Katya cut part of the jump rope off to make it shorter. The new length is 8 and StartFraction 1 over 6 EndFraction feet. The difference between the original length and the new length is StartFraction 5 over 6 EndFraction foot. The equation x minus 8 and StartFraction 1 over 6 EndFraction = StartFraction 5 over 6 EndFraction can be used to represent this problem, where x is the original length of the rope. What was the original length of the rope?

it is b)

hope this : )

step-by-step explanation:

7

step-by-step explanation:

the answer would be 7

the correct option is 2.

step-by-step explanation:

according to the given information triangle abc is a right angle triangle with right angle at a. segment ab is 5 and segment ac is 7. point d is on segment bc and angles adb and adc are right angles.

it is given that triangles abd, cad, and cba are similar.

two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional.

in triangle cba, using pythagoras theorem

                      )

triangle abd and cba are similar,

                            (2)

triangle cad and cba are similar,

                      )

using (1), (2) and (3), we get

hence proved.

therefore option 2 is correct.
