Anew bridge structure requires triangles that are in a ratio of 1: 1. if ac = 2x + 10 and ec = 4x − 18, find the distance between the top and bottom of the bridge, in feet.

 The required distance between the top and bottom of the bridge is 76 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that a new bridge structure requires triangles that are in a ratio of 1:1.

AC = 2x + 10 and EC = 4x − 18.

We are to find the distance between the top and bottom of the bridge, in feet.

Since the two triangles ACB and DCE are in the ratio 1 : 1, so their corresponding sides are also in the ratio 1 : 1.

The sides AC and EC are corresponding to each other, so we must have

Therefore, the distance between the top and bottom of the bridge is

Thus, the required distance between the top and bottom of the bridge is 76 feet.

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)
