer

Answer 32

using a similar principle from before:

big triangle leg/small triangle leg = big triangle leg/small triangle leg

x/5 = 5/4
solve for x

Answer 33

x=25/4

Answer 34

good now convert that to a decimal

Answer 35

0.16

Answer 36

Answer 37

be careful with the division

when you are converting from a fraction to a decimal it is numerator divided by denominator

so 25 divided by 4 = ?

Answer 38

6.25

Answer 39

good so 6.25 is the answer for that other flag one

Answer 40

for the hockey player problem we use the same principle

Answer 41

big leg/small leg = big leg/small leg

x/8 = 12/9

solve for x

Answer 42

32/3

Answer 43

Make it a decimal and round to the nearest hundreth. Let me see if I can do this. If not, then I can ask for help XD

Answer 44

10

Answer 45

hundreth means 2 decimal places

Answer 46

Oh, right

Answer 47

10.66

Answer 48

I'd round that up to 10.67 but yeah you have the right idea

Answer 49

Okay, thanks for your help
