Suppose you want to represent a triangle with sides 12 feet, 16 feet, and 18 feet on a drawing where 1 inch = 2 feet. how long should the sides of the triangle be in inches?
the sides of the triangle on the drawing should be

The sides of the triangle on the drawing should be 6 inches, 8 inches, and 9 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A triangle with sides 12 feet, 16 feet, and 18 feet on a drawing where 1 inch = 2 feet.

Then, 1 feet of original triangle = inch on drawing.

Now, the sides of the triangle on the drawing are:-

12 feet =

12 feet =

12 feet =

Hence, the sides of the triangle on the drawing should be 6 inches, 8 inches, and 9 inches.

unpaid balance is : $149.99-$50 = $99.99 new balance = 149.99+2.62-50 = $102.61 finance charge = 99.99- 0.21/12= $1.75 new balance = 99.99+1.75 = $101.74 average daily balance method average daily balance= 3399.70/30 = $113.32 finance charge = $ 0.21/12ă—113.32 = $1.98 new balance = $149.99-50+1.98 = $101.97

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4
