In a proportion there are letters assigned to represent various numbers. a, b, c, and d.
a, b, c, and d are 4 non-zero rational numbers that are terms of proportion.
a/b = c/d or a:b = c:d
a and d are the end terms or known as the extremes.
b and c are the middle terms or known as the means.
With this information, we can gather that the extremes of the following proportion are 3 and 60.
3/15 = 12/60 ; a/b = c/d
a = 3 ; b = 15 ; c = 12 ; d = 60
3 and 60 are the extremes
15 and 12 are the means
Ok so we are using the Pythagorean theorem so were gonna do A^2 + B^2 = C^2
It don't say which leg we have so you can use either a or b.
Which would get us 14^2 + B^2 = 50^2
14*14 =196 , 50 *50 =2500
Then we have to subtract the two.
So 2500 - 196 = 2,304
Then you take the take the square root of that answer and you have your other leg.
The square root of 2,304 is 48
So the missing leg = 48
Answer:
13.50=1.50+.6x
Step-by-step explanation:
13.50=1.50+ .6x
12=.6x
20=x
I think it would be B hope it helps
